“Danielle looked after our cat Bella with daily visits for feeding and clearing the litter tray. Bella can be cautious and timid with new people but she obviously bonded very quickly with Danielle - who kept us updated with daily photos. We are very pleased with Danielle’s excellent service and would definitely book her again!”

“Keira looked after my cat Gus for me whilst I was away for a week and was brilliant. There were regular updates so I didn’t have to worry about him as it was my first time away since having him, would recommend!”

“Rosa has been wonderful with our two dogs. She carried out an initial meeting visit which was really helpful and we immediately saw how calm, reapectful and caring she is. When she took the dogs out for walks, she sent us lots of adorable photos and videos of them, and of their cuddles afterwards. Rosa kept us informed at every visit which was invaluable to us as we were reassured that they were happy. We will definitely recommend Rosa to anyone, and hopefully if she has availability in the future, would certainly use her services again. I'm sure our dogs would love seeing her! 🙂”

“Lucy was fab with our baby shark/puppy! Really friendly, trustworthy, and obviously is great with dogs. Loved having the pictures Lucy took of our puppy and update to say how it went. Also appreciate refilling our cats bowls to! This is our first time using this service and we highly recommend Lucy!”


About: I enjoy being outdoors and regularly explore the beautiful beaches of Swansea - perfect for keeping your dog happy, active, and engaged. I’d love to meet your dog and give them the best possible time while you’re away. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages - from cheeky, energetic puppies to senior dogs who need regular medical care and a gentler pace. I’m comfortable with all sizes and breeds, having looked after everything from miniature schnauzers and chihuahuas to retrievers and german shepherds. I live alone with my own dog, Serpico - a friendly 3 year old lurcher cross, who loves playing and socialising with other dogs - so your doggo will always have great company. We follow a consistent routine with morning and evening walks, including time for off-leash runs, but I’m always happy to adapt to suit your dog’s individual needs. As a dog owner myself, I completely understand how it feels to leave your pet in someone else’s care. That’s why I’ll always provide regular updates and photos, so you can feel reassured and relaxed while you’re away. I currently work from home on Mondays and Fridays and will only offer boarding on these days as well as weekends. Which means I have plenty of time to dedicate to your doggo. I usually go for a morning walk with my doggo at either the beach or park, providing space for a good run around. Followed up with a chilled evening walk to wind down. We’re happy to change up our schedule to meet your dog’s needs. I have a fenced garden and a dog of my own, who will act as a sociable playmate. I would love to meet up with you and your dog before boarding to make sure a connection is made with your doggo and that they feel comfortable staying at our home.
“Cae is an amazing dog /cat sitter. He is reliable, polite, and my dacshund Oscar seems happy to see him each time...! Cae provides day care regularly and Oscar enjoys walks with Cae. Would recommend Cae.”

“Hannah was lovely. Bruce was a little anxious at first but her gentle and calm demeanor soon reassured him. It was a great introduction and Bruce is looking forward to a longer sitting with Hannah on Friday”

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.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have always been a huge animal lover. I currently have my own dog, Joey, and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds and temperaments through Rover. I’ve looked after everything from nervous and anxious dogs who need extra reassurance and patience, to energetic, high-energy dogs who thrive on play, exercise and routine. I understand that every dog is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, needs and preferences to help them feel safe, comfortable and settled during their stay. I work from home full-time, meaning dogs are rarely left alone and receive plenty of attention, companionship, toilet breaks and enrichment throughout the day. I only take one guest dog at a time, allowing me to focus on providing individual care and a calm home environment. I have also cared for rescue and previously abused dogs who may need extra patience, understanding and gentle handling. Building trust at their pace is something I take seriously, and I always aim to provide a safe, loving environment where dogs can relax and feel secure. I offer up to two walks per day, including a longer walk after work. If your dog has favourite walking routes, parks or specific exercise preferences, I’ll do my best to accommodate them so they can maintain a familiar routine during their stay. I follow owners’ instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication requirements, training routines and any special requests. My goal is to make your dog’s stay as enjoyable and stress-free as possible while giving you peace of mind that they are being cared for like one of my own. Happy to arrange a meet & greet before any booking. I work from home full time, so dogs are rarely left alone and I’m able to give regular attention, toilet breaks and walks throughout the day. I’m flexible during weekdays and weekends and happy to fit around your dog’s usual routine to help them feel settled. I offer a calm, safe home environment and only take one guest dog at a time alongside my own friendly dog, Joey. Dogs are introduced carefully on a walk first and fed separately. I follow owners’ instructions closely, keep doors and windows secure, and always prioritise your dog’s comfort, routine and safety. Happy to do a meet & greet beforehand.

