Pet Sitting Torfaen

“Cannot fault Chelsea in anyway. Always available and happy to move things around to help. She’s absolutely wonderful with my dog and asked if she could take him for a walk. He’s a JRT and I thought reactive but Chelsea reassured me. She’s gone over and above many times. Asks questions before she does anything such as giving him treats that’s she’s bought out of her own pocket. Absolutely fantastic sitter.”

About: I have lived with animals in and around my home since I was little, and sincerely believe that pets are as much a part of family as other people. I have experience within the pet retail industry, once working for a small independent local pet store, and have extensive knowledge on pet products and pet care. I have a natural friendship with pets, and having dog/ cat sat for family and friends have cemented myself as their pets best friend- And after many years still receive wagging tails and zoomies when I turn up at their house! Growing up my family dog was a very hungry and very friendly Chocolate Labrador named Mambo, who I delighted in giving copious walks, playtime, and treats. I currently live with my fiance and my cat son, Mister Pebbles, who is the lord of the house. He is seven years old but doesn't act like it, and requires daily medicine and a strict routine. While Mister Pebbles was my fiance's cat initially, I have over the years developed a strong father-son bond with him, and much to my fiances dismay may have become the favourite parent. I have access to my own vehicle, and can be flexible according to both you and your pets needs. I am currently unemployed, focusing much of my time on being a good house husband to my fiance. I intend on pursuing a PhD part-time in the new year, and I am excited to work my pet sitting duties around this. In the meantime I am fully flexible and available, own my own vehicle, and am able to fit my schedule around the needs of yourself and your pet. I am reliable, responsible, and communicative, and will endeavour to supply peace of mind throughout every step of our journey together. As both a pet owner and a homeowner, I fully understand how much anxiety can arise from trusting your home and pets with a new sitter. I am more than happy to field any and all questions you may have for me prior to you making your booking. Even if a quick chat with me would ease your mind, I am more than happy to accommodate!

“Thanks, Jess. Jess was amazing with Hallie. I got lots of updates and photos during my drop-ins. Hallie was well taken care of, and I'd totally recommend Jess again. Zoe”

I've also gained valuable knowledge through participating a level 2 Animal care course at Usk college. At home, I have 2 dogs and a cat, and I also help friends and other family members with their pets so I understand how important it is to give pets love, patience, and attention. I'm passionate about animal welfare and making sure every pet feels safe and comfortable and well cared for. I'll treat your pets with the same kindness and care I give my own. I am typically free most days other than Tuesdays and Thursdays between the hours of 9 to 5 when I am in my dog grooming course I have 2 dogs and a cat at my family home that I walk/let out and feed daily. I know animal body language and health signs pretty well thanks to my Usk course. I'll provide a safe, calm environment, and follow your instructions carefully. I'm confident to administer prescribed medication if necessary.

About: Growing up we always had a dog who was a special family member. We had springer spaniels and labradors along with an epileptic white cat. I enjoy spending time with dogs, talking to them, grooming them or just playing. We wanted a family dog for years but as our jobs didn’t allow this in the past we were never able to commit as dogs need so much time, love and affection. My current job now allows me to have the time to spend with your dogs instead. I work from home with a flexible work environment that allows me to spend time with your furry friends. Being self employed I am not at the beck and call of a boss, this allows me to enjoy time with your dogs. We have a fenced off back garden where your dog can spend time safely and the house is also a comfortable and relaxing environment. Depending on your dogs needs, I can accommodate any specific requirements. I love spending time with your furry friends ensuring they feel comfortable in their home from home.

