Evie took great care of our little dog Chewy. She sent me a lovely update on how it went. We came home to a happy and relaxed dog. We will definitely ask Evie to look after Chewy again.

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the level of care, patience, and attention I give to every pet as if they were my own. I have experience with puppies, including basic training reinforcement (potty training, leash manners, crate routines), and I understand how important consistency is for young dogs. I’m also comfortable providing senior pet care, including administering medications, supporting mobility needs, and giving extra love and calm attention. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and routine, making sure they feel safe, happy, and stress-free while you’re away. I’m reliable, communicative, and always keep owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. Whether your pet needs high energy playtime, gentle care, or structured routines, I tailor my care to fit their needs. I’m a full time student so I’ll have a lot of time to take care of your pets. My schedule is very flexible so I’ll be able to accommodate to your schedule. Pop me a message for a free meet and greet :) I'm dependable and respectful of pet owners specifications for care, and their property. I treat every pet with the compassion, attention and care that they deserve.

About: Owner of multiple cats all my life, of all ages, medical requirements and behavioural needs. Also have experience owning small animals, bearded dragons and aquatics so happy to care for these also. Have some experience dog sitting/walking also. Working full time but have some days off in the week. I drive so more than happy to care for your pet after work and/or on days off if needed. I would sit your pet in your home and would maintain the utmost respect for your property and your pets environment. Have experience sitting a friends cat in their home previously, as well as a family friends dog, and enjoyed sending them pictures and videos to keep them in the loop with the care of their cherished pet as well as prioritising a continuation of their existing routine to cause the least distruption possible 💖🐾

About: I enjoy being outdoors and regularly explore the beautiful beaches of Swansea - perfect for keeping your dog happy, active, and engaged. I’d love to meet your dog and give them the best possible time while you’re away. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages - from cheeky, energetic puppies to senior dogs who need regular medical care and a gentler pace. I’m comfortable with all sizes and breeds, having looked after everything from miniature schnauzers and chihuahuas to retrievers and german shepherds. I live alone with my own dog, Serpico - a friendly 3 year old lurcher cross, who loves playing and socialising with other dogs - so your doggo will always have great company. We follow a consistent routine with morning and evening walks, including time for off-leash runs, but I’m always happy to adapt to suit your dog’s individual needs. As a dog owner myself, I completely understand how it feels to leave your pet in someone else’s care. That’s why I’ll always provide regular updates and photos, so you can feel reassured and relaxed while you’re away. I currently work from home on Mondays and Fridays and will only offer boarding on these days as well as weekends. Which means I have plenty of time to dedicate to your doggo. I usually go for a morning walk with my doggo at either the beach or park, providing space for a good run around. Followed up with a chilled evening walk to wind down. We’re happy to change up our schedule to meet your dog’s needs. I have a fenced garden and a dog of my own, who will act as a sociable playmate. I would love to meet up with you and your dog before boarding to make sure a connection is made with your doggo and that they feel comfortable staying at our home.

About: Animals have always been at the center of my life — both dogs and cats are family to me, not just pets. Caring for them isn’t something I switch off from; it’s simply who I am. Every time I go on holiday, I make sure I’m prepared — I’ve even carried a 6kg bag of animal food in my rucksack while hiking up mountains, just to ensure animals are fed and cared for (with photos to prove it). I share my life with my own cat and understand feline behavior deeply, from quiet communication to respecting boundaries. I’ve trained my cat using positive reinforcement, including recall, sit, paw, high five, and spin. I also have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels, always with patience, structure, and love. I currently volunteer at Llys Nini Cattery, where I’m surrounded by cats daily and care for a wide range of personalities — from shy and nervous to confident and playful. Every animal I look after receives the same devotion, respect, and attention I give my own. Special Skills • 🐾 Experienced with both dogs and cats • 🧠 Strong understanding of animal body language & behavior • 🐕 Excellent recall and basic training support • 🐈 Positive-reinforcement training for cats and dogs • 💖 Especially good with anxious, shy, or rescue animals • 🧘 Calm, reassuring presence that helps animals feel safe • 💊 Comfortable with basic medication administration • 🧼 Attentive to routine, hygiene, and enrichment • 📸 Regular updates and photos for peace of mind Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I currently volunteer at Llys Nini and am not working, as I’m focusing on pursuing my passion for animal care. This gives me a very flexible schedule, allowing me to provide attentive, unrushed care and adapt fully to each pet’s needs. I care for pets both at my home and at the owner’s house, depending on what works best for them. My home has a large, fully walled garden, giving dogs plenty of space to run, play, and explore safely. I provide structured walks, playtime, and mental stimulation, as well as a calm environment for pets to relax. At an owner’s home, I follow their routines closely — feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special needs or medications — to ensure pets feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I also make sure pets have plenty of attention, affection, and supervision, whether inside or outside, and I always keep their space clean, safe, and enriched so they feel happy, secure, and loved.

