Dog Walking in Swansea

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and have experience caring for a wide range of pets including Rottweilers, Labradors, XL Bullies, cats, and even snakes. I currently have a Labrador of my own, so I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m confident handling larger breeds, and I’m calm, patient, and genuinely passionate about animal care. I’m also completing pet first aid and CPR training to provide extra peace of mind for owners. Pet care is becoming my full-time passion and business. I’ve shifted my routine to focus entirely on pet services, so I’m fully available for daily walks, feeding, playtime, and customized care. Whether it’s a weekly schedule or occasional drop-ins, I dedicate all my time to ensuring pets get the love and attention they deserve. To ensure every pet feels secure and well cared for, I have a detailed meet-and-greet process. I provide printed forms that cover all the important details—like feeding times, daily schedules, how your pet interacts with other animals, and any special care needs. This helps me follow your exact routine and ensures I provide a personalized, safe environment—whether I’m caring for them in their home or off for a walk

About: I’ve looked after several dogs and cats in the last few years of varying ages and sizes, both at my home and the owner’s. Most recently, I sat for a very cute Lurcher puppy at his home three days a week, for four months last summer, helping to toilet and crate train him, and playing with him throughout the day while ensuring he got enough rest. I have looked after him on the odd occasion since and he is always very excited to see me. I have also looked after an 11 year old Dalmatian on three different occasions for 3-6 weeks at a time and we have formed a close bond. He feels comfortable in my home and needs quite a lot exercise so we enjoy lots of long walks together. When I first looked after him he could be quite reactive and would pull on the lead a lot, but we have done quite a bit of work together and he is much calmer now. I’ve also had the pleasure of caring for the sweetest 11 year old Miniature Schnauzer on several occasions for a few days at a time, making lots of time for snuggles but also taking her down to the beach where she loves to explore. I’ve also housesat for friends and family, looking after their cats while they were on holiday. My friend’s cats were quite nervous so I was happy to take their lead on how close I got. While they were wary to begin with, they would happily sit with me and let me stroke them by the end of the week. My friends have asked me to catsit again this September. All in all, the fact that owners have trusted me to look after their pets for long periods of time and on more than one occasion shows that I am reliable and will care for your pet like they are my own, with the utmost love, care and attention. The owners have also appreciated the regular updates and pictures I send and I will always make sure to do the same for you. I work from home four days a week and can be flexible on location so am happy to come to yours or look after your pet at my house. I’m available during the week and at weekends for quick drop ins, a full day or for boarding, from one night to several weeks at a time if required. I have a large, enclosed garden for your pet to have a good run around if needed. There are also lots of good walks nearby, including a park and the beach is nearby. I live alone and don’t have any pets or children, so can provide a calm, secure space. My work is quite flexible so I can make time to play with your pet and show them the love and attention they need. Also happy to crate if required.

“Ariana was lovely with our german shepperd Ozzy, although our dog has some general anxiety he loved Ariana since day 1, even sitting on her lap. Very grateful for her flexibility to walk Ozzy so we could enjoy our 3 weeks holidays whilst receiving pictures of a happy Ozzy :)”

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: I have been responsible for my family Labrador Sonny for the last 12 years. My absolute heart and soul! I walk dogs locally in my spare time, pairing my love for the outdoors and my passion for dogs. I also have experience dog sitting in exchange for accomodation abroad which I absolutely love doing! Please feel free to contact me about anything you might need, my schedule is very flexible and I’m always happy to help out in anyway I can:) thank you for considering me. I work a zero hour hospitality job, so usually my work schedule can tailor to your needs. A usual day looks like a healthy breakfast, a big long walk usually between a hour-two hours, then I go to work usually not more than a 5 hour shift, I like cosy evenings at home or strolling on the beach. I genuinely have such a good routine for a dog to slot right in I believe. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after in either my home or the owner’s home. I follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any specific care instructions. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship to keep them happy and relaxed. I also maintain a clean environment, monitor their health and behavior, and keep owners updated with messages or photos for peace of mind. I have a fenced garden and live right on the beach for plenty of outdoor time. Also a large park close by!