About: I’ve had dogs around me for as long as I can remember and have always loved caring for them. I’ve had my own dog, Rufus, for the past 5 years and he truly is the centre of my world. I’ve also regularly cared for friends’ and family members’ dogs, from taking them on walks to looking after them while their owners are away. My boyfriend’s dog is diabetic and blind, so I also have experience caring for a dog with more complex needs and understand the importance of patience, routine and extra attention. I’m comfortable with dogs of different personalities, ages and needs, and I treat every dog in my care with the same love and attention I give my own. I currently work full time as a Teaching Assistant at a Trauma Informed School. As a result of this, I have availability on the weekends, the regular half terms and the 6 week break in the summer. I provide reliable care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they feel safest and most relaxed. I'll follow your pet's usual routines upon instruction of yourself, aswell as keeping your home tidy and ensuring the safety of your pet. I also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I understand that every pet is different, and I'll take the time to get to know their individual personality and needs.

“Laura was an exceptional dog sitter and proved to be both reliable and absolutely amazing with our three dogs. From the moment she arrived, she engaged them with genuine enthusiasm, taking the time to play and interact in a way that clearly delighted them. She carefully followed every instruction we provided, demonstrating both attentiveness and professionalism throughout. Our dogs formed an immediate and affectionate bond with her, which spoke volumes about her natural ability and gentle approach. We would not hesitate to recommend Laura to anyone seeking a trustworthy, capable, and truly wonderful caregiver for their pets.”

About: I have been caring for dogs for most of my life, with family pets always being a constant presence as I grew up. Since joining Rover in 2024, I’ve looked after a wide range of dogs, alongside many years of experience caring for friends’ and family members’ pets, including overnight stays. I also have experience with cats, animal rescue, and voluntary wildlife and animal-handling work, which has given me a calm and confident approach with animals of all temperaments and needs. In addition, I have hands-on experience with dog and puppy training, having trained our own family dogs and regularly attended professional training sessions. I’m happy to support your dog with basic training and reinforcement during their stay, if that’s something you’d find helpful. I’m extremely passionate about animal care, especially dogs and cats, and pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and genuinely committed to each pet’s wellbeing. Your dog’s comfort, happiness, and safety will always come first with me! Pet care fits very naturally into my routine, as I have a flexible schedule and can work from home when needed. This allows me to provide full-time supervision, regular companionship, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m able to plan my day around a dog’s needs, including multiple walks, playtime, feeding routines, and lots of calm downtime. I truly enjoy having animals around and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and included as part of the household. I am currently also spending my time volunteering and helping with family. So I have plenty of time to dedicate to your furry pals!! I provide a calm, safe, and caring environment both in my home and when caring for pets in an owner’s home. We live rurally with a fenced garden, which offers plenty of space for secure outdoor play, training, and enrichment, with less risk of busy public interference. Our home is very private, with many secluded and safe walking routes nearby, as well as a large garden for exercise and stimulation. I also have dog crates available if they are needed for comfort or routine, although I don’t generally use them unless requested by the owner. We do have one cat, but she is an outdoor cat, is very used to dogs, and does not come inside. I always ensure pets are introduced carefully and that every animal in my care is safe and comfortable. Above all, I prioritise safety, routine, and treating every dog as if they were my own!

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!

“Perfect care for the cat while we were away for Christmas.”

About: Animals have always been a very important part of my life, and I have experience caring for both cats and dogs with different personalities, energy levels and routines. I’m a calm, patient and naturally attentive person, and I take the time to get to know each animal individually. With dogs, I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, companionship and plenty of outdoor time, adapting to their age, energy levels and usual routine. With cats, I understand that some are very social while others prefer a little more space, and I’m happy to let them set the pace. I’m comfortable caring for pets who need a little extra patience and attention, including older animals or those with specific routines. I’m also happy to follow detailed feeding instructions. I know that leaving your pets with someone else requires a lot of trust, so I take their safety and wellbeing very seriously. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep their routine as consistent as possible and send regular updates and photos so you know they’re happy and well looked after. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy being around animals and want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable and cared for. ### My schedule I work freelance, so I have a flexible schedule and can usually arrange my days around the pets in my care. I’m happy to work around your cat’s usual routine and make sure they receive consistent visits, meals, playtime and attention while you’re away. I’m particularly flexible during the day and can arrange morning, afternoon or evening visits depending on what works best for you and your cat. I’m also happy to discuss specific routines or additional visits where needed. I know cats are happiest when things feel familiar, so I’ll always aim to keep to their normal feeding, play and care routine as closely as possible. I understand how important it is to feel completely comfortable leaving your cat and your home in someone else’s care. I’m respectful, reliable and very mindful of keeping your cat’s environment calm, safe and familiar while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and keep to your cat’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, litter trays, playtime and any other specific needs. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions and will always ask if I’m unsure about anything. I’ll make sure doors, windows and any other potential escape routes are secure, and I’ll never leave your cat in a situation that could put them at risk. I’ll also treat your home with care and respect, leaving everything clean and tidy. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos during visits, so you can have peace of mind knowing your cat is safe, settled and being well looked after.

