“Emma and the girls are absolutely amazing. They took such good care of our fur baby. We got daily pictures and updates. I could not recommend them enough. We will be using them again in the future.”

“Wow wow wow! When our usual dog sitter cancelled, we were really sceptical to find a new one. But honestly, Sarah and her family looked after Ottilie as if they were one of her own. She went on adventures to local cafés and local parks and is honestly the most tired I’ve ever seen her. Sarah provided photo updates everyday and Ottilie always looked happy. Thank you so much for everything! Ottilie loves her new toy! Wouldn’t hesitate to book again.”

“Our Pegi had a wonderful time with Mari and family, she was so well looked after. Mari kept us up to date with messages and photos. Will definitely be booking in again soon. Thank you so much!”

About: I’ve had my dog now 4 years and have raised him from a pup. I’ve used Rover numerous times and I know what kind of sitter I would like to have taking care of my pet and I know I can provide the love, attention and care needed to make sure your baby is safe in my company You can expect a tailored and regular scheduled time to hang out, go for walks at the local parks. Lots of attention provided! We are very active and ratio about 3 to 4 walks a day as we enjoy getting out into the fields and enjoying the day. I provide dog walking, check ins at your residence if needed and I can offer doggy day care and overnight care. I’m available for all kind of specific needs your pet needs.

“Couldn’t be happier with the care Lexi provided for our cat, Max. From the very beginning, she was incredibly kind and welcoming, which immediately put us at ease. The day before we dropped Max off, he unfortunately got into a cat fight and needed medication for a few injuries. Despite this being very last minute, Lexi was so understanding and reassuring. She went above and beyond, even calling the vets for us when he had a reaction to one of the medications. She made a great effort to understand Max’s feeding routine, habits, and preferences. It was clear she wanted to get everything just right for him. Communication throughout was excellent. We received regular updates and photos. It was obvious Max was very settled and well looked after. Would highly recommend Lexi to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive pet sitter.”

“Emily was fantastic nothing was too much trouble. She asked lots of questions about what & how to look after him & She looked after and cared for Ben so well. He was very settled & I really appreciated the photos of him whilst I was away. An excellent sitter and an asset to Rover. Thank you Emily. I would definitely use Emily again.”

“Ezra had the best time. My-Yen sent loads of photos and updates, and I could tell how relaxed and happy Ezra was with her lovely family - he didn't really want to leave! I will definitely be back in touch next time we are in Cardiff for a doggy holiday. Thanks so much!”

“Lola had a fab week with Phoebe, and made a new friend in Beano! Communication throughout the week was brilliant and helped us to know Lola was getting on fine. Our booking was pretty last minute but Phoebe was brilliant and we won’t hesitate to book again (hopefully being a bit more organised and in advance next time!)”

“This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t have been happier with Tracey and her family looking after our pup 🐾 We met up a couple of times prior for Rosie to get to know the family and the house. Tracey, her husband Dave and their boys made us feel comfortable and reassured that we’d chosen the right family to look after Rosie for the week. We received daily updates and photos and it’s clear the family loved having Rosie around and they really made Rosie feel part of the family ❤️ I’m surprised she wanted to come home to us…!!! We’ll definitely use Rover and Tracey again and would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a loving family to care for their pet. The process was easy, smooth and went without a hitch. Tracey was great at communicating and replied immediately to our messages. It’s such a relief to know your pet is being looked after and loved while you’re away.”

“I’d like to thank Paul for taking such good care of our dog, Leo, while we were away on a long‑haul trip to Australia. We really appreciated the regular video updates, especially seeing Leo out on his long walks and clearly enjoying himself. It gave us real peace of mind knowing he was happy and well looked after.I would happily recommend Paul to anyone looking for an experienced, reliable, and caring person to look after their dog while they’re away.”

“Another amazing holiday for Zola! She has so much fun, loads of walks and cuddles whenever she stays with Susan and her family. The pictures and updates are brilliant too, thanks yet again!”

“Leo had the best time with Natalie. She kept us updated throughout and gave him lots of walks with Winston. Winston was a lovely dog and there were no issues at all. We will definitely use their services again!”

“5 stars. Amar was great. Provided photos and followed intructions. His home is near a park and ensured my dog got her walks. Pepsi is a nervous dog but loved him almost straight away which is rare. Will use again if the stars align.”

“Emily saved my bacon stepping up last minute to look after my 1 yr old dog. I felt immediately reassured by her efficiency and calm attitude to my dog mother panic. Emily kept me updated, and was incredibly helpful in messaging despite technological issues on my end. Cleo came home very content and happy. 100% recommend. Thanks Emily.”
About: I have taken care of a wide range of breeds from Border Collie to Whippet to Chihuahua. As you can imagine they have very different needs so I take pride in understanding what each dog needs. I have also looked after various other animals, including; cats/ rats/ hamsters/ rabbits for family, friends and clients. I currently study at Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, so am fully available on weekends or lunchtime/ evenings throughout the week! Out of term time I am fully available. I have a fenced and secure back garden with no other pets. I live less than a ten minute walk from Bute Park (dog central).
“Charlotte is very sincere about her passion for her love of dogs, I did not hesitate to leave my pets in her caring and competent hands. she is a bright, friendly and genuine person. my dogs were totally relaxed after a day or two,”
“Connor and Cherine were great. Clear communication and took the time to get to know the details before accepting to sit my pup. Their dog is also very friendly and I'm sure made a good companion for her stay.”

Cardiff pet owners share their Rover experiences
Second time that Ffion and Oli have looked after Waffle, this time for longer (5 nights). He clearly enjoyed his time with them and had lots of TLC. They sent me daily updates, and were very responsive and flexible, so once again it was a very positive experience for both me and Waffle.

I cannot fault Sev & Austin at all! Although the service is just a carer for my boy, It's a plus to see an extra face just so my baby can share out the love in him! I had very good communication from sev, updates every now and again as I requested (I didn't want to stress while he's away so this helped) Asked all the right questions as and when needed, he's got a unique personality and he is a bit of a unique breed so I definitely cannot fault you at all, some people see it as a bit of a challenge but it was a ball park as I still got on with my duties while he was away with no issues, I was happy seeing my boy spread his wings & live his best life surrounded by love and care which is exactly what I feel like I got! My boys exhausted now that he's back home but I can tell his hearts received a lot of warmth and joy over this weekend! Thank you guys there's nothing more I can ask for 🙏🏽

Danah was absolutely fantastic with Max. I booked last minute due to work commitments and I’m so happy I did. The communication throughout was fantastic and Danah kept me up to date as she could probs tell I was a little anxious leaving Max 😂. Danah took the time to get to know Max, and he seemed very happy and comfortable. I would 100% be rebooking for future boarding! Thank you Danah, absolute life saver! ♥️

Thank you again Mari and family for taking such good care of Daffy. She loves coming to visit you and it is such a relief to know that she's with you. Thank you also for the wonderful updates and photos showing us about her day. She will be coming back again very soon. I would highly recommend you to anyone. xxxxx

We had never had to leave Hector before and we knew he was nervous around new people. Anna and her husband were so incredibly lovely we felt completely at ease and their dog, Roux helped Hector settle quickly. We would have Hector stay with them again in a heartbeat. Thank you!

Joanne is a very very good dog-sitter. She texted us everyday to tell us how our dog was doing. She was well looked after and thoroughly entertained with walks and dogs to meet. I did not have a worry while she was with Joanne and we were gone over two weeks. I highly recommend her and i will use her again.
