House Sitting Torfaen

“Tanya stayed overnight with our dog and 2 cats. The communication was great before and during the stay. She was brilliant with our pets - sent loads of photos and updates which put our minds at ease! Would highly recommend Tanya & will hopefully be booking in with her again for future trips!”

Fiona R.

“First time using a pet sitter and Jess made it really simple and worry free. Excellent communication and Griff was really well cared for, including his pile of medication that he has to have twice a day. Would have no hesitation in booking again should the need arise.”

About: Hiya, I’m Katya! I’m 23 and have recently graduated from university after spending the last few years studying in Cardiff. I’ve now moved to Cwmbran with my partner and his family, where I’ll be based for the next year. I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and have around 10 years of experience being around and caring for them, from looking after my own dogs to helping friends and family with theirs. Because of this, I’m comfortable around dogs of different sizes, personalities and energy levels, and I absolutely love getting to know each dog's individual little quirks! Since graduating, I’ve decided to take some time before jumping straight into a full-time career, which means I currently have a much more flexible schedule. Pet sitting and dog walking gives me the opportunity to spend that time doing something I genuinely enjoy. I’m caring, patient and reliable, and I understand how nerve-racking it can be to trust somebody else with your pet. I’ll always treat them with the same love and care I’d give my own and make sure you’re kept updated while they’re with me. ❤️ Since graduating from university, my schedule has become much more flexible. I still work part-time at a bar, usually on Friday and Sunday evenings and occasionally during the week, although my shifts can vary. At the moment I’m taking some time to figure out my next steps after university, but I still love keeping myself busy! During the week I spend my time going to the gym, attending networking events and working on my own ventures . Pet sitting and dog walking fits really nicely into my routine as it gives me another reason to get out of the house while spending time with animals, which I absolutely love. Because my schedule is fairly flexible, I’m happy to work around you and your pet’s routine wherever I can. care for every pet as if they were my own and understand that every animal has their own personality, boundaries and routine. I’ll always follow any instructions you leave, whether that’s feeding times, walks, medication or any little routines that help them feel comfortable. I’m patient when meeting new animals and will always let them get to know me at their own pace. I’m also more than happy to send photos and updates while you’re away!

“We had a great experience with Tina. Despite my last-minute request, she took the time to come over beforehand to meet Bobbin and learn about his behaviour, routine, and care needs. Throughout the day, Tina sent regular updates and photos, which was really reassuring. It was lovely to see that Bobbin was having so much fun with her and getting plenty of cuddles and attention. He clearly had a wonderful day and was very happy and relaxed in her care. Tina was kind, professional, and attentive, following all of Bobbin's care instructions and taking great care of my home as well. I felt completely confident leaving him with her. I wouldn't hesitate to book Tina again and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”

“Hazel has been fantastic with our terrier, he has a lot of energy and can fixate on movement if not stimulated. She provided him with long engaging walks and ensured he was relaxed when returning home. She stayed over and ensured he was well taken care of.”

About: I’m an insured and dbs checked dog walker. I worked in a dog groomers so have experience with all breeds of dogs. I had 2 fur babies of my own until recently, sadly they are no longer with me. I believe all dogs should have the run of the house and be treated like family because they are! I’d look after your fur baby like they are my own. I currently work around the school times mostly then once school runs are done I work until evening time. This is everyday apart from weekend, where I am free to look after pets anytime. I have an enclosed garden with a high wall. I would take dogs out for walks twice a day unless otherwise requested or is is too hot. Dogs are allowed the full run of the house and can even sleep on the bed if they wish too! I believe they are part of the family so they get treated exactly like that here. Lots of cuddles, fuss and playtime are given

