“Helen did a wonderful job looking after our dog, Hollie, for a few days over Christmas. She was caring, reliable, and clearly attentive to Hollie’s needs and sending several photos of Hollie out and about on walks. We felt completely at ease knowing Hollie was in good hands, and it was clear she was well looked after and happy when we returned. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Helen and would be very happy to ask her to look after Hollie again.”
“Just picked up Barney from Emily and he is so chilled. He clearly had a wonderful time. Emily has been great. Right from the first contact she put Barney (and me) at ease with her calm manner. She sent some lovely pics during the weekend and her handover when we picked Barney up showed how attentive and caring she has been. We would definitely recommend her.”
“Benji had a fab time with jack and his dog, loads of photos and videos, showed just how calm and chilled my dog was, which made my break a lot less stressful. Jack is an amazing dog minder, and we have already booked him for an additional holiday. See you in may .....”
“I couldn’t have asked for better care for Miles during his stay with Rupert. From start to finish, he was attentive, kind, and clearly committed to making sure my dog felt comfortable and happy. I got regular updates, photos, and messages that truly put me at ease. My pup came home relaxed, well-cared for, and clearly loved every minute of their time with him. Rupert went above and beyond, and I’m so grateful for the peace of mind he gave me. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!”
“Kristina looked after our Dog Leo. She is very kind and Leo was felt very welcomed. She sent regular updates along with photos and videos. We would definitely recommend Kristina to everyone.”
“Absolutely faultless from start to end. Vivian and Apo were so understanding of our 13 year old Labrador’s needs and showed him so much love and kindness. Vivian sent me photos and videos throughout the stay which gave me reassurance that he was happy. I can’t recommend them enough. Thank you both.”
“Khalid was amazing from beginning to end. He treated my puppy Milo as his own. He provided updates constantly and made Milo feel safe, happy and relaxed. He is a dog lover and a dog owner himself. He was incredibly patient, caring and helpful. This was my first experience in the app and couldn't have been better! I look forward to using his services again.”
“We have just picked up our pup after her first ever experience boarding!!! We were so nervous about leaving her but would definitely recommend Jackson……he sent pupdates and said we could message any time we wanted….and after initial nervousness (which Jackson was soooo patient with!) our Scout had a fab time it seems!! Thanks!!!!!”
“Sophie looked after Ted and his sister at quite short notice. Sophie was fab in all aspects of the planning and visit and we will definitely use her again. We were keen to arrange a visit before their stay and Sophie was able to accommodate this. Sophie was lovely with us and the dogs and listened and was eager for info to make the stay go as well as possible. We were really happy to leave them with Sophie as she quickly understood their personality and their needs, rather than imposing her approach / rules on their them. Thanks Sophie.”

They will have me all to themselves ☺️ I have a decent sized fenced garden with real grass and an open plan downstairs. I am happy for them to have free roam of the house or if you’d prefer, I can crate them at bed times as to not disrupt their routine you’ve set for them.

“She was very nice and accommodating. She did communicate with me during my dog stay with her, sending me photos and message which assured me that my dog is looked after properly. Highly recommend her”
“My little pug Lola had such a fantastic time and so well looked after with pictures sent while we were away so we could see how much fun she was having! Becky is a welcoming lovely person who clearly has a massive love for dogs, we felt very comfortable leaving our little dog with her. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future ❤️”
“I left my dog in Sucheta’s care, and I couldn’t be happier with the service. She took excellent care of him, keeping me updated with regular messages and photos. He was well looked after, happy, and settled when I picked him up. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter.”
“Leo had a great time with Mollie- she really treated him like a member of the family. We were kept up to date with all of his adventures while we were away. Thank you so much!”
