House Sitting Vale of Glamorgan

“Ashley is a true animal lover and a receptive sitter. He listens to what you need and makes sure it is delivered. My dog was very calm and my home tidy on my return. I hope he will sit for us again.”

Ruth D.

“5 stars across the board. Blake had a great time with Paula. He played and roached within 2 days, which is highly unusual for him. I received regular updates from Paula, can't recommend enough.”

Bartosz K.

“Izzabelle was great with our 3.5yr cockapoo - Ginny. Ginny has separation anxiety and Izzabelle was very accommodating with that. Communication was great. Will definitely book with Izzabelle again!”

Harriet B.

“My Benny had a lovely time with Sophie. She stayed overnight and looked after my place well. I enjoyed the photos and little updates she sent. Highly recommend Sophie and I will definitely be booking again if our diaries align.”

Jocelyn C.

“I cannot recommend Emily enough. She was the first sitter to be we have ever left our new anxious rescue dog with and she was not only extremely patient, but a calming presence and extremely empathetic to her unique needs. Emily came by in advance and ensure she understood Tilly’s needs and tendencies and took extra care to make our very shy dog as comfortable as possible. She was also extremely communicative and kept us informed throughout her stay. Thanks again Emily! We can’t wait to have you back someday.”

Sam M.

“Jeff is a natural with dogs and clearly has a wealth of experience. Clemmie took to him straight away and judging from the photos they've had a fab time together with lots of walking, playing and enrichment - thanks again, we'll definitely be in touch again!”

About: With lifelong experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, and poultry. I provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate pet care. I currently look after my three crazy Cockerpoos, Woody, Mabel, and Gwen, my cat, Pearl and ten chickens, and I have previously cared for breeds ranging from Yorkshire Terriers to Labradors. I am confident with grooming, administering medication, and managing different temperaments and routines. Friends, neighbours and family have trusted me for years as their designated pet sitter. I know how nerve-racking it is to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I treat every pet as if they were my own, giving them plenty of love, patience, and attention. I’m currently available full-time and can offer very flexible scheduling, including weekdays, weekends, and short-notice bookings. Your pets will always get the care and attention they deserve! For dog walks, I have access from my home to a private woodland, providing a safe, secure, and stimulating environment for pets to explore, if that’s what is preferred! While I don’t offer home boarding due to my own three dogs and cat, I ensure all pets in my care receive individual attention, exercise, and supervision in a controlled, safe setting. When caring for pets in their own home, I provide attentive, loving care tailored to their routine. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, administering medication if needed, and lots of cuddles and attention. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away, keeping you updated so you have peace of mind.

“Kelsey was great! She was really communicative from the start and was more than happy to meet our pup beforehand, which made everything feel much more comfortable and less overwhelming on the day. While we were out, she kept us updated with photos, which we really appreciated. She’s super friendly, easy to get along with, and clearly a natural with dogs, our pup took to her straight away. We’re so glad to have found someone we trust and are already looking forward to booking with her again!”

Josie M.

“Milla was amazing!!! She came to meet Arthur before her stay and Arthur loved her. She sent me regular updates and photo's whilst I was away. I couldn't have chosen anyone better. Would have her again anytime. Thank you so much Milla.”

Sarah P.

“Really delighted to have found Leanne, who looked after my two fur babies and stayed in my home while we were away for several nights. Absolute professional - dogs were really relaxed and calm when we arrived home which is always a good sign and the house was absolutely spotless! She messaged frequently, sending updates and reassurances. I would certainly recommend her.”

Emma F.

“Sent heaps of pictures and took very good care of the dog and house”

“Josh and Marcus were absolutely fantastic while dog sitting my two dogs and looking after my home for five days. From start to finish, their service was brilliant. Their communication was excellent — I always felt informed and reassured, and they were quick to respond to any messages. They sent the most wonderful pictures of my dogs, which really put my mind at ease and showed just how happy and well cared for they were. It was clear they genuinely cared, not just about the dogs, but about my home as well. Everything was spotless when I returned, and my dogs were relaxed and content — the best sign of all! They truly went above and beyond in every way. I can’t thank them enough and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring, and professional sitters. Thank you both so much!”

Joshua C.

“Emily was absolutely fantastic. She was great with communication before and during, spoilt honey rotten and clearly looked after her well, as we came back to a very happy doggo! Would definitely book again.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have two of my own back home: a Samoyed and a Poodle, which I miss very much🥺, And I’m used to different personalities, ages, and needs. They’re completely different, which has taught me how to understand each dog individually. I’ve trained my own dogs, including crate training, potty training, and basic commands like sit, stay, spin, paw and recall, so I’m confident handling behaviour in a calm and consistent way. I also enjoy making dog friendly treats and I’m very aware of what’s safe and unsafe for dogs. I’m a graduating student staying in Cardiff over the summer, so I have a very flexible schedule and can give dogs plenty of time, attention, and love. I have an easy access to a park and a garden, which is ideal for walks and outdoor time. I acquire an enhanced DBS check for added reassurance. I’m happy to help with anything from walks and day care to longer stays, and can also support with basic training if necessary :) I’m available throughout the week for walks, day care, and overnight stays, so I can be really flexible depending on what you need. I’m also quite an active person and love my morning walks, so having a little companion with me would make it even better My home is set up to be dog friendly and clean, so it’s a comfortable environment where dogs can settle in easily. I have access to a garden for quick toilet breaks. And I don’t have any other pets at home

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and caring for them comes naturally to me. I love taking my dog, Mylo, out for walks - rain or shine! I am a trustworthy individual and will treat your furry friend with all the love and care as if they were my own😊 I work from home in the week and would love some extra company! I am available most weekend for boarding and available any day for walks!l I live in a dog-loving home with a big fenced garden and plenty of toys! My fur baby, Mylo, is very friendly and would enjoy the company of another dog/s.

