Dog Sitting in Swansea

About: I have been caring for cats and dogs for over 10 years. I have experience with all kinds of dogs, including senior dogs and reactive dogs (I have a reactive rescue myself). I understand that all pet parents have different requirements and needs, and I’m committed to providing personalised care that makes both you and your pet feel comfortable. From daily walks and playtime to calm, structured support for reactive or senior pets, I adapt to whatever your furry friend needs. I am a freelance online worker and can fit my schedule around any bookings made. This means I can be available 24/7 as required :) When I’m looking after pets in your home, I do everything I can to make them feel secure and understood. I follow their usual routine, offer plenty of love and reassurance, and adjust my care to match their personality, whether they need calm company, fun play sessions, or a structured routine. I also keep your home tidy and send updates throughout my visit.

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: Dogs have always been in my life. My best friend Jake devastatingly passed away last year who with me and my dad had raised since a pup as a rescue Stafie. This bereavement has made me treasure dogs and all animals alike much more, they rely on us and give their unconditional love and I want to give back and make their lives filled with fun and enjoyment. I have experience with all sorts of dogs, from different breeds such as Staffies and Labrador, from young energetic balls of energy to the seniors who love and deserve to be pampered in their old age. I'm currently a final year animation student on my summer holidays and looking to look after our furry friends. My schedule is very flexible until September after this I will update my schedule to reflect this as soon as I know my class dates. For now however I am free every week day. I have a large front garden, and a back garden (not fenced), however lots of large fields, woodland and trails in my local area. I would care for your dog as my own and treat them as the best, they would be well fed and played with lots. I would be honoured to build a relationship with them, a relationship built on trust and loyalty, values that I have been brought up with and built upon with my own dog who is sadly no longer with us.

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: I’ve had dogs ranging from miniature dachshunds to labradors since I was a baby and in the past year I have been looking after many dogs with my housemate through rover so I am very familiar with the service. I have experience in training puppies as well as caring for medicated older dogs. I have my own car and so love to take the dogs for nice long walks and to beaches too. I am a university student but I have currently finished for the summer so I have lots of free time to show your pets a lot of love. I already go on a lot of walks and beach days and so would love to include dogs to this. I do have a housemate who is also a rover approved sitter and so no dog is ever left alone. I have a fenced garden so lots of freedom in toilet breaks etc. I am also more than happy to have dogs on furniture and in beds so they can stay comfortable in their routine if that’s how they sleep at home. But I do also have crate training experience in order to keep your dog in their own routine.

“Aimee was brilliant, she came every day and spent lots of time with Maverick. She played with him and gave him lots of cuddles which was fab. Alongside this she took many pictures so I could see how he was and she ensured that everything was in place. ”

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.

“Great dog sitter! Maryanne took great care of my dog and kept me updated with photos and messages. I felt completely at ease knowing my pet was in such good hands. Easy to communicate with. Have rebooked another visit. Highly recommend!”

About: I've been around a bunch of animals all my life, cats, dogs, horses, bunnies, hamsters. Animals have always been a passion of mine and im hoping to connect with other furry friends outside of my usual circle Im in my final week of college so I will be able to pet sit most days besides a sunday and then an hour or two during the day where I need to care for my horse I make sure that any dangers are either dealt with or are out of reach of the animal and I make sure it stays that way theoughout the visit

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’ve spent a lot of time caring for animals, especially those who can be a little harder to place due to their behaviour. I’m patient, intuitive, and genuinely enjoy taking the time to build trust with each dog at their own pace. I love being outdoors with them and creating a calm, safe environment where they can feel secure. I’ve recently returned from a six-month trip caring for my grandmother’s pets, and I’m really looking forward to connecting with more furry friends in my local area again. That time deepened my connection with animals even more being around them feels grounding and joyful to me. I really value the innocence, gentleness, and sense of play they bring into life. They’ve taught me a lot about presence, patience, and finding happiness in simple moments. I’m open to caring for both dogs and cats i truly enjoy being around them both. For everyone’s safety and comfort, I don’t mix them during care. I work for myself from home, so I have a flexible schedule. Feel free to message me to check availability for your dates. I’m happy to adapt to whatever your pet needs, whether that’s long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or gentle care at home. I take the time to understand each animal as an individual and what helps them feel happiest and most at ease. I understand the importance of respecting their boundaries, especially if they have trauma. I just adore animals Soo much, I am passionate about creating a safe environment for them. I have experience caring for rescue dogs and genuinely love creating a safe space they ve always deserved. Please let me know if there is anything I need to know about your pets, in terms of special needs or behaviour. There isnt anywhere they wont be allowed in my flat they are free to roam as they please, when I am caring for animals if they are well enough and enjoy being out I tend to spend most the day outside with them. I work for myself from home. I don't have a rigid structure to my weeks so drop me a msg and see if I am available for the dates you need a sitter. I am willing to do anything that makes your dog happy and feel safe. Whether that is a long walk,a cuddle, play dates with other dogs. I would get to know your dog and see what works best for them.

