House Sitting in Swansea

“Fantastic care by steph, regular communication and pictures, Steph took care of milos joint condition making sure he had his supplements and painkillers at appropriate times and took care to monitor walk length. We were completely comfortable being away knowing Milo was having the best care. Steph is the prefect house guest too, leaving the house immaculate. More than I could ask for . We look forward to booking Steph again for our next trip .”

“Jon took great care of my big Belgian Shepard Duke. He provide Duke with plenty of long walks and playtime. He even took Duke on a field-trip to Bath! I will definitely be asking Jon to watch Duke again for my next holiday.”

“We had never used Rover before, but with an upcoming holiday, we came across Gina’s profile—and we’re so glad we did! We have two chihuahua crosses who can be a little nervous with new people and when we’re away, so finding the right sitter was really important to us. Gina travelled all the way from Swansea to Wiltshire, which already showed her dedication. From the moment she arrived, we knew our dogs were in safe hands. She’s such a lovely, caring person who truly understands animals. She followed our printed guide and daily routine to the letter, and sent us updates and photos every day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She took the dogs on gorgeous countryside walks and gave them endless snuggles. Her calm, knowledgeable approach was perfect for our anxious pups, and we could tell they felt safe and happy with her. We’re incredibly grateful to have found Gina and will 100% be booking her again. Thank you so much, Gina—it was a pleasure having you in our home!”

“Marie stayed to look after Bear and Evie over a very hot weekend. She made sure that Bear had a fan to keep him cool and comfortable during the day. He is very elderly and struggles with the heat. Both pets were cared for well, including giving medication, and the house was clean and tidy when we got home. Thank you.”

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!

“Meg was super easy to communicate with and flexible. We were away and needed someone to look after Biscuit for a few hours and she made us feel super comfortable! We would absolutely ask Meg again to look after Biscuit”

About: Animals have always been at the heart of my life. I grew up in a home filled with furry and feathered companions—including cats, parrots, chinchillas, two dogs and even a group of 10 ferrets! Over the years, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for family and friends - making sure their pets are not only safe and well-fed, but also happy, loved and showered with attention while they’re away. I’m experienced with a variety of dog breeds, from gentle Shih Tzus (our beloved family dog) to big, energetic pups like Bernese Mountain Dogs, Springer Spaniels, and Australian Kelpies. Whether your dog is playful, shy, or full of bounce - I tailor my care to suit their unique personality and needs. I have a flexible schedule, working mostly from home or running nature engagement events across Swansea and Gower. This means I can spend quality time with your pet—whether it’s for walks, home visits, or simply keeping them company during the day. I lead an active lifestyle and love spending time outdoors—so your dog will get plenty of exercise and enrichment in some of the beautiful green spaces I explore. Or if they prefer their usual walking route, I’m happy to stick with what’s familiar and comforting to them. I’m passionate about both animals and nature. I previously worked as a student veterinary nurse in Cambridge and hold a Certificate of Higher Education in Veterinary Nursing. I also spent three seasons working at Bristol Zoo, where I gained hands-on experience caring for both exotic and domestic animals—learning how to read their behaviour and meet their unique welfare needs. I have a flexible schedule, working mostly from home or running nature engagement events across Swansea and Gower. This means I can spend quality time with your pet -whether it’s for walks, home visits, or simply keeping them company during the day. If my calendar doesn't show availability for a specific date and time, please feel free to contact me and I may be able to shift things around :) I live alone in a house with a medium-sized garden, so there is plenty of space for your dog to explore and enjoy. It's a safe, pet-proof, and free from hazards environment. If your pet is staying in my care, I will strive to create a home-like atmosphere, with cozy spots to relax, familiar toys, and a calm and inviting setting. Every dog is wonderfully unique, and I will make sure their individual needs are met. Whether your dog loves to play, cuddle, or enjoy quiet time, I will ensure their comfort and happiness. I will always treat your fur baby with respect and patience, ensuring that they feel safe and secure during their time with me. I will keep you updated with regular check-ins, photos, and videos of your dog while you're away, so you never feel out of the loop. Your peace of mind is just as important as their well-being.

“Another great dog sitting session. I know I can relax when I leave Deedee with David. She settles well with him and he is always patient and kind with her. Thank you David.”

“Lily was excellent with Albie & Rosie! They loved spending the day with her and we will 100% be using her again”

“Maryanne was a pleasure, my little dashound was happy, I had updates and pictures, and my house was spotless when we came home. Highly recommend and will definitely use again.”