About: I’m a massive dog / animal lover. In terms of sitting experience, I have looked after the dogs of friends and family a lot, both in their homes and at mine. I’ve been trusted with dogs of all ages and sizes. Other animal experiences include working with / looking after horses since I was a teen (so well over 5 years of experience with animals.) I work from home, and can pretty much work anywhere so I can bring my laptop to you, as long as you have wifi! I work 8.30-5, but can be very flexible and will be able to spend time away from my laptop to have a play, a cuddle or a walk with your dog. I’m not tied to it all day. If your pet comes to me, I can do the same. I might need to pop out in the evenings for food shopping etc. At the weekends, I can take them out on adventures (walks) around by me or your home. We can also chill and watch TV or do whatever your dog needs to do! I can be very flexible to make sure your dog is happy. I can be very flexible in terms of the care I can offer - I can stay at your home, or your pet can come to me! I have nice public walkways and open spaces near me down in Cardiff Bay, or can go for a drive to other nearby fields. I can even meet up with other friends who also have dogs, and can offer a little socialisation if your dog is OK with other dogs. I do live in a flat, so I don’t have a garden, but I can take your dog out as often as they need! It gives me an excellent excuse to get out of the flat during the day. I live on my own, so it would be nice to have company. Happy to send updates as and when as well so you know your pet is in safe hands and doing well.
About: I didn’t grow up with a dog but found every opportunity to spend time with them! In university I regularly walked/ cared for dogs in the area. I know what they need for walks, meals, playtime and love. I also look after my sister's dog regularly and have even branched out to house sitting/ pet sitting for my colleagues when they’re away! I'm happy with any routine or energy level. Your pet's in safe, caring hand and I'd be thrilled to help out! I work 4 days between Monday-Friday (2 of these are at home and I’m flexible with my days in office). My full day off varies each week so please check my calendar for availability! I'm able to take walks at lunch and before or after work. Weekends are totally open too. I live in a house with plenty of room for your pet to roam, and a fully fenced garden where they can safely explore and play. Plus, there's a lovely park just a 10 minute walk away, perfect for fresh air and fun outings. I’m currently working from home 2 days a week and have a full day off once a week (the full day off changes weekly). I have plenty of time to play with your fur baby’s/ keep them company! I also have multiple breaks during my work days and ample time on my lunch to take them out to stretch their legs. I also have weekend availability! I have a fenced garden which keeps everyone safe and secure during their time with me at my house. I’ve had experience with different dogs and their personalities. If I’m at your home, I don’t take being in someone else’s safe space lightly! I’m clean and trustworthy and will leave everything how I left it! I know dogs love routine so can happily carry out your wishes!
“Kirsty looked after Spencer so well, he had a great time - think he’d have been happing staying! Plenty of activities, walks, playing and cuddles. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend, and would definitely take him to Kirsty again. Kirsty also sent lots of photos and communication was really good! Very happy indeed.”

“Lisa did another fantastic job of looking after Charlie! She’s very professional and reliable, will go out of her way to make sure your pet is well looked after. Came home to a very happy boy, highly recommend Lisa’s services!”
“Mireia saved our holiday after our friend pulled out from cat sitting last minute. From the meet and greet, we felt completely at ease . She’s warm, easy to talk to and very personable. One of our cats is a bit shy, but Mireia was super patient and let her come to her in her own time. She has an obvious understanding of cats,and ours warmed to her straight away!. While we were away, she went above and beyond. She spotted an issue with our automatic feeder - let us know, and made sure the cats never missed a meal. She also spent lots of time playing with them, keeping them company and giving them cwtches. The updates were great, lots of photos and detailed messages that allowed us to really enjoy our time away with no worries about the cats. We came home to two very happy cats. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Mireia obviously loves and cares about animals, and we’re so glad we had someone so kind to look after our cats. Will 100000% book Mireia again.”
“Ceri was brilliant at every step of the process - easy to communicate with ahead of time and pro-active with asking questions as needed while I was away. The only downside was that she’s a far better photographer than I am 😂 10/10 - would heartily recommend booking with her.”
“Rhiannon is an outstanding pet sitter - communicative, reliable, and handles one of my cat’s anxiety peeing so calmly. My second cat is a very shy guy and yet he is incredibly relaxed with Rhiannon. Would give six stars if I could!”