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.

“Evie took great care of our little dog Chewy. She sent me a lovely update on how it went. We came home to a happy and relaxed dog. We will definitely ask Evie to look after Chewy again.”
“Katie was brilliant with our two boys while we were away. Followed the instructions and gave them extra attention! Loved the pup dates and pictures of them too. Would highly recommend 😊”

About: I've grown up with cats, but had a lot of experience with dogs as well and feel really comfortable with both. I recently worked in a cat and dog shelter in Vietnam, looking after multiple cats and dogs at the same time. I currently work part time so have lots of time to look after dogs :) I can do week day or weekends, depending on what's needed. I have a fenced garden, which is safe for dogs to be in. I also have a large home for lots of room for pets to roam.
“Kate was great. She was reliable, caring and communicative throughout. She did everything we wanted and even made herself available to greet our pet prior to the booking to ensure that we felt reassured. Would definitely use Kate's services again as she had everything in hand.”

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: Hi I’m Jacob - I’m a masters student and athlete, who is very passionate and experienced with dogs. I enjoy being outside and keeping active, and would be thrilled to take your dog for walks, and give them the attention they deserve! Small/medium sized dogs, and puppies are my expertise but welcome all ages and sizes. I understand how special your furry friend is to you, and I will treat your pet as my own and give it all the love, care and attention they need! The 2 puppers featured in my profile are currently living up in Scotland with my parents, so won’t be with me when I’m caring for your fur babies. The other 2 puppies held up by the young lady (my mom) are the 2 dogs I grew up with and loved so very much! You’ll receive plenty of pupdates from myself during our time together and I look forward to get to know you and your lovely pets! I am in the final stages of finishing my masters, I work from home and alongside my athletic career, I have plenty of time to devote to your pups in the great outdoors - come rain or shine!!!
About: I’ve spent a lot of time caring for animals, especially those who can be a little harder to place due to their behaviour. I’m patient, intuitive, and genuinely enjoy taking the time to build trust with each dog at their own pace. I love being outdoors with them and creating a calm, safe environment where they can feel secure. I’ve recently returned from a six-month trip caring for my grandmother’s pets, and I’m really looking forward to connecting with more furry friends in my local area again. That time deepened my connection with animals even more being around them feels grounding and joyful to me. I really value the innocence, gentleness, and sense of play they bring into life. They’ve taught me a lot about presence, patience, and finding happiness in simple moments. I’m open to caring for both dogs and cats i truly enjoy being around them both. For everyone’s safety and comfort, I don’t mix them during care. I work for myself from home, so I have a flexible schedule. Feel free to message me to check availability for your dates. I’m happy to adapt to whatever your pet needs, whether that’s long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or gentle care at home. I take the time to understand each animal as an individual and what helps them feel happiest and most at ease. 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 have experience caring for rescue dogs and genuinely love creating a safe space they ve always deserved. Please let me know if there is anything I need to know about your pets, in terms of special needs or behaviour. There isnt anywhere they wont be allowed in my flat they are free to roam as they please, when I am caring for animals if they are well enough and enjoy being out I tend to spend most the day outside with 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.

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!

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.
