“Keira is amazing! Not a lot of people will walk or care for my dog because of his breed and she’s been amazing with him. Mickey loves her already and looks forward to continuing his weekly walks 😊”


“Rosa was brilliant with our little pup Sunny. She communicated well, was punctual, and took the time to meet with us before going on the prearranged walks. Rosa also brought with her a ball and a little toy that she gifted to our dog as a way of bonding with him. This was super sweet and sunny played with the toys from the moment he came back from his walk. Sunny also really enjoyed the walks especially as Rosa made the effort to tailor the walks to what he likes! Thanks so much, Rosa! We would highly recommend and we’ll definitely book again.”


“David was fantastic! He picked up the booking last minute, which was a huge help. Communication was great from the start with quick replies. He arrived promptly and followed all the instructions I left. He made a great impression on my dog, who was clearly so happy to see him in the photos! I really appreciated having someone so reliable and trustworthy taking my dog for walks whilst I was at work. I’d definitely use David again. Highly recommend!”


About: I have taken care of dogs for my friends who struggle to find sitters due to their dogs behavior. I am really patient and understanding. I enjoy the process of gaining the dogs trusts. I like spending time with them, especially outdoors. I have rescued a stray dog before, 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 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: My personal dog is reactive and ive been with him for 3 years slowly improving his reactivity! I know he's improved from neighbours comments . Caring for my dog is as common as breathing for me from waking up to walk and feed to giving lots of scratches! Belly scratches! In my own home lots of toy play and managed amounts of treats. In a client's home I would adhere to their instructions. Let's play!

About: I’ve always been an animal lover and taken every opportunity to look after pets from a very young age- cats, dogs, horses, rats, hamsters, you name it. At 19, 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 begin my studies in Swansea. I miss her so much and would absolutely love to help look after other peoples pets while I’m here, especially during the summer as my availability is quite flexible. 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! Happy to discuss rates depending on hours of care required 😁 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!

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.

“Chris was really lovely Luna felt relaxed with him and he took her for a great 1 hr walk she was very happy and fell asleep later on very snuggly on the sofa beside me . Thank you Chris.”


About: I've dedicated my life to care for animals, I loo k forward to meeting you and your animal family. I started out dog walking and petsitting as a chlid/teenager, and I owned a cat as a child. I developed a keen interest in studying dog breeds and behaviour and I could identify over 300 breeds by the age of 12. I've worked as a veterinary nurse and worked in a petshop, and kennels. In the kennels I have looked after valuable breeding/stud dogs and puppies. I owned, trained, shown my newfoundland and I trained my neighbours G.s.d's. I have qualifications in dog behaviour, grooming, training, animal communication, canine first aid and animal healing. I've looked after dogs, cats, h rabbits, birds, poultry, ferrets, rabbits, and fish. I've been petsitting for most of my adult life. I have a B.A in Fine Art and I specialise in animal portraits and I am a keen dog/cat/ photographer. I look forward to meeting you and your animal family. I work as a petsitter most of the time, so I can care for your pets generally round the clock. I can offer, live in to cover holidays, hospital stays etc and I'm flexible. I can also offer dog walking, photography, portraiture and grooming to make them look their best before the photography or part of my petsittting care. I can offer full time care for your animals, for a day, weekend, week or longer to cover your needs inc your plants if required. I walk dogs several times a day depending on their/your needs, and I often look after animals that need medical attention or different needs. I can handle big dogs, I've cared for Bullmastiffs, st Bernard's, Great Danes plus my own newfoundland. I can care for "them" in my/your home. I bond very well with animals including nervous cats or dogs.

About: In my family I have always grown up surrounded by dogs and being animal lovers. My friends in Swansea have always trusted me to look after their pets while they are away I am unemployed at the moment, job hunting , so I am more than happy to offer full time services while my professional situation does not change In my place I made the adjustments to make the pet in the most comfortable way. I do care and practice empathy putting myself in their paws 🐾 so once exercising, feeding and cleaning is done I do invest in quality time shared to make then feel companied and well attended while their loved owners are absent