About: I have grown up around all sorts of Doggos, from teeny tiny to lovable giants. Learned to train loads and currently have a Rottweiler who is a very well trained boy. I have also volunteered in various rescue centres. I am currently self employed so am very flexible and prioritise everything dog related. I choose when I work so with enough notice I can fit most dogs in. Dogs are treated as part of the family and I will cater to whatever is the usual family environment for them. I sit in your home as I feel it is where the dog is most comfortable

About: I've grown up with cats, but had a lot of experience with dogs as well and feel really comfortable with both. I recently worked in a cat and dog shelter in Vietnam, looking after multiple cats and dogs at the same time. I currently work part time so have lots of time to look after dogs :) I can do week day or weekends, depending on what's needed. I have a fenced garden, which is safe for dogs to be in. I also have a large home for lots of room for pets to roam.

“Beril was wonderful with my two cats, even capably rescuing a pigeon (I was so impressed). I will definitely be rebooking again soon. Thank you!!!”

About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have taken every opportunity to look after pets from a very young age- cats, dogs, horses, rats, hamsters, you name it. A few years ago, I brought home my first puppy, Ellie the mini dachshund, who quickly became my world. She is an absolute dream. I have sadly had to leave her in the loving care of my parents so I could come to uni in Swansea. I miss her so much and would love to look after other pets while I’m here! I’m a bubbly and sociable individual who loves to keep fit and healthy- dog walking would be a great excuse to get me out of the house even more! Besides working at my degree, I spend a few hours here and there working in some independent pharmacies around Swansea. Because of this, my availability is relatively flexible but I do ideally need around a weeks notice (or more!) to arrange care around my studies and job. Happy to discuss rates depending on hours of care required 😁 looking forward to hearing from you! X I like early nights and early mornings. I’m currently working very flexible hours in a pharmacy so have plenty of time for doggy day care! I have finished uni for the year (woohoo!), except for a few exams in May, so I’m sure we will be able to find a good time for both of us. I would prefer to care for pets in their owners home as I know they will be more comfortable in a known environment. I would love to hear about how you care for your pet and replicate this as I know dogs can like their routines, ie crating them if necessary, taking them out regularly, meals at specific times etc. and will be very respectful of your property. I cannot offer care in my own home an I live in a small studio flat with no garden so this is unfortunately unsuitable for boarding. This is definitely not a permanent situation so I will update this as soon as anything changes!

“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: I have owned multiple dogs in my life; collies, retrievers, newfoundlands, cross breeds. I am a firefighter so am a very active and outgoing person. However, this does mean I work 4 days on, 4 days off. So my availability will vary. When I am off work, I enjoy playing with my two Newfoundland girls, but sadly they are a big heavy breed so can not walk as far as I would like. If you would want me to walk your dog(s), I am more than happy to do so. I will take them for as long as you need, and am more than happy to walk them anywhere. I have also helped out with a litter of German Shepherd puppies, ensuring they were happy and healthy, until they went to their forever home. As I mentioned previously, I work 4 days on, 4 days off in the fire service. So availability won’t always be the same each week, but I will always make time on my days off. I am very respectable of pets and their owners. Whatever requests, wishes or rules that you have put in place I will respect to a tee

About: i’ve taken care of my dog, lucky, since i was 12 and have walked him twice everyday, fed him everyday, and taken care of his general needs. i also have looked after my cat for as long as i can remember (i got her when i was 9) i’m currently a student on summer holiday so whenever i am needed i can base my schedule around that! more than happy to do house sitting and walking for people but preferably not having other pets at my parents house as my dog prefers to be the only dog in the house! on dog walks i have a 3m extendable lead i can use if recall isn’t the dogs strong point and will always keep watch of it if i am house sitting

About: I’ve had many pets over the years, including a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel when I was growing up, and I currently have a collie cross. I’m really excited for the opportunity to look after your pet as well! Bella, my dog, is a sweet and gentle soul, she’s getting on in years but still full of life. My girlfriend and I take care of her together, so she wouldn’t need to come along for any house stays. She doesn’t walk very far these days, so she won’t be joining me on any of my Rover walks. I currently teach English online, which gives me a lot of flexibility with my schedule. In addition, I work part-time in ecology with zero-hour contracts, so I occasionally work evenings. This means I can easily accommodate different timings for dog walks and pet care around your schedule. When I’m house sitting I’ll keep your dog’s routine going with regular walks, playtime, and lots of attention while you're away. I’ll also make sure your home is secure and your pet feels comfortable and relaxed. For walks, I’ll adjust the pace and distance based on what your dog enjoys, making sure they get a good mix of exercise and fun. I’ll send you updates so you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands!
