“Ngan did a great job. My cat was clearly looked after well and was happy upon my return. The home was also well maintained and tidy as I left it. Great communication and photo updates each day. Certainly recommended for anyone needing a cat sitter.”


About: I’ve grown up in a Welsh speaking family that has always had dogs and cats, so animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve regularly looked after dogs for family and friends and absolutely love having their company around the home. Over the years, I’ve had experience looking after dogs of all different ages, personalities and needs. I’ve cared for senior dogs and have experience giving medication, including looking after a dog with severe allergies who needed oral medication. I’ve also looked after an anxious Dachshund who needed a little extra patience and reassurance, especially when out on walks. I really enjoy getting to know a dog’s individual personality and making sure they feel safe, happy and comfortable in my care. Our family Cocker Spaniel has also taught me a lot about caring for dogs with more complex needs. He’s had quite a challenging start to life, including a blood transfusion and hip replacement at just three years old, and he now has arthritis. Because of this, I’m very aware of the importance of keeping him calm, managing his activity and making sure he doesn’t get too excited and accidentally injure himself. He also has some resource-guarding behaviours, partly due to his medication and the fact that his food needs to be carefully managed. This has taught me to be patient, stay calm and understand the reasons behind a dog’s behaviour, while also setting kind but clear boundaries. For me, looking after a dog is about much more than just feeding them and taking them for walks. I want them to feel comfortable, cared for and at home while they’re with me. I understand that every dog is different, and I’m more than happy to give them the patience, attention and extra care they need. Most importantly, I’ll treat every dog as if they were my own. 🐾 As I work from home, I’m around throughout the day to give dogs regular attention, toilet breaks, playtime and companionship. I always follow each dog’s usual routine, feeding instructions and individual needs, and I make sure they are supervised and cared for throughout their stay. I’ll also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while they’re away. Live a short walk away from Roath lake and Maindy Velodrome to go for lovely walks. I provide a safe, calm and comfortable home environment where dogs can feel relaxed and part of the family. I have a private garden where they can enjoy some fresh air and outdoor time, as well as plenty of space indoors to settle and rest.
“Lisa is a great cat sitter, she kept me up to date with pictures and things my cats had been getting up to plus what she found entertaining which was really nice. She a kind caring person I will definitely be using her again. Thank you so much from Speedy, Luna & Pluto. ”

About: I have previously worked with pet training specialists and can provide my own knowledge of how to care for your pets behaviours. I also have experience in dog resuscitation, for emergencies and can look after dogs with special needs/medical illnesses/requirements. I am currently using rover and other pet care websites as my full time job. This means I am available all day every day, at any time to take care of your pets! I will look after the pets as if they were my own. I understand boundaries and respect within someone’s home. I’m here to give you a trustworthy place to leave your animals. Any requirements you have for your home or loved pets, can be done. Usually when doing these jobs I bring my husband along, just for safety reasons and to also help out on demanding jobs. If you’re not okay with that, let me know and we can work around it!
“Ophelia is a lovely lady, having her look after are beloved cats made our trip enjoyable knowing that our fur babies were looked after very well. Would definitely book her again with confidence knowing that she cares and genuinely loves animals ☺️”

“Bianca kept me updated daily on how Molly and Flo were, 2 cats with very different personalities. She looked after them well. I would definately recommend her will be asking her to look after Molly and Flo in the future.”


About: I grew up in a very furry household: 6 dogs, 10 cats, plus years of horse riding camps - animals were basically part of everyday life for me. Since moving to Cardiff, I haven’t been able to have as many animals around me, and I genuinely miss it! Looking after pets takes me straight back to those happy, chaotic, furry years. For the last two years I’ve also looked after friends’ dogs and cats, taking them for walks, feeding them, playing with them, keeping them company and giving medication when needed. I’d love to do much more pet sitting, which is exactly why I’m here. I’m patient, affectionate and easy-going with animals, and happy to follow their usual routine. I love walking, so energetic dogs and I tend to get on very well - and I seem to have a natural way with cats too, even the shy or tricky ones often warm up to me quickly! 🐈 My schedule is flexible and I work mostly from home, so I can usually fit pet care around my day quite easily. I’m available weekdays and sometimes weekends, mornings, afternoons and evenings, and I’m happy to help with last-minute bookings too. I have a car and can travel around 10 minutes from Pontcanna/Canton. I’ll always follow your pet’s usual routine and any instructions you leave - every animal is different. I’m very aware of my surroundings, especially out on walks, and good at reading animals and adapting to what they need. I’m there for them, not the other way around. I’m also very respectful of people’s homes and happy to help with little things like plants, post, basic tidying up or anything else that needs looking after while you’re away - and of course send plenty of furry updates! ☺️
“Mireia was so lovely with our dog when we needed somebody, last minute, for a home visit and walk. It was clear to see that Mireia loves animals and our dog was comfortable in her presence straight away. We instantly felt at ease knowing she would be well looked after. Highly recommend - thanks so much!”