“Lisa is a great cat sitter, she kept me up to date with pictures and things my cats had been getting up to plus what she found entertaining which was really nice. She a kind caring person I will definitely be using her again. Thank you so much from Speedy, Luna & Pluto. ”
“Sway was really great with our cat, Sulley! She was attentive and gave us updates on each visit. Sulley was really happy when we came home. We will definitely be booking her again :) ”
About: I’ve been looking after neighbours’ and friends’ cats in Cardiff since I was 14, and I now me and my girlfriend have two cats of our own, so I truly understand what pet owners need when they’re away. I also spent time living in Turkey, where I cared for street cats of all temperaments. Most recently I fostered a cat last year, which gave me experience handling cats that need a little extra patience and reassurance. Whether your cat is sociable or on the shyer side, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and loved.
“Kerri did an excellent job of looking after Jojo and Doris, providing regular updates abd pictures of their day, I could see how happy they were which made me feel reassured. Already booked Kerri for my next absence away from home, which I know my furbabies will be happy to see her again.”
About: I owned a cat back home (ragdoll mix), so I’m very used to being around cats and their different personalities. I know how to keep them comfortable in their routine, from feeding and playtime to keeping their space clean and making sure they feel settled. Whether they’re really affectionate or a bit more independent, I’m happy to go at their pace and let them warm up naturally. I’ve had several years of experience around cats through having my own cat and looking after cats for neighbours, friends, and family over the years.
“Bianca kept me updated daily on how Molly and Flo were, 2 cats with very different personalities. She looked after them well. I would definately recommend her will be asking her to look after Molly and Flo in the future.”
“Melissa was fantastic! The cats absolutely lived her and the regular updates gave us added reassurance everyone was enjoying their time together. Melissa is very reliable, was quick to spot an unexpected and unrelated domestic issue which she did her best to resolve for us - we are very grateful for her care and attention, will definitely be booking her again.”
“Emily is a great sitter! She dropped in on my cat Leo over the Christmas period. She was attentive with sending photos and updates and did lots of playing with Leo. Will definitely book Emily again!”
“Amazing!! We left our kittens at home and Poppy came to look after them overnight. We came home to very happy little kittens. We were worried leaving them alone for the first time, but Poppy was great at keeping us updated”
About: I’ve had a deep bond with dogs since childhood. I grew up with a German Shepherd who was part of our family for 12 wonderful years. I always enjoyed our walks, playtime, and cuddles she truly shaped my love and understanding of dogs. After she passed, I continued caring for dogs by helping my cousin at her dog hotel, where I regularly walked and cared for her five Huskies and other boarding dogs. These experiences taught me how to handle various breeds, energy levels, and temperaments. Now, I have a rescue dog from Oman who has been with me for almost two years. When I adopted him, he struggled with severe anxiety and fear of going outside. With patience, structure, and positive reinforcement, he’s made incredible progress. This journey has given me valuable experience in working with dogs who have experienced trauma or display challenging behaviors. While I didn’t pursue my childhood dream of becoming a vet, my passion for dogs and animals has remained strong. I believe animals, especially dogs, are among the purest souls in the world—and I treat every dog in my care with love, patience, and respect. I am currently out of work so I am available mostly at any time except Mondays and Thursdays between 6-9 pm but I’m available any other time I always follow the owner’s instructions, every dog is different and has different needs. I always pay attention to my surroundings and make sure the dog is close to me.

“Jack looked after my little pup for the first time. Communication was great from before drop off to pick up. From the moment we walked in it was such a friendly vibe. Zuri felt right at home and we instantly felt comfortable that he’d be happy. He was excited going in and after leaving them the photos we got from Jack throughout the day showed how much fun he had with Jack and his gorgeous two doggy friends, Myrtle and Dex, to play with. The updates were great and communicated well throughout, assuring us Zuri was in the best possible care. Looking after a pup is no easy feat, but Jack got stuck in from the start and did tremendously well meeting Zuri for the first time. He was very warm and Zuri found him approachable right away, he was so settled coming home and you could tell he had a fun packed day. Thank you so much Jack! Will definitely go with Jack again without any doubt!”
