House Sitting Merthyr Tydfil

“A big thank you to Curtis for an excellent service. Curtis was really flexible at short notice when we were let down by a friend a few days before a 10 day trip overseas. He came and did a meet and greet the day before we were due to leave, met our 2 dogs (one of which is very unsure of new people and can be a little challenging!) and then returned on our leave date to start the sit. Curtis is punctual, communicative and took lots of great pics whilst we were away. We came home to two happy dogs and an immaculate home where everything had been looked after. Our next trip is already booked and we hope to be return/ repeat customers going forward! With no family to help us with pet care, it’s been a genuine relief to find Rover and Curtis… “would highly recommend!””

“Alison dog sat for us for the day at very short notice. She made time before the day to come and meet me and my dog. She made sure she took notes on everything she needed to know and made me feel completely at ease. This is the first time using a sitter, Alison responded promptly to all messages, kept us updated throughout the day on how Frankie was doing. She treated Frankie like one of her own and he seemed very content and happy when we got back. Alison is a nice, easy going person and is easy to talk to. Would definitely recommend and will definitely use again for future sitting needs.”

“Simon & Caitlin looked after our 2 small dogs for a long weekend while we were attending a family event. This was the first time we had ever left the dogs behind so we were a bit anxious - until we met Simon & Caitlin. One of our dogs is very nervous but she took to them immediately as they are very relaxed and obviously used to dogs. They listened carefully to our care instructions which reassured me. The house was clean & tidy when they left and we received daily updates. Would recommend them for pet sitting and would definitely use them again.”

“Cody was amazing!! We have 3 cats and a large dog(GSP). This wasn’t a problem for Cody. She took him on plenty of walk and gave us lots of updates while we we on holiday to give us peace of mind. We came back to our house exactly how we left it. I can’t give her enough praise.”

About: I’m a qualified, force-free dog trainer at Biscuits Buddies Dog Training I have many years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds and personalities. I’m particularly experienced with nervous, anxious and sensitive dogs, as well as dogs who may need a little more patience and understanding. I’m confident reading canine body language and always work at the individual dog’s pace, using kind, reward-based methods. I also have experience with puppies, senior dogs, large breeds and dogs with additional behavioural or emotional needs. I understand that every dog is different, so I’ll always follow their usual routine as closely as possible and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and understood while in my care. Most importantly, I’ll treat your dog as an individual , not just another booking! 🐾 Pet care fits naturally around my day, and when your dog is with me they’ll enjoy plenty of attention, enrichment, toilet breaks and time to relax. Please note that this is not a 24-hour supervision service. Dogs under my care must be comfortable being left home alone for periods of up to 4 hours during the day, as I may need to leave the house for work, appointments or errands. I’ll always make sure your dog’s needs are met before I leave and that they have a safe, comfortable space to settle until I return. 🐾 Your dog’s safety and wellbeing will always come first. As a professional force-free dog trainer, I’m experienced in reading canine body language and recognising when a dog may be feeling worried, overwhelmed or simply needs some space. In my care, dogs are treated as part of the family and given a comfortable, calm environment with plenty of opportunity to rest. I’ll follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, medication and any individual care requirements. I only use kind, force-free handling and will never use punishment or aversive equipment. I also take introductions and interactions with other dogs carefully, rather than assuming every dog wants or needs to socialise. I want both you and your dog to feel completely comfortable, so I’m always happy to discuss their individual needs, quirks and routines before their stay. 🐾

About: I have had dogs all my life. I have had small and large dogs and experience of walking and caring. My dog Luna now is a great Dane and enjoy walking up mountains and to rivers. I have a good level of fitness so able to take dogs on similar walks if wanted. I work full time as a nurse but looking for enjoyment on my days off I currently work full time as a nurse. I do shift work so am able to dedicate time to something I really enjoy. I love being outdoors and have a good level of fitness. I have experience of looking after dogs and have my own dog since a puppy. She initially was a very nervous puppy but with patient she is a fab dog now who enjoys being out and with my children.

“Elizabeth was amazing, she was able to sit last minute due to a medical emergency. She arrived quickly, was able to take digger for a night time walk ( which he loved) she stayed over and walked him again on the second day ( over 3 hours which again he loved) and waited until we got home. Highly recommended 😍”

“This was the first time we have ever decided to leave our dogs for the day. Robyn came 4 days before the day we requested to meet the dogs. They took to her straight away. On the day, Robyn was on time and we went through everything with her. We got updates during the day on how they were doing. Robyn was fantastic with our dogs and put or minds at ease. She is very caring and loveable with our dogs.”

“Jenni had my little puppy Ziggy overnight in my home. Jenni kept us updated throughout the day with messages & photos of Ziggy. Everything that I set out for Ziggy including feeding / playing etc was followed by Jenni, we were very grateful that Jenni could help us out in such short notice. Very reliable, loving and friendly. Will definitely keep Jenni in mind for future visits, and would highly recommend her service! Thank you 🐶”

About: Our family have been around and owned dogs our entire lives. My husband and I have been looking after family and friends dogs together for nearly 5 years. We are newly established as a licensed home boarders taking 2 doggy guests at a time alongside our two neutered boys, and we want to offer as much flexibility and tailoring as possible for you and your pets comfort! I work from home weekdays so dogs have plenty of company! We can do walks at breakfast, lunch and dinner time, and weekends we can go for nice long and more adventurous walks (weather and dog dependant!) We have a large fenced back garden, half grass and half stone/slabs, and a smaller fenced front garden with grass and stone, the dogs can go anywhere in our home except my daughters room in case of teddy theft! We have a huge sofa so there is plenty of space for cwtches! We are pretty relaxed, flexible and happy to make accommodations to make sure all dogs are as happy as possible.

