“Daisy had a wonderful time in Sucheta’s home. She was well looked after, and Sucheta sent regular updates and pictures of how she was. I have no hesitation in recommending Sucheta, and Daisy will be staying with her again when I need a dog sitter. Thank you so much 🙂”
“We left our little Cavapoo with Mye and her lovely family for a trial night before a longer stay in September. After a bad experience with a previous dog sitter we were extremely nervous about leaving our little lad with anyone. We needn’t have worried. Mye look great care of our boy and stayed in contact the whole time he was with her. We received regular photos and communication and had complete peace at mind he was safe Thank you Mye”
“She was very nice and accommodating. She did communicate with me during my dog stay with her, sending me photos and message which assured me that my dog is looked after properly. Highly recommend her”
“Erin was very nice and helpful, and I’m very happy with the care Dolly received. My dog, Dolly, stayed with her for 5 days, and it was a good experience from start to finish. Erin kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. When I picked Dolly up, she looked very happy and relaxed. I’ll definitely be booking with Erin again.”
“I strongly recommend Jackson's services. He was particularly accommodating to look after my two pugs at short notice and was able to be flexible when it came to collection and pick-up. All throughout the dogs' stay he provided photos and updates to give me peace of mind that they were enjoying their stay. I will definitely be using his services again. First class A+++”
“Joshua was great with Toby. Toby came back home very relaxed, happy and clearly very well looked after. Communication was great I will happily book with Joshua again and would highly recommend him.”
“I cannot recommend Seren enough, she treated our dog like a member of her own family. She sent regular photos and messages keeping our minds completely at ease. Will definitely be using her services again.”
“Samantha had a genuine love for dogs and was happy to look after our two big canines. It was good that she had a fenced grassy garden that the dogs had access to all day and also she put lots of ice in their drinking water because it was a very hot day.”
“Margot had a great weekend, Brianna sent plenty of photos and kept me updated. I was nervous leaving Margot with a stranger for the first time, but those worries quickly left. She was very attentive when asking about walks etc, I would definitely have Brianna look after Margot again.”
About: My husband and I currently have an 11 year old cockerchon who is friendly with other dogs and with humans. We’ve previously had a bichon for 10 years prior to that. My husband and I are both retired and so have lots of time for dog walks. We have fields at the end of our cul-de-sac for local walks. We also regularly go to beaches and other parks around Cardiff. We have a safe enclosed rear garden which is dog friendly. We also have a dog flap for smaller breeds! We happy to take dogs that are friendly. We would want to meet your dog along with ours prior to confirming the first booking. We’re retired, so are able to be around for your pets and give them regular walks. We’re happy to feed them as per your instructions. We have a safe fenced garden which is dog friendly. We have experience in also looking after friend’s dogs. We’re happy to have dogs upstairs with us at night if this is what they’re used to. We’ll send you regular photos of your dog to put your mind at rest.
“Elly was super accommodating and agreed to look after our two dogs for the first time at short notice. She took great care of them, kept us updated with pictures while we were away and they came home super chilled and relaxed (which is unheard of!). Would definitely recommend Elly and plan to use her again.”
About: I have been surrounded by dogs my entire life and come from a big family of pet owners, making dog care second nature to me. I'm proud to be a truly safe pair of hands for dogs of all sizes, from large breeds to small toy dogs. Family and friends always trust me with their pups when they go on holiday, knowing they'll get a loving home environment. Plus, I live right by huge parks, so your dog will get plenty of fantastic walks, fresh air, and dedicated attention while you are away! I work weekdays from 8 am to 4 pm as a tax advisor, but your pup will rarely be alone! My partner works from home 2 to 3 days a week, providing excellent midweek availability and continuous company. On the weekends, I am fully free and readily available for dog walking and boarding services, even on short notice. Whether it's a structured midweek routine or a last-minute weekend stay, we can easily accommodate your pet's needs. We live in a wonderful flat that features a completely private, securely fenced garden. Because it can only be accessed directly through our back door, it provides a perfectly safe, controlled environment for your dog to explore and roam around freely without any outside interference. Our home is also situated right next to a massive park, making it absolutely ideal for long, fun daily walks. Your dog will enjoy a peaceful, secure home away from home with plenty of outdoor time!