“I honestly cannot recommend Rachel and Alex enough. We organised a meet and greet and they gave me a lovely tour and made sure we were comfortable with their setup. They took great care of Noodles, kept me upto date throughout the day and made sure he was taken great care of. Honestly one of the best people I’ve had look after my little guy.”
“Jasper loves going to Sucheta and Chikoo (don’t know your husbands name, sorry)! Sucheta is loving and caring towards Jasper she sends me lots of updates throughout the day including photographs and videos. Sucheta also takes the time to teach Jasper tricks and she taken the time to get to know his personality, and has even made him homemade treats! I feel very lucky and grateful to have found such caring trustworthy dog sitters.”

“Jackson is a very thoughtful and kind dog minder, Ruhi really settled down fast with him. I would not hesitate in recommending him for your pets needs. Thank you Jackson :-) best wishes prashant”
“Alexandra was friendly, kind and understanding with our little dog—despite him not being on his best behaviour! 🫣 She provided us with regular updates and Teilo came back to us happy and relaxed. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to others”
About: I’ve had my own dog for 4 years and raised him from a puppy, so I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. As a dog owner and Rover user myself, I understand the level of care, love and attention every dog deserves. Your dog’s safety, comfort and happiness always come first, and I’ll make sure they’re treated like one of my own while they’re with me. I also have a real soft spot for dachshunds and specialise in caring for them. I understand their little personalities, their quirks, and the extra love and patience they need. I’ve looked after 4 dachshunds for longer stays and would love to become a regular sitter for owners looking for a safe, loving home-from-home for their dog while they’re away. You can expect a tailored and regular scheduled time to hang out, go for walks at the local parks. Lots of attention provided! We are very active and ratio about 3 to 4 walks a day as we enjoy getting out into the fields and enjoying the day. I provide dog walking, check ins at your residence if needed and I can offer doggy day care and overnight care. I’m available for all kind of specific needs your pet needs.
“Helen and Ade took such good care of Ava, we're so grateful to have found someone that we know she'll love staying with. She clearly had a fab time with them and they obviously loved her too which was so lovely! Thanks both 😊”
“I booked Winston in with Danah last minute for 2 days of day care. Winston had a lovely time. Danah was brilliant with providing updates and also administered eyedrops for me in the day which was really helpful. I would recommend her and would happily book Winston in with her again.”
About: I've had animals all my life. My folks always had dogs when growing up from Great Danes to Dalmatians. They also had pedigree Persians cats, which they bred. So I've helped our cats with their deliveries. Since i lived in my own house. I had 2 cats who lived until they were 18 &1/2, Charlie & 19 &1/2 Chewy, my boys were 6 weeks old when we got them. I'm having a break from getting anymore pets for now. I have had my friends dog Luna come to stay for a night or a few days. Luna is a samoyed breed, like a husky but wider. She's all white & built like a tank 😊 She's really excited for everything & everything & loves spending time at my house. I have a large garden with grass & I have a house, with a front concrete drive. I live around the corner from Jubilee Park, which is great to let dogs off the lead when empty. I leave my back door open so animals can come & go into the garden. Luna loves it she currently lives in a flat & doesn't have a garden. When she comes to mine she has more space & free run of my garden. So that's why I'm calling my service a doggie spa day, they will have a garden, walks, play, space, attention, as well as the normal food & water....edit I moved to a ground-floor flat with a patio garden in October 2025. You are welcome to visit my flat to view or I can send a video of the garden. Ask any questions, if you & your dog are happy then we'll get along great, thanks Diane 😊 As I'm at home daily except Friday and Saturday. I'll leave my back door open to my garden. My garden has grass and plants around the borders. Your pet can come and go as they want. Once I've done some work, I'll take a break and take your dog out to Jubilee park, which is around the corner. We'll have an hour or so depending on the weather in the park. Then we'll come back the slow way via capital retail park and maybe get a hot chocolate from Costa. Then we'll come home and I'll open the back door to my garden again. Then I'll do more work, while your dog shouts at the cats next-door 🤣 When we go out to the