“Sarah was absolutely incredible, honestly all that I could have asked for and more. She looked after my two cats for the weekend while I was away at a family ashes spreading service. Not only was she happy to care for the cats, but she also took on the task of misting my pet mantises and stick insects. She sent photos of the cats, and she fed and played with them, cuddled with them, and changed their litter. Even my elderly cat who is nervous and generally hides from everyone, came running over to see Sarah when she first visited, and began rubbing up against her legs; clearly the lady has a way with animals! She was also kind enough to bring parcels in for me when they were left on the doorstep, even one which was really heavy. All of this would be enough for me to confidently recommended her to others, but the biggest reason I think anyone would be lucky to have her looking after their pets, is that she has just such a comforting presence, and she went above and beyond to put me at ease about leaving my home and my animal family members. I was really worried about being away from them, and this was the first time I’ve ever used a service like this. I suspect I’m not the only pet parent who is nervous about leaving their pets, and having someone who is so reassuring and capable really makes it less scary. She followed all of my instructions to the letter and was also very kind about the fact that I’d left a short novel of printed instructions. Overall, she was just a really kind and capable pet sitter, and I will absolutely rush to use her again if I once again have to go away. She’d even tied a pretty yellow ribbon on my keys when she put them back through the door after her last check in. Truly, I cannot recommend her highly enough, she is clearly just the most wonderful person!”

About: I have been surrounded by dogs my entire life and come from a big family of pet owners, making dog care second nature to me. I'm proud to be a truly safe pair of hands for dogs of all sizes, from large breeds to small toy dogs. Family and friends always trust me with their pups when they go on holiday, knowing they'll get a loving home environment. Plus, I live right by huge parks, so your dog will get plenty of fantastic walks, fresh air, and dedicated attention while you are away! I work weekdays from 8 am to 4 pm as a tax advisor, but your pup will rarely be alone! My partner works from home 2 to 3 days a week, providing excellent midweek availability and continuous company. On the weekends, I am fully free and readily available for dog walking and boarding services, even on short notice. Whether it's a structured midweek routine or a last-minute weekend stay, we can easily accommodate your pet's needs. We live in a wonderful flat that features a completely private, securely fenced garden. Because it can only be accessed directly through our back door, it provides a perfectly safe, controlled environment for your dog to explore and roam around freely without any outside interference. Our home is also situated right next to a massive park, making it absolutely ideal for long, fun daily walks. Your dog will enjoy a peaceful, secure home away from home with plenty of outdoor time!
“Rachel was more than happy to do a drop-in with very little notice to check on our dog, Lola. Her communication was great and she sent photos of Lola during her visit (and Lola looked very happy!) - we'll definitely be using her services again 🙂”


About: I have taken care of pets for several friends and family, including dogs, cats and horses, as well as having my own cat for 4 years now. I always take extra care with the specific needs of the animals I am with and the requests of their owners. As I currently work in a school, I am available full-time during weekdays until term starts again in September. I can be available at any time and for multiple nights. I am very patient when it comes to gaining the trust of animals and will follow any instruction or guidance with regards to caring for your pets as closely as possible.
“Ashley looked after my elderly cat for a week, and I think she was sad that he left! He gave her all the cuddles and company she could have asked for, cleaned up after messes and was diligent about giving her her thyroid medication twice a day. Updates were regular and I really couldn't fauly him. I would definitly recommend his services and will go to him in the future for pet sitting services.”
“Rhiannon was great, I came back to Lebby having no been fed and watered and everything clean. She also played with Lebby which is essential while I am away and unable to give her that stimulation.”


About: I've always owned dogs and cats growing up, and currently live with two cocker spaniels and a ragdoll cat. I frequently become relied upon by family members to dog sit, most popularly by my dad who owns an XL American Bull. I've had dogs from the range of shuh tzu's to staffie's to the American Bull mentioned, which has made confident in my abilities no matter the breed, size or personality! I'm currently going back to university to study my Masters Degree, which is why this type of arrangement is ideal for me (and hopefully for you too!) I'm currently going back to university for my Masters Degree in Social Work which is only two days a week. This leaves me with plenty of time to have fun and keep your furry loved ones company while you are away making memories! From dogs that just want someone to sit near (who will make the best study buddies) to high energy and playful dogs (the ones that make you forget all of lifes stress while you focus on whatever they want to play with), I can guarentee the best service for them from me. Unfortunately, I am not able to have animals come to my house - the two cocker spaniels and the ragdoll cat have rule of that here! I am more than happy to sit in for the days, or stay overnight when needed! I am happy to meet first (which will hopefully also include the dog) but rezt assured no matter how we start this off, your animals are the priority.