About: My partner, Rebecca and I have been caring for dogs and other pets for many years, and since joining Rover in 2024, we’ve loved being able to provide our support to even more pups in our local area! Together, we make a reliable, friendly, and hands‑on pet‑care team with experience across all ages, breeds, and personalities, from lively puppies who need structure and stimulation, to older dogs who appreciate a calm, gentle routine. We have both grown up with dogs, and friends and family have trusted us for years to walk, feed, bathe, and look after their pets. We bring that same level of care to every dog sitting or Rover booking. We work as a team to ensure every pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and consistency. Whether it’s long walks, fun playtime, following a detailed care plan, or offering a safe and cosy place to relax, we always treat every pet like part of our own family! With both of us caring for your pet, you get twice the support, twice the reassurance, and a truly personalised experience your pet will feel comfortable with from day one. We love getting to meet new dogs and we look forward to getting to know and cuddle yours! My partner and I both work in Monmouth, and our routine is really flexible, which makes fitting pet care into our day very easy. We can either work from home or bring your dog into our small family run and dog‑friendly office, where there are always people around, so your pup will get plenty of company and attention throughout the day. Because of our setup, we’re able to offer lots of walks and regular outdoor breaks, and we adjust our schedule around each pet’s needs. Flexibility is definitely one of our strengths whether your dog prefers a quiet day at home, a busier office environment, or a mix of both, we’re more than happy to make it work. Your dog won’t ever be short of company, stimulation, or affection! We do everything we can to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and looked after at all times. Whether your dog stays with us at home or joins us in our dog‑friendly office in Monmouth, they’ll always have company and plenty of attention. We’re used to working around different routines, so we’re happy to follow whatever setup your dog is used to — feeding times, walking schedules, crate training, or quiet time. Our office has people around throughout the day, so your dog will never be left alone, and we’re able to take them out for regular walks and breaks. At home, we keep things calm and cosy, and make sure the environment is safe, tidy, and suited to each dog’s needs. We’re always mindful of doors, leads, gates, and anything that might be a risk, and we keep communication open so you know exactly how your dog is doing. Your pet’s wellbeing is always our priority, and we treat every dog as if they were our own!

About: Qualified in basic first aid for dogs and cats. CRB checked which can be evidenced to give reassurance. Used to caring for dogs and cats. I am available to house sit and walk dogs in the evening or at weekends. Potentially can also do early morning walks depending on location. In your own home I would follow your house rules and care for your pets how you normally do it in order to not disrupt their routine.

“Can wholeheartedly recommend Leo and partner for house sitting. They have made every effort to make our week away easy - they have been reassuring and confident, kept in touch, fitted around our plans and left the house lovely and tidy. I am sure Mojo has had a great week having lots of attention!”