About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats all my life. My 13 year old cat Izzie passed away last year and I haven’t been in a position to get another pet just yet. Please let me spend quality time with your babies as I am missing having a furry friend around. I live with my partner on a third floor flat. Although we have no garden, we are both very active and enjoy spending time outdoors. Our flat is calm, clean and a safe space for pets to feel comfortable. We would welcome pets on the furniture and the bed. We have cared for friend’s dogs and cats in our flat for several years. I work for the NHS Monday - Friday but work from home every Friday, with flexibility to do so some other days too. I work for the NHS Monday - Friday, working from home every Friday, with flexibility to do the same on other occasions throughout the week if needed. I finish work at 4.30pm so am home all evening. My weekends are fully flexible. I live in a third floor flat with my partner. We currently have no outdoor space but are both very active should your pet need regular exercise. We live a 2 minute walk from Roath Park!
“We were very fortunate to find Josephine at short notice. She treated Sally like she was her own; with love & kindness. Josephine sent us regular updates, which was very reassuring and very much appreciated. I would wholeheartedly recommend Josephine to anyone who is looking for a warm & lovely sitter for their dog and would be very happy to make a repeat booking 😊”
About: Hi, I'm Lauryn. I've always loved animals and feel most at home when I'm surrounded by nature. I grew up in Somerset with cats, rabbits and chickens, and I've had dogs for most of my adult life. These days I live in Cardiff, where I can enjoy everything from beaches and forests to mountains and countryside walks. I work remotely, which gives me a great deal of flexibility and allows me to provide reliable care for pets throughout the week. I spend most of my free time outdoors, so I can tailor my care to suit your pet's personality and needs. Whether your dog would love a long countryside hike, a beach walk, or simply some company and cuddles on the sofa, I'm happy to adapt to what makes them happiest. I have experience with a wide range of dog personalities. My previous dog was a rescue terrier who preferred her own space and wasn't particularly fond of other dogs or strangers, so I understand the importance of respecting boundaries and recognising when a dog needs a calm, quiet environment. Before any booking, I like to arrange a call or meet-and-greet so we can discuss your pet's routine, preferences, and any important dos and don'ts. I want to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable and well cared for. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting and overnight stays, and I'm happy to discuss longer bookings where needed. I have a full UK driving licence and my own car, so I can travel. I also have my own dog, Clover, a friendly Labrador cross who weighs around 20kg. She's well-trained, calm and very respectful of other dogs. If appropriate, she can accompany me on walks or house sits to provide some canine companionship; she's used to spending time with friends' and family members' dogs and is happy to play when invited, or give them space if they prefer to be left alone. I also care for cats and other small pets. For cat visits, I attend alone, as I believe your cat should feel relaxed and secure in their own environment without the disruption of another animal entering their space. Thanks for taking the time to read through, Lauryn I work remotely, Monday to Friday, which gives me a lot of flexibility and means I can plan my day around the needs of the pets I'm caring for rather than being away from home for long periods. I have my own dog, Clover, so my days already revolve around walks, feeding, training and playtime, we usually head out for at least 2/3 walks a day, with longer adventures at weekends exploring beaches, countryside trails and local parks. Throughout the week, I can provide walks, drop-in visits, and companionship, while evenings and weekends allow for longer walks, house-sitting, and overnight stays. When caring for pets in their own home, I aim to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I'll follow your instructions on feeding, walks, medication, sleeping arrangements and any house rules they are used to. Before any booking, I'll discuss your pet's routine, personality, triggers and preferences so I can provide care that is tailored to them. For dog walks, I only let dogs off lead where owners have confirmed it is appropriate and safe to do so. I am experienced with dogs who are nervous, reactive or prefer their own space. I have a full UK driving licence and my own car, allowing me to travel to different locations and access a variety of suitable walking routes. I always carry water on longer walks and adjust activities to suit the weather, age and fitness level of the dog. If Clover, my friendly Labrador cross, accompanies me on a walk or house sit, this will only be with the owner's agreement and if I believe the dogs are a good match. She is calm, well-socialised and respectful of other dogs' boundaries. For cat visits and small pet care, I focus on maintaining their normal routine, providing fresh food and water, cleaning where needed, and spending time with them in a way that suits their personality—whether that's playtime, affection or simply quiet company. If you are away I can keep you updated with pics and videos, as well as letting you know how they ate so you can be reassured while enjoying some you time
“The absolute best dog sitters you could ask for. Elle and Tom looked after Oggie on our wedding day last Saturday. We met before-hand and it was immediately clear they are 100% the biggest dog lovers and the right people for the job! They came and picked him up just after the ceremony on the day which helped out so much. Honestly they are both wonderful people who were fantastic with our big boy! 10/10 I would recommend any day. THANK YOU.”
