House Sitting in Powys

“Dariia is a lovely pet and house sitter who went above and beyond to care for our animals and home. All the pets were so happy and content when we arrived home after being away for the weekend. It was easy to see they had been very well looked after! And our home was left spotless… she even watered the garden which was such a thoughtful thing to do. Definitely recommend and would happily book again. 🩵☺️”

“Paul house sat and cared for our golden retriever for a week and we can't recommend him highly enough. He bonded with Willow immediately and she clearly had a great time whilst we were away to the extent that she hardly welcomed us on our return! All communications with him were excellent and he sent us daily pictures and videos so we could see what fun she was having! Paul clearly loves dogs and his calm manner was exactly what Willow needed. He also left the house spotlessly clean and tidy. We've definitely found Willow's new best friend and have already booked him for future trips.”

About: Wherever I am, there’s usually a dog in my company. Preferably, several. They make life better! Adopting dogs has made my life better by allowing me to fully appreciate the joy of canine company. I’ve been a dog parent for over nine years, during which time I’ve looked after other lots of dogs - from dachshunds to jack russells, cockapoos and corgis. My own dogs are well socialised, and dog sitting is a good way to have fun getting to know new breeds and personalities! I’m a writer and illustrator, which gives me the flexibility to welcome dogs into my home and take lunchtime walks and breaks according to what the dogs need. My boyfriend Richard also works at home around twice per week. We live within walking distance of Thompson’s and Bute parks in Cardiff, as well as Leckwith and Sanitorium Park so any dog guests in my care will be taken on trips to some of these, as well as beach visits if they're staying for longer. Dinas Powys woods is another favourite walking spot during Spring and Summer. My phone camera is full of dog photography, I'll be happy to try to get some good snaps of your dog too. They’ll be welcomed as part of the family during their stay, and looked after with the same high level of care, attention, exercise and hugs as if they were my own. My day job allows me the time and flexibility for breaks and play, plus I'm happy to fit longer walks into my evenings depending on your dog’s needs. I have a walled garden which is completely secure for small to medium dogs. My dogs plus any guests tend to sleep in my home office during the day, and the living room during the evening. I am used to ensuring my own dogs are safe and secure, with harnesses, leads, and collars that carry their information.

“Andy has been a brilliant pet and house sitter for my energetic but lovable GWP. As he has had multiple past owners I wanted to make sure my dog was well cared for in his home environment. I met Andy a couple of times before two week holiday. He was personable, knowledgeable and very dog focussed, so Rumble loved the attention from Andy immediately. We had an early start so Andy came early and we had an easy handover. I got daily updates and messages from Andy and it was clear that he was spending a lot of time and energy keeping Rumble entertained and happy. This made it easier for me to enjoy my holiday without any worry. Andy was an excellent house guest and left my home in an immaculate condition. He is kind and caring and clearly has an affinity for all dogs and can easily cope with an energetic dog that needs lots of cuddles and stimulation on walks and in the garden. I am grateful I found Andy and hope he is available for future bookings. Many thanks Josephine”
