“Rosa was simply amazing with my pets! This full heartedly given loving care I never experienced before from any dog sitters! 🥹 I believe Rosa loved my dog Bozzy and my cat Lucy like they were her own pets, and I am so grateful for the treats, cuddles, the quality time Rosa provided to them! I highly recommend Rosa and her service!”
“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: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I'm a caring, patient person who genuinely enjoys spending time with pets, whether that's playing with them, giving them attention, or helping them stick to their usual routine. I work part time in a local school, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and overnight stays. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I aim to provide the utmost level of care and affection. I'll also keep you updated with messages and photos, so you'll always know your pet is happy and having a great time. Throughout the day, I make time for play, cuddles, training, and keeping pets engaged and happy. I currently work part-time in a local school so have plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve and ensure they feel relaxed, loved, and well looked after. A typical day with me includes plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I love being outdoors and am a confident walker, so your dog can enjoy long, enriching walks and lots of opportunities to explore. If we come back muddy after an adventure, there's no need to worry - I’ll make sure your dog gets cleaned up before settling back in. I also have a small enclosed garden to keep your dog safe if they are staying with me and I'll make sure to keep you updated with messages and photos.
“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!”
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.
“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.”
“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 😊”
“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!”
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.
“Ariana has been great with my dog Scout! She's very accommodating and will give me full updates afterwards. It's not hard to tell that she loves dogs and will take care of them to the best of her abilities! She has now become my go to walker!”
“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: 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.

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: ABOUT ME I have loads of experience with dogs including nervous dogs. I use to take emergency fosters from the local dogs home when they were struggling. I've got experience of nervous dogs, large breeds, energetic dogs and those with special diets and medical needs. I just get dogs on a visceral level (more than humans!). I've got a large completely walled in garden and I'm close to the canal path for lovely walks. Loads of parking out the front of my place for drop offs and collections. While you are off enjoying yourself your dog will be well cared for in a stress free environment. MESSAGES I aim to answer messages as timely as possible. However, sometimes I'm out walking or doing other dog related things like playing ball. Don't worry I will respond. If you are messaging late in the evening you can expect me to answer in the morning. Rover doesn't permit us to exchange phone numbers untill a booking has been made so I won't be able to see your phone number if you send it before then. WHAT CAN I OFFER? Apart from a lovable and safe environment, walks, playtime, cuddles, regular updates and home from home. PRE RESERVATION General pre reservation enquiries I'm happy to message with you on Rover and/or do a 15 minute video or phone call We can have a chat about your dog and your needs. I am happy to show you my home and garden too via our video call. AFTER YOU ARE HAPPY AND WISH TO RESERVE MEET &GREET If you need a meet and greet in person:- I'm happy to arrange a 30 min meet & greet at my home or in certain circumstances I can visit you and your dog in your home (if you are within a 15 mile radius) PAYMENT This is made through the app and protected by Rover. I can not see your bank or card details and your money is protected by Rover's policies and protections. PHOTO & VIDEO UPDATES Where requested I will send you updates of your doggy daily so you can see him or her enjoying their stay. I am and writer/publisher of children's books and meditation music. I work and spend a lot of time at home My children are adults and have left to do their own thing so I have time on my hands to enjoy dogs and their company. I'm active and walk everyday. My home has a large garden which is completely walled and secure. Your pooch is completely safe here to run about in and out of the home with toys and lots of company and stimulation. We go for walks and outings which are suitable for the age, health and breed of the dog.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was very young, I love them more than people! I have experience with lots of different breeds and sizes. I often help with training and waking my family members dogs, making walks fun and enriching! I have my Level 3 in Dog walking training and my Dog First Aid, CPR and Grooming certification 🐾 I currently have plenty of time to walk, visit and play with your pets! I am available for walks and drop-ins during the weekdays I always try to go to secure areas so ensure safety, walks should fun so I try to use toys where I can! I don’t allow dogs in my care to be off-lead in open areas until I am confident and comfortable with their recall
About: I've always had dogs in our family from Labradors, Whippets and Spaniels. Currently I have a 2 year whippet who is extremely friendly. I have been looking after family & friends dogs for the past 2 years including drop in visits, walks to doggy day care. I'm currently working remotely with flexibility to prioritise your pets needs. I am available everyday with expectations to Saturdays (this can be negotiated). I am available for drop in visits, dog walking and daycare. I have a enclosed garden, dog friendly household. Dillon my 2 year old whippet is extremely friendly and has been around numerous dogs all his life.
About: What sets me apart is that I don’t just care for pets — I also care for their environment. Alongside feeding, check-ins and wellbeing visits, I specialise in pet mess cleaning inside the home and in the garden. Pet care fits into my routine through planned daily and weekly visits alongside my cleaning services. I schedule short pet visits, feeding and check-ins around regular clients, which allows me to be reliable and consistent. This means pets are visited at agreed times, routines are followed, and owners can feel confident their pets are cared for without disruption 🐾 I care for pets in their own home, where they are most comfortable and routines are already established. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding, litter trays, toilet routines and any specific needs. Safety and hygiene are a priority. I clean and sanitise pet areas during visits, always wash my hands between homes, and ensure doors, gates and litter areas are left secure. I’m calm, patient and completely judgement-free, which helps pets feel relaxed and safe. Owners can trust that their pets — and their home — are treated with care and respect at all times 🐾

The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Swansea pet parents with similar pet households.
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.

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.

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.
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.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