park we'll play and if no other animals I'll let your dog off the lead. We'll play catch & depending on the size of your dog will depend on how long we stay out. My friends dog Luna is a samoyed, a Siberian working dog, she's always happy & excitable. You can take her out for hours & she never tires but she loves my garden & shouting at the cats next-door I'll care for your pets like my own. My cats lived until they were 18 &1/2 Charlie & 19 &1/2 Chewy. I had them since they were 6 weeks old. It's heartbreaking to lose them. I would treat your animals like my own with love, kindness& a bit of strictness. I trained my cats that when they had fights that got rougher I would clap my hands loudly & they'd separate & both run off together 🤣. If you have a way to treat or disapline them I will do that. I'm there to make sure your animals are safe, happy & well loved while you are away. I'll send you video & photo updates daily if you want. I know what it's like to go away & leave your pets with someone. I want to help you have a good relaxing holiday and your animals to be happy & carefree while you're gone. When my friend comes to pick up Luna, she was in 2 minds whether to go 🤣. Her owner opened the back door to the car & called her but she stayed next to me 😊 I told her I'd see her soon & go, then she did. I'm just happy she enjoyed herself with me. I hope your animals will feel the same way when I take them into my home or I come to yours.
About: I’ve taken care of pets since childhood. I had cats all my life at home and have taken care of friends and families dogs over the last five years. I work full time but am able to work flexibly from home every day apart from Thursdays. Monday and Thursday evenings I have a sports club 1900-2200 so would have to be out during those times. I am really happy to adapt my care to the individual needs of each animal. I love walking and also snuggling up at home. I am happy putting dogs in crates if needed and keeping an eye on them outside where not fully secure.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and been the primary Walker. I’ve moved away from the family home and therefore always keen for opportunities to walk and look after other pets. I work on a hybrid basis and therefore typically have good availability to dog sit and dog walk throughout the week. I’m happy to have a conversation if there’s certain timings for pet care or schedule that works best for you. I always ensure that any pet is well looked after and comfortable in the pet owner or my home and they’re given full attention. I only walk and care for one dog at a time so each dog gets my full attention and there's no risk of dogs not getting along.
“Emily was a brilliant dog sitter. I think she's a bit of a dog whisperer! Emily was so gentle with Bodhi and she instantly bonded with Emily. It was a hot day but she kept Bodhi cool with a flannel. Great communication all day and filled in the Rover pet card for me. Would definitely ask Emily again to sit for Bodhi, and recommend her to others.”

About: We look after either dogs or cats. We live in the city centre and both work from home. There is a gated area at the back of the apartment for your pup’s toilet breaks as required, but we live 5 minutes away from Bute Park and we love going for long walks. We have both grown up around dogs, from gentle giant dobermans to mini Yorkshire terriers. As we both work from home we can both take care of pets twenty four seven, we will take them for walks and so they will never be left at home alone. We are very flexible and can accommodate your pet’s needs. The flat is spacious and there is room for a crate/bed if required. We will make sure to feed them as per their regular schedule.
“Willow is an absolutely wonderful sitter and made our trip to Cardiff so much easier! Despite us being late every single day for pick up for various reasons, she was super reassuring and the photos of Dillon utterly conked out asleep all snuggled up made us feel super secure each day. Dillon also adored flatmate Ffi, so he couldn't have been happier! Highly recommend!”
About: I had a small family dog growing up! I cat and dog sit for friends and family all the time! Including large dogs such as my brothers German Shephard and best friends Golden! I currently own a betta fish who I adore! His name is Rango. I love horses and have been around them since I was young. I volunteered at the Animal Shelter in Edmonton for all of high school and undergrad. I walked dogs, played and socialized with cats, puppies and bunnies. I also helped around the shelter with laundry and cleaning My schedule is very open as I am currently living with my boyfriend! I am hoping to make a business with animals I love so much I am loving of any animal and am easy to contact. I will send photos and updates while I enjoy time with your pet! It will be the animal therapy I need away from work!

