“Hannah arrived right on time. Delightful young lady, with in minutes had our very shy little girl contented and happy. We would definitely use Hannah when ever we need a sitter. A fabulous experience.”
“Mina is a calm and confident dog sitter. Mabel loved her. She came the day before to get to know her and has great timekeeping. She sent photos and video during the day and checked in when she was due to finish. Highly recommended.”
About: I’ve had a pet cat my entire life, her name is pearl and she’s 21. As I’ve had her my whole life i know how to take care of pets very well and know what they need while also enjoying spending time with them very much. As my cats quite old I also understand the importance in care elderly pets need. I’ve also done pet sitting jobs for family friends! I recently did a job taking care of 2 dogs and a cat, so I also know what dogs need for entertainment and how to keep them happy. I’m currently a student at university, hence during summer Im completely free to spend time with your pets and to give them all my attention. I have an elderly cat who I attend most of the time at home to make sure she’s healthy & happy. If that means fun with toys, giving food or medicine, cleaning or anything else, I can do it.
About: I grew up on a farm and have always been surrounded by animals, I studied animal care and animal behaviour while at college and i'm more than happy to look after your furry friends 😃 I'm in between jobs so fully flexible and can liase with you to ensure that we work to your schedule in order to keep things as convenient as possible for you. My Cat is an indoor pet, however I grew up in the countryside and very used to feeding and taking dogs outside on a lead.
“How lovely to know you can leave your cherished dog and home in Jacobs hands. He was very patient with our extremely lively springer spaniel, a great pleasure to gave him in our home. Would recommend 100%.”
About: Although I am new to pet sitting professionally, I have grown up around animals and have cared for cats and dogs throughout my life. I have 2 family dogs at home who I regularly care for and spend time with. I am comfortable feeding, walking and following individuals routines, alongside a lot of cuddles! I genuinely love animals and understand the importance of leaving your pets with someone trustworthy. I will always treat your pets as if they were my own. I am starting my Masters degree in September and will be working part time alongside my studies. This means I will have good availability around my commitments, including days off, evenings and weekends. I can be flexible and I am happy to discuss availability with each other to ensure I can provide consistent care for their pet. As I live in a shared professionals house, I am unable to provide boarding or care for pets at my home. However, I am more than happy to provide care in your pets own home, including walking, feeding, playtime and companionship. I will always follow their usual routines and I am happy to provide regular updates while you are away.
“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”
“Griff was very comfortable with Amelia for her first half-day of care at my home. No problems with walking him on lead and following his feed regime. I'll now use Amelia for a week of house sitting.”
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.
“Sophia looked after our 2 English Bulldogs at our home. It was a last minute booking due to being let down elsewhere. She is absolutely fantastic, our girl can be funny with strangers but she took to Sophia straight away and wouldn't leave her side the entire weekend! We had regular pics, videos and messages for peace of mind, they had regular walks and Sophia also followed the care notes to the letter, giving Hercules his eye drops and cleaning his wrinkles. House was clean and tidy when we got home, we highly recommend Sophia to look after your pets and we will definitely use her again anytime we need a loving caring sitter for our babies! Thank you so much 💓”
About: Hi, I am Kate and I'm an 20-year-old uni student who misses their cat and dog immensely. Last year I worked part-time as a nanny and full time in a school and therefore been DBS checked. I have been working towards extending my services to pet sitting more often too. I am most experienced in looking after cats as I have had cats for the last 13 years, so looking after cats and making them feel settled is like second nature to me. Cats are truly one of my favourite animals and so looking after them, no matter what service you are looking for, would be a pleasure. I also own a gorgeous labrador retriever, she is 5 years old and the most energetic dog I have ever met. I have done the majority of the training for her and taken part in extra training classes for puppies too as well as doing overnight stays for dog sitting over multiple nights so feel I would be able to support puppies as well as adult dogs to a high quality.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for several years through looking after my own pets, and it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I’ve cared for my German Shepherd, Simba, for the past 3 years, as well as my three cats, Luna, Pumpkin and Stripy. Having both a dog and multiple cats has given me experience with very different personalities, routines and needs. With Simba, I’ve been responsible for his day-to-day care, including making sure he was fed on time, had plenty of exercise and stayed active and happy. I’ve bathed and groomed him, taken him to the vet whenever he needed medical attention, and given him medication on time when required. I’ve also learned to pay attention to changes in his behaviour, energy levels and general wellbeing so I can recognise when something isn’t quite right. Looking after my cats has been just as rewarding. I make sure Luna, Pumpkin and Stripy are fed according to their routine, have a clean and comfortable environment, and get plenty of attention and playtime. Because cats can each have such different personalities, I’ve learned to give them space when they need it while also knowing when they want affection, stimulation or company. For me, looking after pets isn’t just about feeding them and making sure they’re safe. I really enjoy keeping them entertained, giving them lots of love and attention, playing with them and making sure they feel comfortable and settled. I understand that pets can miss their owners when they’re away, so I would want every pet I look after to feel cared for, relaxed and happy. I’m now looking to continue doing something I genuinely love by becoming a part-time pet sitter in Swansea. I’d be happy to follow each pet’s normal routine, including their feeding, walks, playtime, medication where required and anything else their owner asks me to keep consistent. I’d treat every pet as an individual and give them the same patience, care and affection that I give my own🐈🐶💕 I'm available any day/time. I prefer working on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and both the weekends. I am free to adjust and be flexible according to your flexibility! I can bathe your pet(s) if needed, take them out on walks, feed and water them on time and keep them company whilst prioritising their safety.
About: I have hands on experience caring for pets from growing up in a home where animals were part of everyday life. I’m confident with feeding, walking, cleaning, and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each animal’s needs and behaviour, whether they’re energetic, shy, or require a bit more care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always make their wellbeing a priority I have a flexible routine, which allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and care throughout the day. I’m available on weekdays and weekends, and can adapt to your pet’s usual schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime. I’m reliable and committed to making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away I provide a calm, safe, and clean environment where pets can feel relaxed and secure. I follow any instructions given, including feeding routines, walks, and any specific care needs. I’m attentive to behaviour and wellbeing, and make sure pets are always supervised, comfortable, and treated with patience and care whether in my home or yours
About: I’ve always loved animals and grew up with a dog, so caring for pets has been a natural part of my life. I’ve regularly helped friends with pet sitting and dog walking, including feeding, playtime, walks, and making sure their pets feel comfortable and cared for while they’re away. I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy looking after your pet, and I treat every animal with the same patience, attention, and affection I’d want for my own. I recently moved to the UK and currently have a flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve! I’m available for regular dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, including during weekdays and weekends. Since my schedule is flexible, I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and can accommodate different walking times, feeding schedules, and individual needs. I have no other pets and a spacious apartment so your pet will feel right at home. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs before their first visit. Whether we’re out for a walk or spending time at home, I’ll provide attentive, responsible care and treat your pet like they’re part of my own family. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone new, so I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos and make sure you feel comfortable while you’re away.
“5 stars for Olivia. She is just lovely and Reggie settled With her straight away. Olivia sent me updates whilst I was away, which made me feel reassured. Would absolutely recommend and will be rebooking in the future x”
“First day sent me video of her and my dogs playing was lovely to see they was so comfortable with her Kept me updated on arriving and leaving time and how the dogs are Would definitely recommend her and will be using her again in the future”
“Juliette was lovely with Sasha. She was so flexible and understanding when I had some unexpected passport issues, which meant I had to come home for a few days and then extend my trip. She kept me updated throughout Sasha’s stay with lots of pictures and little updates about what they’d been getting up to, which was reassuring while I was away. Sasha looked happy and settled, and it was clear she had a great time with Juliette. I’d definitely recommend Juliette and would happily leave Sasha with her again. Thank you so much for looking after her! 🐾❤️”
About: I've always had dogs in the family and cared for friends and family dogs for many years. My resident dog is 11 years old now and I like the company of a dog on my walks and rambles. I work full time and would like to walk or look after dogs on the weekends and schools holidays. I can be flexible to your needs I will readily adapt to your needs and those of your pet. I am happy to provide updates and photos of your pet while you're away.