About: I’ve had a deep bond with dogs since childhood. I grew up with a German Shepherd who was part of our family for 12 wonderful years. I always enjoyed our walks, playtime, and cuddles she truly shaped my love and understanding of dogs. After she passed, I continued caring for dogs by helping my cousin at her dog hotel, where I regularly walked and cared for her five Huskies and other boarding dogs. These experiences taught me how to handle various breeds, energy levels, and temperaments. Now, I have a rescue dog from Oman who has been with me for almost two years. When I adopted him, he struggled with severe anxiety and fear of going outside. With patience, structure, and positive reinforcement, he’s made incredible progress. This journey has given me valuable experience in working with dogs who have experienced trauma or display challenging behaviors. While I didn’t pursue my childhood dream of becoming a vet, my passion for dogs and animals has remained strong. I believe animals, especially dogs, are among the purest souls in the world—and I treat every dog in my care with love, patience, and respect. I am currently out of work so I am available mostly at any time except Mondays and Thursdays between 6-9 pm but I’m available any other time I always follow the owner’s instructions, every dog is different and has different needs. I always pay attention to my surroundings and make sure the dog is close to me.
About: I lived with dogs (labs and spaniels) for most of my childhood and was always taught how to train them, how to walk them, and the other essentials of pet care. I currently work from home and have a flexible work pattern so can regularly take pups for toilet breaks/walks. I regularly go on long walks when I can. All I need now is a dog to take with me! Dogs will be given as much or as little attention as needed during the day, able to roam as they please. I’m happy to talk to owners about any specific requirements and I’ll see what I can do!

About: I have taken care of pets since I was around 6 years old. I have two dogs and a cat, one of the dogs we adopted as a puppy, so I have lots of experience with that. I also have experience taking care of older babies as my dog who sadly just passed away was almost 19. So I have an huge heart for taking care of all ages . It is my third year at University and as an international student who rarely gets to go home, I am definitely missing the companionship! I love animals to my core and would do anything for them. My family is 100% the family that was constantly finding stray and injured animals and rescuing them/taking them to shelters. In fact I can remember about 5 birds, a few bunnies, at least 10 cats, and one dog that we rescued/took in until finding a permanent home. It is a source of joy for me and I hope I can help take some stress out of your day to know that your pet is being well taken care of :) I am a university student so I definitely have weekends free. During the week I have Tuesdays completely open. Mondays before 3, Wednesday after 12, Thursday after 11, and Fridays after 2 pm. I have a fenced in garden, as well as close vicinity to parks. If caring for the pet in your home I am extremely careful and cautious and I would never want to invade privacy or cross boundaries! I am there to look after your pet and enjoy my time with them :)

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and absolutely love them! I’ve looked after friends’ and family’s dogs many times and always love spending time with them (and never want to leave because they’re just too cute!). I love going for walks and am happy to care for dogs of all sizes, breeds and needs. I’m currently studying at uni so have plenty of time to take care of your dog. I am also really active so love going on walks! I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your dog with someone. I’ll make sure to keep you updated while you’re away and give your dog gets plenty of care, attention and affection!
“Nikki was great, we had to book very last minute and that wasn't a problem at all. Nikki was very good at communicating, keeping us informed about our cat and sent us a picture during her visit which we really appreciate. We will definitely be in touch for future visits 👌”

About: I have a 7 year old brown Labrador/ Hungarian Viszla I have looked after since he was 8 weeks that I have helped train and take on walks. I have experience with nervous dogs, walking dogs on and off lead and dog training. I have experience walking different breeds and dog sizes. I am studying for a PhD and therefore have flexible hours of when I can walk and look after dogs. I love animals and pets and understand the individual needs of different dogs. I am quite an energetic person meaning i can engage in games with the dogs and make sure they get enough exercise during their walks. My own dog always comes back from his walks happy and in need of a long nap! I am currently working as a PhD researcher with flexible hours, meaning that my availability is pretty open. Contact me to see if we can arrange something that works for both of us! I have experience walking both big and small dog breeds, anxious and sociable dogs. I am respectful of peoples homes and would make sure to give dogs the attention they desire.

About: I work from home in Pontcanna, Cardiff in a flexible working environment, after just losing my own dog I’m looking to spend some time with some furry friends before we’re ready to own our own again 💓 I am active and enjoy long walks (especially to get away from the desk) and available to pet sit overnight or for a few hours. I am able to travel via car also to fun areas to walk for the dogs, even getting muddy and wet! Happy to arrange meets prior to bookings so you can get to know me :) I love all pets but have most experience with dogs of all sizes. I have had a dog my whole life, I have recently lost a 13 year old dog of my own who I cared for. Before that, I grew up with a Labrador where my love of big lovey dogs started. I frequently dog sit for family who have an elderly dog needing medications so in-depth experience with this. Also dog sit for a friend with two hyper labs (one puppy) and love playing with these too! I enjoy their energy, and helping to dispel it with games and walks. I work from home in a flexible environment so available for morning, lunch or evening walking or check ins :) I can also drive to locations for ease! I had experience walking all sizes of dogs! I have administered medicines to elderly dogs, cared for dogs with food allergies and ensured a safe environment.
About: Dogs have been part of my family since I was born. Raised on a small holding, I have experience with dogs, cats, geese, ducks and horses and various rodents. I’m a freelancer with a variable and flexible schedule. Weekends are usually free and most weekdays. I’m a very amiable person and love spending time outdoors. I have a private garden and pet-safe living room. Plenty of dog friendly walks nearby. I can provide fully supervised dog sitting - as in I can always be watching your little one.