About: **I've had past clients warn me that my profile is coming up saying I don't catsit, this is not true I'm happy/enjoy doing it** Love cats. Always have since I was a kid. Look after others' furry ones because finding competent cover can be wretched. I've had ones of my own and would probably have some if I lived in a bigger place. Happy to help with other animals too - have looked after dogs, parrots, lizards, snakes, spiders, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, rats and even piranha. I would include goldfish too but never actually looked after them, have fed tropical fish though while setting up the auto feeder for a cat I was looking after though ;)
“We are very pleased with Kerri and feel lucky to have found her to walk Storm. She is very reliable and we were able to have a nice holiday knowing he was in good hands on his walks with Kerri. Highly recommend.”
About: I love volunteering at the Dogs Trust and taking care of my friends’ rescue breeds. I am a friend to every dog breed and temperament. The Dogs Trust has given me a good understanding of dog behaviour and safe handling. I would be keen for a quick meet and greet to understand your dog’s needs and personality. I have a calm nature and take great care of animals. Not afraid to get muddy and wash clean! I am very flexible as I am not working at the moment. I have been recovering from long covid and would like the opportunity to get out and about. I sing with an A Cappella group every Tuesday evening and like to spend time board gaming with friends Update: as my housemate is slightly allergic it’s unlikely that i can host dogs in my living room for long but my patio garden and bedroom are more than fine. If you prefer for me to stay at yours this is an option too. Matching your dog’s playful/cuddle nature, I can keep them entertained! If hosting I would take your dog for a stroll round Roath park. If you can provide their usual food that’s great but I’m happy to source and prepare if hosting for multiple days. I have a comfy living room with pets allowed on the sofa (no crate) and a walled patio garden too. I’d make sure to set up a comfy zone for them to relax with company and any of their favourite blankets you can provide would be great!
About: I have grown up with dogs most of my life and have looked after dogs from the puppy stage all the way to the elderly. I used to work at a Kennels so I am well versed in different dog breeds and their quirky traits! I have a flexible work schedule so I can meet around your pet’s needs. I am free weekdays and weekends so I can do multiple daily/weekly visits if needed! When looking after your pet, I would make sure to find out what they enjoy to do, whether that be playing in the garden or just a cuddle! I care a lot about developing trust with your pet, and do this at their pace. I’m also keen to discuss the personality and needs of your pet in order to look after them in the best way possible.
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: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I have experience caring for both cats and rabbits, including feeding, cleaning, administering basic care, and providing plenty of attention and enrichment. I also have experience looking after pets in their own homes, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m patient, dependable, and committed to following your pet’s routine as closely as possible. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and reserved, or a senior who needs a gentler approach, I’ll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I understand how important regular updates are, so I’ll always keep you informed with photos and messages for complete peace of mind. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel happy, secure, and loved while you’re away, so you can travel knowing they’re in safe hands. I have a flexible work schedule, which allows me to adapt to your pet’s needs whenever possible. Whether you need regular visits, weekend care, or last-minute bookings, I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule. I understand that plans can change, and I’m happy to be flexible when needed to ensure your pet receives reliable, consistent care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special requirements so they can feel as relaxed as possible while you’re away. In your home, I’ll treat both your pet and your property with the utmost respect, following your instructions carefully and maintaining your pet’s normal routine. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in safe and caring hands.
About: I have a deep love for animals and years of experience caring for pets of friends and family. I’m reliable, attentive, and ready to provide fun walks and quality drop-in visits. I will ensure your furry friend is safe, happy, and well looked after while you are away! I have a flexible schedule and plenty of free time to visit your pets or take your dogs for long, energetic walks. I am highly punctual and can easily adapt to your preferred routine, whether you need a morning stroll or an afternoon check-in. Safety is my top priority. During drop-in visits, I strictly follow all owner instructions regarding feeding and home security. When walking dogs, I always keep them securely on a leash, avoid unsafe areas, and stay fully focused on their well-being at all times.