“Very professional and easy to build a relationship with. She was very patient with our anxious dogs and feel very confident about further sittings in the future.”

“Taylor was great with our anxious dachshund. Despite it being a short notice booking she prioritised a meet and greet a few days before the sit and it was clear to see how comfortable she is around animals. During the two night sit, Taylor updated us with messages and pictures. Dougie warmed up to her instantly and we were glad to see that he was so happy and content. She took excellent care of him, sticking to his schedule and routines. She also took great care of our home. We’ll definitely be booking with Taylor again!”

My calm, patient approach makes me especially suited to nervous, rescue, elderly and reactive pets.

“Geraint took fantastic care of my two dogs and home while I was away for an extended holiday. Everything ran perfectly which gave me total confidence to relax and enjoy my time away.”

About: I have a 5 year old labrador and I'm very used to walking him for 1 hour daily. I grew up with dogs and lived near a farm as a young child. I also had 2 pet persian house cats as well as budgie's and hamsters. I work full-time but this is agile, balancing office based with working from home. I am usually free during the evenings and on fridays as well as the weekends. But this can be flexible if i offer a boarding service as i can agile work. I have a fenced garden so everything is safe and enclosed, i also live on a quiet estate where the road is not busy. I like to spend time with the animals when they are in my company, as long as a blanket is on the sofa and bed they are welcome to lay on this.

“Brad had great communication from the first time I messaged him, he came ahead of the booking to meet Lola and saw the booking through as requested. He was nice and considerate the whole time and Lola loved him. She is strong and pulls on walks but Brad managed her well. We can home to a happy pup and cared for home. Will 100% book Brad again.”

“I cannot recommend Laura highly enough. Laura kept us both in the loop with how our pup was doing, from photos of her enjoying herself and messages reassuring us she was behaving and happy. Laura responded quickly and offered to do a meet and greet before hand. Laura really was fantastic and our little girl loved every minute spent with her. We can now book holidays knowing our dog is in safe hands. I would not hesitate to recommend Laura”

“Hiruth was great and helped us out to look after Scout and Apollo really well. They both had a great time and it was a much better alternative to using kennels which Scout in particular does not enjoy.”

About: I absolutely adore all animals! I am patient, kind and caring. I would love to take care, walk and feed your fur babies for you when needed. I have welcomed quite a few pets into my home over the past year now and I know some great spots for dog walks! I teach swimming lessons Monday to Wednesday from 1pm-7:30pm and then work from home Thursday to Friday and have the weekends free for nice long walks I live in a 2 bedroom flat which is quite spacious, I have a large fenced off garden and I have some lovely dog walks near by. I would require their dog bowls/food & a doggy bed. I can provide the rest. I can provide regular potty breaks as I am home most of the time.

About: Animal lover , experienced and happy to spoil your pup!

I’ve been dog and cat sitting for around 3 years and absolutely love having dogs around! I’m friendly, caring and treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel happy, safe and settled while you’re away.
I offer home visits, dog walking, home boarding and can also stay at your home if you prefer. I'm experienced in looking after smaller and larger dogs as well as puppies and older dogs with health issues. I'm also experienced with dogs who may be a bit more scared and unsure than others or who need to stay on the lead. I'm also able to give oral medication if required. 
I’m always happy to stick to your pets usual routine, whether that means early morning walks for dogs, regular toilet breaks, meals at specific times or plenty of naps throughout the day. I’m also completely happy for pets to sleep on the bed or sofa if that’s what they’re used to and I want them to feel as comfortable as possible!

I live in a two bedroomed house which is quiet, with no children or pets. My home has a secure outdoor area and is surrounded by lots of green space for long walks . Happy to look after pets at my own home, I am also happy to travel and stay at your home as I work from home. 

I have 3 years experience of having dogs to stay at my home and have also looked after many cats and dogs at their own homes in south wales and London. 
For dogs, walks can be tailored to whatever they need, from gentle strolls to longer walks, maybe even a run if that's something they love and there’s always plenty of time for playing, endless ball throwing, cuddles and attention. 

I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust and how scary it can also be so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages while they’re with me. I'm also more than happy to come and meet your pets to introduce myself and go through any questions you have. 

Your pets will get lots of love, attention and plenty of fuss while you’re away! I currently work from home so Im able to stay with your pets all day if needed. Walks can be offered in the morning, evening or lunch time as well as regular toilet breaks throughout the day I have a secure patio area and I’m also surrounded by green space including parks for long walks in the countryside. I have also looked after dogs and cats in other peoples homes within south wales and London over the past few years. I’m happy to do odd jobs around the house whilst you are away as well if required