About: Friends and family have relied on me to care for their pets since I was around 15, including feeding, bathing, cleaning litter trays, and spending quality time making sure pets feel comfortable and settled. I’m particularly confident caring for cats and understand how important routine, patience, and a calm approach are, especially with younger or more nervous pets. While I haven’t formally cared for dogs yet, I’m very happy and eager to do so. I’m responsible, quick to follow instructions, and committed to learning each pet’s individual needs and routine. I take pet safety seriously, provide regular updates, and always treat animals as if they were my own. What sets me apart is that I’m attentive, reliable, and genuinely care about the wellbeing of the pets I look after - not just completing tasks, but making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while their owners are away :) (p.s. I have 2 cats of my own) 🐾❗️ I also offer daytime care/house sitting for pets who need company during the day 😊 This is ideal for dogs who aren’t used to being left alone for long periods. As this involves extended hours (e.g. 8+ hours), this is priced as a full-day service rather than my standard overnight rate - feel free to message me to discuss and arrange what works best!❗️🐾 I’m currently not in full-time work so I’m available for any pet services daily from 10am. This includes dog walking, dog/cat sitting at your home and cat boarding. I always prioritise safety, trust, and the comfort of each pet, whether I’m caring for them in my home or in an owner’s home. I follow all care instructions closely and keep routines as consistent as possible so pets feel settled and secure. In my home, cats have a calm, safe environment. My own cats are outdoor cats and are able to go outside freely, however I have a lockable cat flap and can fully accommodate indoor-only cats by keeping them safely indoors at all times. My home is secure, and pets are always supervised appropriately. I also have a fully walled garden away from the main road, providing an extra layer of safety. Pets other than my own are never left unattended outdoors. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I treat the space with respect, ensure doors and windows are secure, and follow feeding, hygiene, and care routines exactly as instructed. I provide regular updates and photos, and I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, care, and attention.

“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: 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’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.

“Danielle was brilliant, Lottie loved her walk with her. Thank you! X”

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.

About: I have grown up always having cats or dogs in my home so caring for animals has been part of my everyday life. Over the years I have also helped friends and family by pet sitting, walking, and giving lots of love and attention to their pets. I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, comfortable and happy while their owners are away. Being around pets brings so much joy, which I am now missing due to no longer living in a home with them. I am currently unemployed while I search for my postgraduate job, which means I have plenty of time to dedicate to looking after your pets! When caring for pets in their own home, I always make sure they feel safe in their familiar space. I ensure to follow the owner’s instructions carefully to keep their routine consistent, whether it is walks, playtime or feeding. I treat every home with respect, keeping it clean and secure while I am responsible for it.

About: My name is Egdana, I am an animal lover from Venezuela and live with my husband in St Thomas in Swansea (near the city centre). Both of us have had pets for most of our lives. Ever since I was 15 I have looked after pets, this includes dogs, cats, rats, guinea pigs, hamsters, turtles, and even a pig! I work from home, so I am always available. We have 2 indoor sphynx cats, Chi and Luna, so it is important that your dog tolerates cats (they can be kept separate if necessary, but need to be accepting of them). We also have 2 guinea pigs that live in the garden, and although they will be kept in an enclosed space away from your dog, it is important that their presence does not drive your dog crazy as is the case with some breeds! We have a fully enclosed courtyard so your dog can go outside without any risk of being lost. I work from home, so I will always be here to care for your pet. My husband is also here in the evenings to help. We are working on making a fully enclosed catio (a small courtyard with a net covering it), so your pet can enjoy going outside without any risk of being lost. We have 2 indoor cats of our own that we care for, so you can have confidence that your pet will be safe here.

“Emma made our dog Gwen very welcome and really listened to our concerns regarding Gwens separation anxiety issues. We had lots of messages beforehand and Emma always answered really quickly. We left Gwen with Emma for a couple of hours and all went well. Gwen enjoyed her walk and it was nice to receive a couple of photos off Emma to put our minds at rest. We are booking another session with Emma soon and would recommend her as a kind and caring dog lover who will take great care of your pet.”