About: Growing up, I had a dog who I helped care for from a puppy all the way into adulthood, so I know how much love, patience, and attention pets need at every stage of life. Now I have my cat, Oscar, who I’ve raised from a tiny kitten into a very handsome (and very spoiled!) boy. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets while you’re away, and I’d treat yours with the same care and affection I give my own. I have a flexible schedule and work from home, which means I can often adjust my day to fit your pet’s routine. Whether your pet needs company during the day, regular walks, feeding, or check-ins, I’m happy to work with you to provide the care they need. I always do my best to stick to their normal routine so they feel comfortable and relaxed. I’ll make sure they’re fed on time, have fresh water, get plenty of playtime, walks, and lots of attention. I’ll also keep your home tidy, clean up after your pet, and treat your space with the same respect I would my own.

This was my first time using the app and Claire was excellent. She came around to meet my cats beforehand and learn all about their habits. Unfortunately my cats are wary of strangers, so she didn't see Tia the whole week, which didn't surprise me! Claire provided detailed updates and I would definitely use her again.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I honestly cannot recommend Lisa highly enough! She looked after my cats while I was away on holiday, visiting my flat every other day for the whole week, and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to take care of them. From the moment I arranged everything with Lisa, she was absolutely lovely, reliable and reassuring. Leaving your pets behind when you go away can be such a worry, especially when they’re your babies, but Lisa completely put my mind at ease. I knew they were in safe hands and being properly looked after while I was away. Lisa was fantastic at keeping me updated and making sure everything was okay. She was caring, trustworthy and clearly genuinely loves animals, rather than it just being a job to her. Knowing she was going into my home, checking on my cats and making sure they were happy, fed and comfortable gave me such peace of mind throughout my holiday. She went above and beyond what I expected, and im sure I’ll be coming home to happy, well-cared-for cats and everything exactly as I had left it. It’s such a relief to find someone you can completely trust with both your pets and your home, and I feel incredibly lucky to have found Lisa. I would 1000% recommend Lisa to absolutely anyone looking for someone to care for their pets. She is kind, dependable, caring, trustworthy and genuinely amazing at what she does. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to use her again, and I will definitely be contacting her the next time I go away. Thank you so much, Lisa, for taking such good care of my babies and giving me one less thing to worry about while I was away. You were absolutely amazing, and I couldn’t be happier with the care you gave them. 🥰🐾❤️ 5 stars really don’t feel like enough! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Christy was an absolute star with our Mr Blue Cat. Updating us while we were away, giving him loads of care and love and sending us lovely photos. Christy even brought our bins in, watered our plants and tidied up Blue's messy litter toilet stones! When we got home Blue was sooo happy and relaxed. We felt so safe having Christy look after him, we highly recommend her and her skills and we will definitely be asking her back again! Thank you so much again for all your help, Christy. Jessie, David and Mr Blue xxx

We're so happy to have found Molly to visit our cat when we go away. She is happy to pop in, change litter and even had the tricky task of administering last minute eye drops when our cat developed an eye ulcer. Nothing is too much trouble and I would recommend her every time. Thanks again Molly xx

Alicia has been amazing with Skye. She is reliable, responds quickly to messages, and has been so patient with my anxious dog. She really takes the time to make Skye feel comfortable and doesn’t just pop in and leave, she spends quality time playing with her and giving her lots of attention. It gives me real peace of mind knowing Skye is safe, happy and well cared for whenever I’m not there. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Alicia to anyone looking for someone who genuinely cares about their pet. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Saba went above and beyond to look after my dog (Cuban) for 4 days, she came twice a day no issues at all, I was given constant updates and sent regular photos, I was always rest assured he was well looked after, Cuban enjoyed his long walks and really took to Saba, I would definitely recommend and 100% use Saba’s services again in the future ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Depending on the sitter’s schedule, you may be able to arrange a one-off visit or recurring care on selected days of the week. Confirm the visit timing and frequency before booking, as availability and service areas vary by sitter.
You can book overnight boarding with a local sitter on Rover, where your pet stays in the sitter’s home while you're away. If your pet is more comfortable staying at home, house sitting or scheduled drop-in visits might be a better fit.
Consider how much company and supervision your pet needs, how they respond to unfamiliar homes, and how long you'll be away. Review each sitter’s profile and arrange a Meet & Greet before booking.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who've never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover, but you're welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you've previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you're booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you'll have a chance to go 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. A Meet & Greet is a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
