About: My name is Sarah I am a lover of animals and have a cat who is 9 years old. I’m based in Tonypandy. I give your furry friends the attention they need by making sure they are fed, have fresh water, and have a comfortable environment in their own home while you’re away. I am able to administer oral medication. I cover the Rhondda Cynon Taff area. I do not offer boarding services I visit your pets in their homes where they would feel more comfortable with their surroundings. I am flexible with dates and times when needed. If you have any questions or would like to arrange a meet and greet please feel free to contact me. I can visit your pets mornings and afternoon/evenings. If there are any visits or other requirements that are needed to ensure that your pet is comfortable and happy while you’re away please feel free to communicate this in a message or at a meet and greet. I do not board pets. I offer services that require me to visit them in their own homes where they’ll be more comfortable in familiar surroundings.

“Juliet stepped in at the last minute to cover our 2 week holiday. She was fantastic with our rescue dog Ralph and was able to easily adapt to him and his quirks. She is knowledgeable about dogs and dog behaviour and this showed in the care she provided. She gave daily updates and pictures which reassured us a lot. We came home to a beautifully clean home and a very happy dog. Could not recommend Juliet enough to take care of your pet ☺️.”

“Simon and Caitlin were great sitters. They were very interested in our needs in our intro call and then cared for our Springer Spaniel incredibly well for a week, providing her with lots of stimulation and walks. We found a very happy dog on our return and our house was left in immaculate condition. I would recommend them to anyone.”

“Rebecca house sat for us when we went away for the weekend, looking after our 2 dogs and 2 cats. She is very responsive and friendly. We came home to a super clean house and very happy animals. She provides an excellent service and will be our go to sitter in the future. Would definitely recommend.”

About: Animals have been an integral part of my life since I was a small child. From our family dogs to my great grandfather’s horses, I have long had a love of animals and since I was old enough to do so, have helped in their care. After leaving home, my partner and I became parents to three cats, two of whom we were given by our neighbour who could no longer look after them. I know that we would do anything to care for our pets, which is why you can rely on me to give them the responsible, loving care they deserve. I am currently considering a career change and would like to do something I love in the meantime, which means I am available to look after your pups and kittens at anytime! I cannot offer to look after your pets in my home - my cats simply would not allow it. However, I will look after your pets in whatever way you would like; I am adaptable to your care arrangements.
About: Animals have always been a presence in my life, whether through family, friends or neighbours, where growing up as a kid who always loved to play outside, dog-walking and visiting all the local cats played a massive part in my childhood. While I don’t have direct experience, it was always a delight to participate in the care of people’s most beloved pets. My strongest attribute is my ability to be active and get your pet the exercise, care and attention they’ll need. As a freshly graduated University student, I have a period of intermission as I decide on my next steps. Alongside part-time work in the evenings, I hope to take on pet care as a means to stay active, interact with the community and do something I enjoy as a little extra income. I feel it is my obligation to keep the pet company, abide by the instructions for me to keep your pet happy and engaged and ensure security and safety is maintained.
About: I have grown up owning dogs, fish, ferrets, guinea pigs, hamster's and cats. My nursing career has helped me develop the qualities that are also important in excellent pet care: patience, responsibility, attentiveness, and compassion. I carefully manage my availability and only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to, so when your pet is in my care, you can feel confident that they will receive the time, attention, and care they deserve. I’m reliable and organised and will always make sure I have plenty of time to give your pet the care, attention and companionship they need. As a registered nurse I’m responsible, caring and used to putting wellbeing and safety first. I’ll bring the same level of care and attention to looking after your pet. I understand the importance of following routines, instructions and individual needs, and I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. Due to the nature of my profession I am DBS checked.
About: Dogs have always been apart of my life, Currently have a 17 month Spaniel/daschund mix male who is loving and super friendly to all dogs. Love training and playing with dogs as well as nice walks outdoors in all weather. Can care for senior dogs too. I'm free 24/7 for the next 2-4 months until I am back in work. Once back in work I will still be available most days and weekends. This includes early and late night walks if needed. I have a fenced in garden/courtyard that is dog safe. I have my 17 months Spaniel who is trained and friendly to other dogs to keep your dogs company. Our house is puppy proofed and remains that way just for safety with our own dog.

“My 2 girls absolutely adore Nat, and so do I. I received multiple photos and updates throughout the day, each time the girls seemed so happy! When I returned home, I didn't have any anxious behaviours to deal with, just 2 happy dogs. Cannot recommend Nat highly enough! Thank you!”

Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I love spending time outdoors with furry friends.

“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!”

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.

“Thank you for the understanding and unorthodox arrangement regarding the booking due to my health. I sincerely appreciate your patience and rest assured everything is sorted. One other thing can I ask. If you can possibly get felix to cat protection home for life he does have a place and they'll do the rest. Many thanks for all your help xx”

About: Personally I was never allowed a dog when I was a child, I have previously owned different pets including rabbits, guinea pigs and fish. This just increased my want of a dog, so my first and longest job I have had was a professional dog walker and throughout the years I have looked after many different dogs. I am currently a student at the University of South Wales and with a minimal social life I am currently widely available for any services. I have previously walked and cared for dogs of all different sizes and shapes. I have also had to adapt to different medical and dietary requirements.
About: Nijo & Jenny Animals have always been a big part of my life. I grew up in a home with multiple dogs and cats and have cared for pets for many years. Over time, I have looked after and cared for dogs ranging from small breeds to large breeds, each with their own unique personalities, needs and routines. As a Merchant Navy Officer, I have 2 mo tha rotation, where I am onboard for 2-3 and at home on leave for 2-3 months. During my leave periods, I am home full-time for up to two months at a stretch, allowing me to provide plenty of companionship, exercise and supervision. My wife and I are both passionate animal lovers and regularly help friends with their dogs. Due to my work pattern we are unable to get a dog ourselves currently but we try to compensate that by lending a hand to our friends with pets. We understand that every pet is different, and we strive to provide a safe, loving and stress-free home away from home where pets are treated as part of the family. We ourselves use rover when we go for vacations and understand the situation, we strive to create a second home for your furry friends and would be part of our family. When I am on leave from work, I am available at home full-time and can dedicate my attention to your pet throughout the day. This allows me to maintain their usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, rest periods and plenty of companionship. I enjoy spending time outdoors and regularly visit local walking areas such as Brynna Woods and Smilog Woods. Depending on your dog's preferences and energy levels, I can also provide longer walks, park visits and beach outings. I only accept one household's dog at a time, ensuring your pet receives individual attention and a calm environment. Your pet's safety and wellbeing are my highest priorities. My wife and I live in a spacious home with a secure fenced back garden, providing a safe environment for dogs to relax, play and explore. We also share our home with our friendly domestic shorthair cat, Simba, who is comfortable around dogs that respect her space. Before every booking, I take time to understand your pet's routine, preferences, dietary requirements and any special instructions. My wife is a medical doctor and is happy to assist with routine medications if required, providing additional reassurance for owners whose pets may need ongoing treatment during their stay. I only accept one household's dog at a time, ensuring your pet receives individual attention, plenty of supervision and a calm environment. I will also provide regular photo and video updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, comfortable and well cared for.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Rhondda Cynon Taf walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page .
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Rhondda Cynon Taf choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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.
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.