“I would absolutely recommend Nina. Our spaniel Alf is a very nervous dog. When we went to collect him following his stay you could see how comfortable he was with Nina and her partner. Nina was also happy to give Alf his medication. I will definitely be booking Nina again for Alf.”
“Just picked up Barney from Emily and he is so chilled. He clearly had a wonderful time. Emily has been great. Right from the first contact she put Barney (and me) at ease with her calm manner. She sent some lovely pics during the weekend and her handover when we picked Barney up showed how attentive and caring she has been. We would definitely recommend her.”

I can’t praise Khalid highly enough for looking after my little puppy; he sent daily updates about their walks. It was a very last-minute booking, but he took him on without any problems. I’d highly recommend him because he knows how to handle a dog and how to keep him occupied.
Sevval and Austen took such good care of Sylvie while we were away and sent lots of updates which was great to see and took away any anxiety around leaving her. They made sylv part of the family for the weekend and she went on lots of lovely walks/ trips and outings! Really appreciate the level of care, thanks so much! :)
Denise was absolutely wonderful with Bobby! She took such great care of him, and he clearly loved his walks, his cooling mat and his cosy blanket. He was so happy and settled while he was there that my only worry was that he wouldn’t want to come home! 😂 Thank you so much, Denise, for looking after Bobby so well. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you and will definitely be booking with you again. 🐾❤️
Spike had the most WONDERFUL time on his holibobs! Communication with Georgia and her partner was fantastic with lots of pictures and videos. The kept in touch daily which was such a relief for us. Thank you SO MUCH for taking such good care of Spike. Will deffo be contacting in future for more bookings. Xx
Hazel and her husband were perfect dog boarders. They took our lurcher last minute, and were helpful and communicative throughout booking. I can honestly say it was an entirely positive experience: they cared for her impeccably and kept us updated on all her needs and activities. Most of all, they clearly love animals and that reflected in every interaction we had. I’ve received back a very happy, relaxed, well-cared-for dog. Unequivocal recommend.
We so appreciate Jack being able to care for our doggo. It was so reassuring to leave Hopper in his capable hands and he sent lots of updates over the week. I would highly recommend booking with him and we definitely will when we get the chance to again. Thanks so much 🥰
Jasmine was absolutely amazing with my dog Charlie. It was my first time I have left him alone in 13 years so you can only imagine my worry, but throughout Charlie’s stay with Jasmine I was sent regular photos of Charlie having a great time. Jasmine really treated Charlie like part of her family . If you’re looking for a loving home for your dog whilst you’re away Jasmine is the one to ask , you won’t be disappointed!
As we were picking up our baby boy, we were rebooking her at the same time. I think this explains how good she is! She kept us updated, gave Beren lots of cuddles, love and care! Honestly we feel like we’ve found our paw-partner! Beren loved her sooo much, even forgot about us when we were not with him haha. Thank you so so so much, we really appreciate you!
Willow sat for my Cockapoo Bodhi for the first time over the weekend and did a brilliant job. She was flexible and more than happy to spend a little time with Bodhi prior to get to know her, and then sit for her in my house. Great contact and communication throughout. Would deffo be happy to use Willow again.
Scott was great. Reliable, communicative and great with our bearded collie Daphne. Especially as she was a little nervous about being left alone, Scott was clearly a reassuring presence for her and made her feel at home! I can't fault him one bit and would absolutely consider him again whenever I'm in the Cardiff area.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