About: Hi, I'm Lauryn. I've always loved animals and feel most at home when I'm surrounded by nature. I grew up in Somerset with cats, rabbits and chickens, and I've had dogs for most of my adult life. These days I live in Cardiff, where I can enjoy everything from beaches and forests to mountains and countryside walks. I work remotely, which gives me a great deal of flexibility and allows me to provide reliable care for pets throughout the week. I spend most of my free time outdoors, so I can tailor my care to suit your pet's personality and needs. Whether your dog would love a long countryside hike, a beach walk, or simply some company and cuddles on the sofa, I'm happy to adapt to what makes them happiest. I have experience with a wide range of dog personalities. My previous dog was a rescue terrier who preferred her own space and wasn't particularly fond of other dogs or strangers, so I understand the importance of respecting boundaries and recognising when a dog needs a calm, quiet environment. Before any booking, I like to arrange a call or meet-and-greet so we can discuss your pet's routine, preferences, and any important dos and don'ts. I want to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable and well cared for. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting and overnight stays, and I'm happy to discuss longer bookings where needed. I have a full UK driving licence and my own car, so I can travel. I also have my own dog, Clover, a friendly Labrador cross who weighs around 20kg. She's well-trained, calm and very respectful of other dogs. If appropriate, she can accompany me on walks or house sits to provide some canine companionship; she's used to spending time with friends' and family members' dogs and is happy to play when invited, or give them space if they prefer to be left alone. I also care for cats and other small pets. For cat visits, I attend alone, as I believe your cat should feel relaxed and secure in their own environment without the disruption of another animal entering their space. Thanks for taking the time to read through, Lauryn I work remotely, Monday to Friday, which gives me a lot of flexibility and means I can plan my day around the needs of the pets I'm caring for rather than being away from home for long periods. I have my own dog, Clover, so my days already revolve around walks, feeding, training and playtime, we usually head out for at least 2/3 walks a day, with longer adventures at weekends exploring beaches, countryside trails and local parks. Throughout the week, I can provide walks, drop-in visits, and companionship, while evenings and weekends allow for longer walks, house-sitting, and overnight stays. When caring for pets in their own home, I aim to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I'll follow your instructions on feeding, walks, medication, sleeping arrangements and any house rules they are used to. Before any booking, I'll discuss your pet's routine, personality, triggers and preferences so I can provide care that is tailored to them. For dog walks, I only let dogs off lead where owners have confirmed it is appropriate and safe to do so. I am experienced with dogs who are nervous, reactive or prefer their own space. I have a full UK driving licence and my own car, allowing me to travel to different locations and access a variety of suitable walking routes. I always carry water on longer walks and adjust activities to suit the weather, age and fitness level of the dog. If Clover, my friendly Labrador cross, accompanies me on a walk or house sit, this will only be with the owner's agreement and if I believe the dogs are a good match. She is calm, well-socialised and respectful of other dogs' boundaries. For cat visits and small pet care, I focus on maintaining their normal routine, providing fresh food and water, cleaning where needed, and spending time with them in a way that suits their personality—whether that's playtime, affection or simply quiet company. If you are away I can keep you updated with pics and videos, as well as letting you know how they ate so you can be reassured while enjoying some you time

“This was our first attempt at using an in-home Dogsitter and it was very quickly evident that Harvey really liked Doug. Doug is very calm and as a result Harvey appeared very chilled around him. We felt confident going away and leaving Harvey in Doug’s care and I’m not sure Harvey actually missed us. We would happily recommend him.”

About: I’ve always had a natural connection with animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Whether it’s an energetic puppy who loves to explore or an older dog who prefers a slower pace, I adapt my approach to suit each dog’s individual needs. I have experience caring for dogs through my own previous experience, as well as helping family and friends. This has included feeding, walking, playing, training, and ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for in their environment. I’m confident handling a range of temperaments and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. I’m attentive to details such as routines, dietary needs, and any specific instructions you provide, so your dog’s care feels seamless and familiar while you’re away. Most importantly, I treat every dog as if they were my own — with kindness, respect, and plenty of affection. I have also volunteered at a dog rehoming charity and completed core dog walking training, which has strengthened my understanding of safe and responsible dog care. I work full-time from home in a flexible and autonomous role, which allows me to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Working from home means I can offer a level of flexibility and consistency that suits owners and their dogs who benefit from regular attention, routine, and companionship throughout the day. This means I’m available for morning, lunchtime, and evening walks or drop-in visits, and I can easily adapt my schedule to suit your dog’s routine. Being at home also allows me to offer a reassuring presence, so your dog is not left alone for long periods. I’m available on weekdays and weekends, and can offer everything from regular walks to check-ins and companionship during the day. I prioritise reliability, clear communication, and planning ahead, so you can feel confident your dog will receive dependable, high-quality care every time. At the moment, I focus on dog walking and drop-in visits, and I don’t currently offer boarding in my home. This allows me to give my full attention to each dog during walks and visits, ensuring a high standard of care tailored to their needs. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on maintaining their usual routine so they feel comfortable and secure in a familiar environment. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding, walk schedules, and any specific needs your dog may have. I make sure they get plenty of attention, companionship, and exercise, while also respecting your home and keeping everything clean and tidy. I’m attentive to small details — whether that’s refreshing water, giving medication if needed, or simply making sure your dog feels calm and settled while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos for peace of mind.