About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets while you’re away. I have experience looking after pets for friends and family, including feeding, walking, playing, giving lots of attention, and making sure they stick to their usual routine. I also have a 4-year-old Pomeranian of my own, so I know firsthand the love, patience, and care that pets need every day. I’m reliable, caring, and happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and happy. I’m also available at short notice whenever possible, making me a great option if you need last-minute pet care. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping to their normal routine, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I’m self-employed and work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This means I can easily plan my day around a pet’s routine, whether that’s walks, feeding times, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I genuinely love being around animals and enjoy giving them plenty of attention, care, and affection, so looking after pets fits naturally into my daily life. I always aim to keep pets comfortable by following their usual routine as closely as possible. I’ll make sure they’re fed on time, have fresh water, enjoy plenty of exercise, play, and attention, and receive lots of love and reassurance. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, so I take the time to get to know them and make them feel safe and relaxed. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life and currently care for both a Doberman and a Maltese Terrier, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have years of hands-on experience with everything from energetic puppies to older dogs who need a gentler touch. I’m confident handling big dogs on walks, and I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and cared for. I treat every pet like family and bring a calm, reliable energy. I’m currently at Cardiff university a few days a week which finishes early afternoon, meaning I have lots of spare time for walking and sitting. When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to maintain their usual routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, needs, and quirks so I can give them the same love and attention they’re used to. I’m always respectful of the owner’s space, follow all instructions carefully, and keep communication open with regular updates and photos. On walks, safety is my top priority — I’m experienced with handling all sizes of dogs, including strong breeds like Dobermans, and I’m always alert to our surroundings. Your pet’s happiness, comfort, and well-being come first with me.
About: Hi, we’re Marcus and Josh 😁! Between us, we've had 6 dogs. The latest is our very sweet labrador retriever! We're able to cater to a variety of different energy needs, from the laziest to the most energetic! We have fields and woods near our house, so we are able to give walks of different lengths. Your dog can also stay in a separate room, upon request. Both of us work from home, so there will always be at least one person with the dogs at all times. We are able to provide morning, lunchtime, and evening walks. Boarding is available upon request. We can accommodate most dates! We have a fenced garden and a friendly labrador if your dog needs company. We can provide a separate sleeping area for your dog if needed. We do not have a crate, so if crating is required, we would need the crate to be dropped off and picked up.
About: I've had dogs all my life and truly understand how much they mean to us. For the past 3 years, I worked as a dog sitter along side other work while living abroad in Spain. I now live in Barry and wish to continue caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes and personalities. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, administering medication or just plenty of cuddles, I provide a safe, caring and happy environment for your furry friend while you're away. Their comfort and wellbeing always come first! I have two dogs Cooper the Collie and Luna the Rottie both very friendly and welcoming of other dogs I work from home as a designer, which means your dog will get plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I have two friendly dogs of my own who love company and regular walks—so your dog will enjoy daily exercise, social time, and lots of play in our spacious garden. With a calm home environment and constant supervision, your dog will be happy, safe, and well looked after. treat every animal as if they were my own. Their comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. I follow their usual routines, provide plenty of attention, play and affection, and ensure they feel secure and loved while you're away.
“Daisy(dog) instantly took a liking to Emily when they met for an initial intro. I felt comfortable leaving Daisy with Emily. Emily would use the app and check in and send over photos. When I came home Daisy was happy and so was I. Will definitely get in touch again if I need a dog sitter”

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 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 make sure every animal feels safe, respected, and comfortable — whether that means quiet time, playtime, or sticking closely to their usual routine.

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.

What an absolute delight Rachael was. We entrusted her to look after our cat Ellie, so that we could attend my son's wedding in Cornwall. It was the first time that we had left Ellie and we were very anxious but Rachael put us at our ease, straight away. We had lots of updates, during our holiday, which gave us peace of mind. I would highly recommend Rachael to look after your precious cat. Very, very pleased xx