About: I am an experienced dog owner and have always loved dogs since I was small. I have two black labradors who we absolutely adore. My oldest dog is 6 and the youngest is 2. All members of my family own a dog so we are always dog sitting while they are away so we are experts with many breeds. My dogs are very relaxed and welcome any dog in their home. They are also very good company and playmates if that’s what your dog needs. On the other hand, because of their nature, if your does not want to interact with them, they will leave them alone - that’s just labradors for you. I have always hated the thought of having to put my doggies in kennels when we go away and we never do luckily and have used dogbuddy to help us in the past. We would provide a home away from home as I understand how important it is for your doggy to feel looked after and cared for while you are away and to also give you peace of mind to relax and not worry. We have a lovely house right opposite a very popular dog walking park in Swansea that is very close to Swansea Bay so rest assured your dogs would well walked (or ran if they preferred). I only work two days a week and my husband is here with our dogs on those days anyway so there is always someone with your dog. We are a very fit family and love nothing better than to walk so rest assured, your dog will be very content. Should you require us for dog walking, we are very flexible and would happily accommodate you and your dog. We have our own transport and would happily pick your dog up and take them to our beautiful beaches in Swansea on a regular basis. We love nothing more than to do this! We would love to welcome your dog to our house and you can be assured they would be loved and looked after just like our own. Please feel free to message me for any more information I haven’t thought of putting on here 😊

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was little. From walking my neighbours senior dogs to house sitting my friends puppies. I love going on long walks and making sure tails are wagging all the time!! I am currently a uni student at Swansea University so I am very flexible. Whenever you need me i’m there!! Whether you have work during the day or just need an evening off :) On walks I will make sure to keep your pup on a leash unless safe to do so! I have a lot of difficult situations involving other dogs during walks so I will try my best to avoid those and if not resolve them. My house includes a small fenced backyard and is safe for any size companion if needed for boarding.

“First time using the app and very glad that we found Katie. Not only did she come and meet our dog a few days before the walk, but she took him out today whilst myself and my partner were at work and our dog had a great time - we got plenty of photos and updates. Katie's professionalism is fantastic. She's gone above and beyond, making sure we feel confident throughout and asking lots of questions and offering advice. We will be rebooking with Katie again regularly and would highly recommend!”


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. My garden is completely fenced off and loads of room to run and play. Dogs are treated as part of the family with full run of the house alongside my lovable doggo.

“I can highly recommend Nia. She looked after our dog Chewy for the day. She communicated very well with us in advance so we were all clear of what was needed. Nia took great care of Chewy. She sent us updates and photos and I was completely relaxed leaving Chewy in her care. I came home to a happy and relaxed dog.”


About: I have a lot of experience in taking care of dogs, cats and rabbits. My family owns greyhounds and 2 rabbits. I often house sit for friends and family so have dogs and cats. I've had experience looking after a range of dogs from big breeds like labradors, collies and greyhounds to smaller dogs like cokapoos, spaniels and terriers. I'm a Student at Swansea University and so I'll have plenty of time in-between lectures to look after your animals! I am really flexible and often free during the middle of the day when you might be at work. I offer a lot of care and attention to the animals and am attentive to their needs. I understand that letting someone look after your pet is a big thing and therefore promise to be reliable and give updates on how they are getting on!

Jon F.
“Jon is a bit shy around two leg'ed animals but when it comes to four leg'ed ones he comes out of his shell and becomes really talkative and devoted. He really likes dogs but isn't able to have his own at the moment so this is potentially his ideal solution. When not doing this he will be caring for members of his family or doing college / university work. He is kind, attentive and very reliable.”

gina f.
“Gina is fantastic with both dogs and cats . She cares deeply for their wellbeing and she experiences job satisfaction. She works with animals tirelessly and with enthusiasm.. She has had a large number of animals to look after at any one time. No job is too large or small. She understands the needs of animals and can connect with animals. Gina has a natural "way " with them. They bond with her and enjoy the time spent with her.. She can look.after their medical needs and can groom pets as well as walk. and "pet sit" them ..”


Sandra Maria G.
“As a dog trainer and professional dog sitter, I highly recommend Sandra’s services. I first met Sandra when I needed help with a female dog that had serious socialisation issues. She was in heat, so I couldn’t keep her with the rest of the dogs. To cut a long story short, I was truly impressed by the care Sandra provided. Since then, she has earned my complete trust when it comes to dog care. It was a challenging task, and she handled it brilliantly! Sandra has a natural gift with dogs, and I have no doubt she will go far. I’m delighted that she has started her own business because we need more people like her in this field.

Laura B.
“Brilliant service, my dog went for 5 days whilst my house was renovated. Had photos and videos, of her playing with Laura’s dog. I believe the fact Laura has dogs helped her settle in. Will use Laura again.”


Maria S.
“Maria is a responsible and trustworthy dog-sitter. I’ve asked her to look after my puppy Bobby on multiple occasions and Bobby has grown very fond of her and now gets excited when he hears her name. She has walked him, fed him, and has even stayed with him overnight despite him being quite restless and high-maintenance at nighttime. I would not hesitate to recommend Maria as a dog-sitter to anyone.”