About: I didn’t grow up with a dog but found every opportunity to spend time with them! In university I regularly walked/ cared for dogs in the area. I know what they need for walks, meals, playtime and love. I also look after my sister's dog regularly and have even branched out to house sitting/ pet sitting for my colleagues when they’re away! I'm happy with any routine or energy level. Your pet's in safe, caring hand and I'd be thrilled to help out! I work 4 days between Monday-Friday (2 of these are at home and I’m flexible with my days in office). My full day off varies each week so please check my calendar for availability! I'm able to take walks at lunch and before or after work. Weekends are totally open too. I live in a house with plenty of room for your pet to roam, and a fully fenced garden where they can safely explore and play. Plus, there's a lovely park just a 10 minute walk away, perfect for fresh air and fun outings. I’m currently working from home 2 days a week and have a full day off once a week (the full day off changes weekly). I have plenty of time to play with your fur baby’s/ keep them company! I also have multiple breaks during my work days and ample time on my lunch to take them out to stretch their legs. I also have weekend availability! I have a fenced garden which keeps everyone safe and secure during their time with me at my house. I’ve had experience with different dogs and their personalities. If I’m at your home, I don’t take being in someone else’s safe space lightly! I’m clean and trustworthy and will leave everything how I left it! I know dogs love routine so can happily carry out your wishes!
About: I'm a clean, tidy, considerate person who has taken care of pets in other people's homes ever since I was little. Dogs are very good for my mental health and I really enjoy being in the company of cats too. My ex-boyfriends have always had dogs which I have enjoyed looking after when we’ve been together (and been very sad to leave!). My cat Crazy Bob sadly passed away when I was 19, and my current landlord doesn’t allow pets - plus every housemate I’ve had since graduating uni is allergic to cats - so I can’t have them in my own home. Therefore this is the best way for me to have quality time with animals. I am very happy to send daily photo and video updates as I know how hard it is when you are missing your best friends! I currently work 9-5 in a hybrid capacity between the office and from home. I wfh Thurs-Fri and I have my weekends free. I am available after 8pm on Thursdays and from Friday - Sunday I am available all day. I like to care for pets by following their established routine. Dogs for example, whether that’s taking regular short - long walks, playtime, time off lead, having the occasional treat, staying on the lead, socialising with other dogs or watching TV at home, having a healthy amount of meals and having plenty of cuddles!
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs, specifically cats, between the ages of about 8-18! I’ve also helped with newborn bulldog puppy and kitten care, including overnight feedings, playtimes and toilet breaks. I’m currently studying full time at uni, but my campus is easily accessible and my schedule is very much self-made, as it’s all coursework and art based! As someone who has three bulldogs at home, one whom has many health issues, making adjustments to support their needs was especially important! Coming from a family who own a dog-walking field, and are trained in dog health and safety, I know at least the basics of caring for your pet!
“Kaludia has been very patient and kind with our dog Winnie who was initially very shy. She does a great job taking winnie on walks nearby to where we live and keeps me up to date with photos. Would recommend her to others!”
About: I have owned cats for many years and have truly loved every moment spent with them. Their unique personalities and playful nature bring so much joy to my life. While my experience with dogs is smaller, I have always known dogs and cherish the time I spend with them. I enjoy taking dogs for walks, exploring the outdoors, and ensuring they get the exercise they need. Each pet has a special place in my heart, and I am dedicated to providing them with the love and care they deserve. Caring for animals is not just a job for me; it’s my passion. As a part-time worker, my schedule varies each week, making it essential for you to give me notice when you need pet sitting. I understand how important it is to have reliable care for your furry friends, and I'll always strive to be flexible to accommodate your needs. Owning my own car allows me to travel easily to your location, ensuring I can fit you in, no matter where you are. Whether it's for a few hours or a longer stay, I’m dedicated to providing the best care for your pets while seamlessly integrating into my weekly routine. I don’t offer own home sitting services. I value safety inside your home and will follow all your instructions to how you keep your home safe for your animals.