About: Dogs have been part of my life since I was a child. I enjoy walking dogs, taking them to the beach and open fields where they can sniff to their heart’s content. I have walked dogs for family, friends and neighbours for the last 10 years. I currently work part time as I’m now retired. I only work two days a week. I am available to look after your pet during the week and weekends. I have a fenced back garden with no side access. I have 2 very friendly and dislike border collies which will keep your fur babies company. I do have two large crates should you prefer.

About: About Me Hi! I’m Sophie – a lifelong animal lover with over 8 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I live in a peaceful rural area surrounded by fields, with a secure open garden and a small enclosed one right next to my house. I work from home, so your pets will never be left alone – they’ll be part of the family while they’re here. I share my home with my own friendly crew: 🐾 Kisa, my gentle elderly dog who’s the queen of calm cuddles 🐾 Harley, an older collie mix who still plays like a pup 🐾 Mimi, a sweet 9-month-old kitten (friendly to all – except the local voles 😅) I have experience with everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs and indoor-only cats. I’ve also cared for dogs with complex needs, including those with seizures, deafness, and medication routines (oral meds, injections, eye drops – you name it). I’m happy to accommodate special care and will always work with you to ensure your pets feel safe and loved. I prioritise keeping owners informed and at ease – I know how hard it is to leave your furry family behind, and I treat every animal in my care like one of my own. ❤️ Pet care is part of my everyday routine! I live and work from home, so I’m always around to give the animals in my care plenty of attention, love, and supervision throughout the day. (I work in cimla voluntarily on weekends - can sit in that area) Whether it’s cuddles on the sofa, supervised play in the garden, or peaceful strolls through the nearby fields, your pet’s needs easily fit into my schedule. I’m used to working around feeding times, medication schedules, and different energy levels — from playful pups to snoozy seniors. I structure my day around the pets in my care, not the other way around. I sometimes volunteer on the weekends but that's as and when! Pets in my care are treated like extended pack members from the moment they arrive. I make sure every animal feels safe, respected, and comfortable — whether that means quiet time, playtime, or sticking closely to their usual routine. At my home, I have an open garden surrounded by peaceful countryside, perfect for sniffy walks and fresh air. I also have a smaller enclosed garden right next to the house for potty breaks and supervised outside time. I never leave pets unsupervised outside. Inside, pets have full access to safe, cozy spaces, with comfy spots to relax and regular opportunities for cuddles, enrichment, and play. I supervise all interactions between pets and always follow your preferences regarding routines, feeding, sleeping, and exercise. I have experience with: Administering medication (oral, eye drops, injections) Caring for elderly, deaf, or anxious animals Managing multi-pet households calmly and safely Whether your pet stays with me or I care for them in your home, I aim to create a calm, stress-free experience where they feel loved and you feel reassured 🐾

“Kim is the best cat-sitter we have had. She immediately 'got' our cat Polly who took to her immediately. Kim was just brilliant. We received twice daily updates which was super-reassuring as was coming home to a chilled, happy cat and we will totally recommend Kim to anyone and will def book her again. . ”
