House Sitting in Swansea

“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.”

“Meg has house sat while we were away over the weekend and looked after our staffy rosie and cat millie and she's been absolutely fantastic I can't recommend her enough! Our animals warmed to her calm energy straight away and rosie in particular has clearly had a great time over the weekend. She's given us updates when asked and treated our home with respect. We will certainly be using her services again. Thanks Meg!!”

“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.”

“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 .”

“Can't thank Lily enough for the wonderful care she took of Indy! So thoughtful and kind, amazing communication (and I think Indy's a bit disappointed we're home from holidays, he had such a lovely time and so many lovely walks.) Thank you Lily - it was such a relief knowing he was in such great hands, having his own little holiday at home, and wouldn't hesitate to book you again ❤️”

“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.”

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.

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.

About: I adopted a rescue Border collies who had lots of issues. He came on leaps and bounds in the 6 yrs we were together ❤️ I currently work 15 hrs a week. I have my rota in advance so can give my availability quite far in advance approx 2 months I have a very large secure garden for dogs. I listen to what the owners like for their family member I miss playing with my dog since he passed away

“Samantha is a lovely kind hearted lady and my dogs were very happy when I got home. What more could we ask for? Thank you so much Samantha xx”

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!

“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!”

“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!”

“Beth is absolutely wonderful! We are new to area. Our 15 year old Claire had a few wobblies few weeks ago. We were going to be away for several hours and did not want to leave her home alone. Beth was so lovely to come to our home staying with Claire for us. We had absolute piece of mind while away. Claire LOVED Beth! She normally will not eat first day we are away in protest. She immediately ate for Beth. That was huge... We will absolutely ask Beth to watch Claire for us again into the future. Thank you again Beth! x”

“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.”

“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.”

About: I have been dogsitting 5 different dogs regularly for many years now, both at my house and the owners house, both young and old with different care needs including; puppies, senior dogs, dogs with medical issues too I’m currently a 2nd year university student so am available every weekend and evening but am only available during select times for weekdays for dog care I will care for the pets exactly as needed specifically following the owners rules and plans. I will walk the pet regularly and as far as needed and will go to great lengths to keep the pet happy and entertained

About: Since a very young age I have been left to care for my families & my friends animals due to my compassionate nature and always having had a strong love for animals as a whole. I have always had pets since as far back as I can remember and they have taught me valuable qualities in compassion and love throughout the years, mainly cats throughout my life but I have also lived with dogs, lizards, birds, fish and more all of which I have personally cared for. I am an active person and throughly enjoy getting out in nature be it a nice long walk or relaxing in a park, the out doors is a very favoured place for me so you can rest assured in knowing your dog (or cat) will get the exercise they need, on or off the lead I am very patient and will take all the care that I can to be aware of your furry friends needs! Book with me and you can be confident in your choice of sitter, knowing they are in the care of an experienced pet owner & minder with a lot of compassion and love to ensure your animals needs, well-being and happiness are met at all times. I look forward to working with you and meeting your wonderful pets! As this is currently my main source of work, you will have further peace of mind knowing that I won’t have to leave your animals alone for extended periods of time in the day and that my schedule is incredibly flexible with plenty of free time on my hands to take care of your wonderful pets. I spend a lot of time at home playing with my 2 cats who I adore ever so much, I will be certain to treat your pets with the exact same love as if they were my own. Like I said, being a long time pet owner and carer of those close to myself’s animals you can relax knowing your pet will be safe in the hands of someone with plenty of experience and compassion toward animals. I will be sure to abide by any household rules if I am to take care of your animals at your home and I am great at taking instructions so if your animal is crate trained, has specific feeding times, specific walking times or anything of the sort I will make sure that you are reassured with regular updates.

“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.”