We were very happy with the way Holly looked after Missy. She sent us regular photos to let us know Missy was okay, and apparently Missy even played ball briefly with her which she has not done for some time due to her failing eye sight. We would be very happy to have Holly look after Missy again if the need arises.
Beth was absolutely brilliant throughout! Great communication both before and during and excellent photos and videos too! We were initially skeptical that a dog sitter could handle our puppy as she's full of energy and can be challenging but she absolutely loved it there and got all the attention and cuddles she wants! This was my first time using rover as a pet owner and what a great experience! We will absolutely be using Beth's services again! Thanks! 10/10

Thank you so much for looking after her! 🐾❤️
Jacob stayed in my home with my dog Tracker. I came home to a very happy dog and tidy home. So grateful to Jacob, he sent multiple videos and updates while I was away. He took Tracker on stimulating walks and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to watch my boy. Thank you so much
Maryanne was great! Burleigh was very happy and enjoyed their time together. He enjoyed nice walks, and seemed very comfortable in the presence of Maryanne’s calm and gentle natured personality. Thank you Maryanne for taking such great care of Burleigh 🙏, we will definitely see you again soon!
This is my third time of booking Ffion and will definitely rebook. I know how happy Albie is in her company from the beautiful photos she sends to put my mind at rest whilst away so I can fully enjoy. My home is left spotless and and I have full consult pet and home are in ultra safe hands xxx
I asked Kingsley if he could stay at my house instead of his as Milo health has deteriorated and he was not well enough to go there and Kingsley was more than happy to do so. I explained Milos extra needs and left an authorisation note for the vets if needed. Milo and mia were has happy as could be and mia loved her cuddles. The dogs were lovely and happy when we returned and Mia was even looking for Kingsley the next morning lol. This is the second time using Kingsley and I wouldn't use anyone else now, had regular updates, kept in touch with any changes with milo and Kingsley really put my mind at ease while we were away.
Cae is such a wonderful doggo sitter. First but definitely not the last time I will use Cae. Came to meet Beau and ask questions which I love. Beau was excited for Cae to come back and see him again. Beau was definitely a happy little man when I got back and had been well behaved. Cae is thoughtful and sent pictures throughout the doggo sitting time and was kind and caring to Beau which is the most important thing. 100% recommend using Cae. Thank you 🤩

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Swansea on Rover is £37.95 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Swansea walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page .
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Swansea choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