“Mabel and Pebbles adore Louis. He is kind and considerate and makes sure they are safe. Louis is experienced with dogs: during the heat he walked them when it was cooler and made sure they were happy.”

“Sandra took wonderful care of our two cats - they were very happy and relaxed when we got back from our trip away. She was incredibly warm, friendly and responsible, I would definitely recommend her!”

About: I grew up with dogs (German Shepherd, Labrador and Portuguese Pedengo) and later had experience of rescuing strays and rearing litters when I lived in Portugal. I often dog sit for family and friends when they are away from home so have lots of experience! I love animals and am confident with all elements of care, nothing is too much hassle for your pet. I now have 2 cats who enjoy mousing and lazing around. I love all animals and would love the opportunity to take care of yours. I work remotely so can easily fit in doggy walks and also provide pet sitting and drop ins at your place during the week. I can also provide overnight care at your house if required. I am 100% reliable and safety for your pet is most important to me. My cats are older now and we are very conscious of making sure that they don't stray far when outside. I'd give equal care and attention to yours. I would respect your instructions and ensure your pet's needs are fully catered for at all times. Most importantly, I know how hard it is to entrust your pet to another person and so communication is important to me so that you can feel comfortable that they are happy and safe when you aren't there.

“Macaulay was absolutely wonderful! He was so professional and lovely to talk to, really responsive and it was clear from the get-go that he was really invested in looking after Gwen and Bandit as well as possible. From the moment we met at the meet and greet, Macaulay got on their level and made the effort to get to know what works for us. We only have amazing things to say- Gwen and Bandit loved having him to look after them, especially playing ball! Knowing that they felt settled and totally at ease was such a weight off our minds, we can't recommend booking Macaulay enough. Thank you!”

About: I’ve worked with many of dogs in the past such as training and working with farm dogs (collies). I used to work on a farm which was a dog kennel and learned how to train and work and handle and take care the dogs. I own a cocker spaniel dog for 5 years and we trained her up ourselves. we also have another 2 year old sprocker very friendly, very well trained. We absolutely love our animals and would welcome and take care of yours too! I currently working part time at the moment so I’m hoping on the days off and the evenings I am more than willing to go out and spend my time with great dogs My garden is fully fenced off and safe and secure for all dogs and I’ve got one little energetic, kind and gentle puppy that will take great care of your dog

About: I’m a uni student and a big dog lover. I have a Jack Russell back home so I know what it’s like to be away from your baby and want the best care for them. I’ve also helped look after my friend’s Jack Russell, so I’m used to high-energy dogs and keeping them happy and active. I’m patient, reliable and I’d honestly love the chance to share some of the love I’m missing from my own dog while making sure yours feels safe, loved and cared for. I’m currently a student at Swansea University and I have classes in the mornings some days and some days in the late afternoon. I’m available to board at the weekends. When I’m in a pet owner’s home, I make sure to respect their space and stick closely to the pet’s usual routine so they feel safe and settled. I pay attention to feeding times, walks, play, and any little quirks the pet might have. I also make sure to give regular updates so owners know their pet is in good hands. Our pets are quite literally our children and so I get that pet owners want updates every 5 seconds. It’s important to me that both the pet and their owner feel comfortable and at ease the whole time.

“I read the reviews for Kingsley and he sounded perfect for our Beagle and once we met him we had no worries about leaving Cookie with him. We loved how calm and kind he is and how concerned he was for Cookies needs and welfare. We were also very grateful that he only has one dog at a time as our Beagle is a gentle soul who I different to other dogs and much prefers human company. We received loads of photos and updates from Kingsley and Cookies definitely made herself at home and that is all down to Kingsley and how he interacted and let Cookie do her thing. I have absolutely no worries about leaving Cookie with Kingsley and count ourselves very lucky that we found him and cannot recommend Kingsley enough. Cookie cake.back to us very happy and content.”

“Both of us finally got to leave the house at the same time without the dogs!! Kate looked after our two mini dachshunds for a few hours on Saturday after an introduction a few weeks before. We were a little nervous leaving them as the oldest is blind and can be grumpy and the youngest is a bit clingy but a walk was had and treats were given. Safe to say the boys loved her as Kate is a lovely young woman and very capable which is brilliant as we’ve booked again for this coming weekend when we go to a wedding. We would certainly recommend Kate if you’re looking for someone who understands dogs and loves their company.”