“Siôn did an exceptional job of looking after my Great Dane, Morgan, and my home, while I was away recently. He responded quickly to my initial request, was punctual at our meet and greet and in turning up to look after Morgan, asked all the right questions showing thought and responsibility, was flexible and really helpful in some changing arrangements I had to make, sent regular updates and photos, was communicative... Honestly, all that you could ask for in a first-class sitter. He and his partner Angie (who also deserves a shout out) also left my home in immaculate condition - even down to stripping the bed and sorting the dishwasher! I have no hesitation in recommending Siôn and Angie wholeheartedly!”

Ty F.

“We left our two bouncy boys with Jess so we could have a long weekend away. I was nervous but Jess immediately made me feel at ease. She took wonderful care of our boys! Daily walks, play and lots of fuss. She gave us daily updates with photos and videos. We definitely will book with Jess again and we recommend!?”

About: Hi there! I’m Emma, based in the Radyr, Fairwater and Danescourt area of Cardiff, and I absolutely love spending time with animals of all shapes and sizes 🐾💜 Josh and I work as a team, and we’ve been cat sitting and dog walking across Cardiff for the past 5 years! While we do both, we mainly focus on cats and have lots of experience caring for all kinds of feline personalities, from shy and nervous to playful and affectionate! I grew up surrounded by cats and now have two very spoiled fur babies of my own, so I know just how important it is to find someone you trust with them. We genuinely treat every pet as if they were our own and take the time to understand their routines and little quirks! Whether it’s keeping your cat company at home, sticking to their usual routine, or getting your dog out for a fun and enriching walk, we’ll make sure they feel happy, safe and well looked after! We’re experienced in all aspects of pet care, including feeding routines and administering medication if needed. We both work for the NHS and are DBS checked, so you can feel completely at ease knowing your pets are in safe and caring hands! We’re new to Rover, but we do have plenty of experience through other pet sitting and dog walking platforms! We’d love to meet you and your pets soon! 🐾💜 Pet care fits really naturally into our routine! Because we both work for the NHS in flexible roles, we’re able to plan our days around visits, walks and check-ins. This means we can be available for morning, lunchtime and evening visits depending on what your pet needs! As a team, Josh and I can also share responsibilities, which gives us even more flexibility and reliability. We’re used to fitting pet care into our weekly routine and prioritising it, so your pets will always have consistent, dedicated time and attention. We’re especially mindful with cats to keep to their usual routines, as we know how important that is for their comfort and wellbeing, and we’re equally happy getting out for regular dog walks throughout the day! Just let us know what works best for you and your pet, and we’ll do our best to accommodate! 🐾💜 Your pet’s safety, comfort and routine are always our top priority! 🐾💜 When caring for pets in their own home, we do everything we can to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible. We stick closely to your pet’s usual routine, including feeding times, walks, litter tray or garden access, and any medication if needed. We take time to build trust with each pet, especially cats who may be a little shy at first, and always go at their pace. We’re very respectful of your home and make sure everything is left exactly as we found it. We’re also happy to send regular updates, photos and little messages so you can feel reassured while you’re away! For dog walks, we prioritise safe routes and environments, keep dogs on lead unless agreed otherwise, and always make sure they’re secure, happy and well exercised. As NHS professionals and DBS checked sitters, trust and reliability are really important to us. We treat every pet as if they were our own and every home with care and respect! If you have any specific instructions or preferences, we’re always happy to follow them closely to make sure your pet gets the best possible care! 🐾💜

“Ethan is fantastic with our puppy Mac. His communication throughout the time sitting is amazing, and we feel really comfortable and at ease throughout the day knowing that he’s being well looked after. Thank you so much!”

About: Animals are my world. My family has had dogs since I was a teenager, and although I don't have any of my own, I am a regular volunteer at Cardiff Dogs Home. There I have experience with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities, and we work with each dog's individual needs to make sure that they get the type of walk or play session best suited to them. I also fostered a 7 month old collie cross for a couple of months to give her a break from kennels and get her ready for her forever home with basic training, and am still in contact with her new parents and get lovely updates. I have two cats, Poppy & Bluebell, who I adopted as kittens from All Creatures Great & Small rescue. As a teenager, I spent every minute of my free time at my local stables, and looked after a pony on an arrangement with his owner. I also regularly got to go and see him in his retirement in the Brecon Beacons. I also work as a freelance photographer, meaning that a lot of my work can be done from home (or your home!) while sitting, and gives me flexibility to fit lots of walks in. Before taking on any clients, we'll meet up in person so that your dog can be introduced to me. I will always listen to clients as to what their dogs need, and understand that some dogs need more and/or slower introductions than others. *** I only use positive reinforcement! *** I work with owners to tailor their dogs' care around specific needs — and am very understanding about things like reactivity towards other dogs, people, or other elements. I am experienced and confident walking dogs who are muzzled, and know that muzzled dogs are good dogs! Dogs will always be kept on a lead until I am fully confident in their recall — and would only ever be let off the lead in an appropriate area and with an owner's full permission, and with use of a long line first. I carry a spare lead at all times in case of the rare instance of a collar, lead, or harness malfunctioning.