About: What sets me apart is my seven years of hands-on experience working with dogs and my commitment to providing personalised, reliable care. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to build trust and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies who need patience, consistency, and help reinforcing basic training, to senior dogs who benefit from a gentler pace, extra attention, and attentive care. I’m also confident following detailed care instructions, including feeding schedules, administering oral medication if required, and adapting walks and activities to suit each dog’s energy level and individual needs. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when leaving your pet with someone else, so I always provide dependable care, regular updates, and photos so you can see how they’re getting on. My goal is to make every pet feel loved and cared for, just as they would be at home. Although I work during the day, pet care fits well into my routine. I’m available for evenings, weekends, and selected weekdays, and I make sure every pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve. With seven years of experience working with dogs, I’m reliable, organised, and committed to keeping pets happy and comfortable. When caring for pets in their own home, I stick closely to their usual routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions, make sure they have plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship, and always treat both your pet and your home with the utmost respect. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I’m a recently qualified veterinarian with a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Animal Management, where I studied key areas such as animal nutrition, training, and behaviour. I have extensive experience caring for a wide range of domestic animals, both personally and professionally. My own pets have included fish, budgies, cats, dogs, and I currently share my home with a corn snake and a cat. I’m confident handling all types of dogs and cats from energetic puppies to senior companions and have experience with large breeds such as Akitas as well as smaller breeds through family and friends. In addition to dogs and cats, I’m comfortable caring for small furries (rabbits, rodents) and reptiles. My background and training ensure that every animal I look after receives attentive, compassionate, and knowledgeable care. As I’m currently between jobs, I have lots of time and attention to devote to your furry friends, ensuring they get all the care and companionship they deserve while you’re away. When caring for pets in their own home, my top priorities are safety, comfort, and routine. I always take the time to learn each pet’s individual needs, daily schedule, and any special instructions you have to ensure continuity of care. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care as I would my own- keeping things tidy, following your guidelines closely, and ensuring your pets feel loved and well looked after in familiar surroundings.

About: I have had dogs my whole life and absolutely adore them. I am currently away at uni so separated from my own pooch and rather than going without doggy company I would love to pamper someone elses. There is nothing better than going to the beach with your dog! As I have had experience with a variety of dogs including rescues and older and younger dogs I am confident walking them all. As I know how important our four-legged friends are I would make sure to meet and discuss your dogs needs beforehand and send regular updates while I'm with them. I am currently a full time university student studying a healthcare course so I have weekends and evenings free and am flexible during the week. I would ensure I am aware of what the dog is doing and where they are at all times and follow any instructions/special requirements provided. I also walk regularly around the parks in Swansea and around the Gower so I am familiar with the area.

About: I am a newly qualified vet and am having time off before I start working in October. This is just a way of me doing what I love without excess stress. I am currently not working so I can be very flexible with work hours and can work around you. Most weekends I am also available and can do house sitting if needed. Whatever the service required I will make sure that the dog/cat is content and has everything they need including exercise, feed/water provision and any medications if needed.

About: I have both professional and personal experience with animals of all kinds, having completed a HE course at an agricultural college i am soon off to uni to start my veterinary nursing course. Last year I worked at a charity that rehomed abandoned and surrendered dogs near north london so I have handled breeds big, small and of varying temperaments and needs. I’m also well versed in puppy, obedience and gundog training as well as ring craft. In regards to those with kitties or other pets, i have lots of husbandry experience, my own leopard gecko, and have had cats in previous years. I’ve got 2 vizslas, Kyro and Circe, one of which is reactive and has been muzzle trained by myself. They are both full of beans and very demanding so rest assured your pet is in good hands. Currently have a clear schedule, looking to fill in my time with repeat visits, walks and time with your furry friends. Mon-Sun availability, overnight visits if needed. We will have a chat and talk about your pets needs and schedule before a visit. Any medication or special care should be disclosed at booking. I’ll always make myself aware of the closest emergency vet for worst case scenarios and will send you updates throughout my time with your four legged family members.

Sophie was a pleasure to deal with. Our Bulldog Frank had recently had surgery and he had special dietary needs which Sophie adhered to consistently over the week for which she provided timely drop-in visits. It was lovely to receive her photo updates whilst we were away, and she was attentive in responding on the messenger system. Couldnt have asked for more. 5 stars.

We feel so lucky to have found Yueyue to look after Bingun! From the moment we met her, we knew he would be in great hands. Yueyue visited Bingun at home while we were away and treated him with so much care and kindness. She kept us updated after every visit with photos and messages, which we always looked forward to and really helped us relax knowing he was happy and well looked after. It was obvious how much Yueyue genuinely cared about Bingun, and that meant a lot to us. When we got home, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly had been given plenty of love and attention. Thank you so much, Yueyue, for taking such wonderful care of Bingun. We truly appreciate everything you did and wouldn’t hesitate to book with you again. We highly recommend Yueyue to anyone looking for someone who will care for their pet as if it were their own!

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poo breaks occured. 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.

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 Swansea 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!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

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.