About: With over 15 years of experience caring for dogs, I treat every pet as if they were part of my own family. Growing up with four dogs and now raising my own Biewer Terrier, Chickoo, I’ve developed a genuine understanding of dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities. As a doctoral researcher with a healthcare background, I bring a calm, attentive, and detail-oriented approach to pet care. My husband and I work from home, so your pet receives plenty of companionship, supervision, and affection throughout the day. I have experience with: # Puppy care, including basic training, recall, and toilet training. # Senior dog care, including administering oral medications and supporting dogs with additional care needs. # Basic wound care and dressing changes when required. # Mental enrichment and stimulating games for high-energy dogs. # Bathing and blow-drying. I always follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel relaxed and secure. You’ll also receive regular photo and video updates throughout their stay, so you can enjoy complete peace of mind while you’re away. I’m currently doing research so I spend most the time at home and cherry on the top, even if I go out for few hours my husband is always home to look after your buddy. Note: Day cares are only cover 8-10 hours i.e drop off 7-9am and pickup between 4-6pm anything after that will be considered as boarding. For daycares, I can provide a maximum of one walk per day, with plenty of playtime, enrichment, and companionship for the rest of the day. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, their safety, comfort, and happiness are always my highest priorities. Before every booking, I take the time to understand each pet’s individual routine, personality, medical needs, feeding schedule, exercise requirements, and any behavioural quirks, so I can provide care that’s tailored specifically to them. In my home: * Pets are fitted with an AirTag (with the owner’s permission) while in my care for added peace of mind. * Fresh drinking water is always available, and food and water bowls are cleaned after every meal. * Care is adapted to each pet’s individual needs and routine. * My enclosed, secure garden allows for safe, supervised outdoor time. * Pets are never left unattended in the garden or left home alone. * They are monitored 24/7 using pet cameras, and I provide constant supervision and companionship. Throughout every stay, I provide regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, loved, and receiving the highest standard of care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a calm, happy, and trusting environment wherever they are.
About: As a dog owner myself, I understand the importance of regular exercise and mental stimulation for our dogs. With my lovable cockapoo Hugo by my side, I'm always eager to hit the trails and explore new places. With years of experience caring for dogs, including previous pets, I'm confident in providing fun and safe dog walking adventures for your pup. Let's get walking! I have a very flexible schedule at the moment so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pet including evening and weekends I am available for dog sitting, walking and visits in/from your home. Unfortunately I do not have the space to be able to offer dog boarding services from my own home.
About: I lived with dogs (labs and spaniels) for most of my childhood and was always taught how to train them, how to walk them, and the other essentials of pet care. I currently work from home and have a flexible work pattern so can regularly take pups for toilet breaks/walks. I regularly go on long walks when we can. All I need now is a dog to take with us! Dogs will be given as much or as little attention as needed during the day, able to roam as they please. I’m happy to talk to owners about any specific requirements and we’ll see what we can do!
About: I’ve taken care of pets of every kind since I was a kid. Neighbours, friends and family have relied on me to train, walk, feed and bathe their pets! In addition to always having pets around the house, dogs, cats, rabbits, rodents, reptiles, birds and others! I have experience with both young pets and seniors and can offer excellent care and service for all kind of breeds. My schedule is pretty flexible, I'm available for different services every day. I can spend as much time as needed with your pet as I work remotely and do not have a fixed working schedule. I can look after your pet based on their need, happy to feed, play, bathe, walk, train/take to training, paint, dance together, read them a bedtime story or whatever else makes them happy!

“Just picked up Barney from Emily and he is so chilled. He clearly had a wonderful time. Emily has been great. Right from the first contact she put Barney (and me) at ease with her calm manner. She sent some lovely pics during the weekend and her handover when we picked Barney up showed how attentive and caring she has been. We would definitely recommend her.”
“Benji had a fab time with jack and his dog, loads of photos and videos, showed just how calm and chilled my dog was, which made my break a lot less stressful. Jack is an amazing dog minder, and we have already booked him for an additional holiday. See you in may .....”
“I couldn’t have asked for better care for Miles during his stay with Rupert. From start to finish, he was attentive, kind, and clearly committed to making sure my dog felt comfortable and happy. I got regular updates, photos, and messages that truly put me at ease. My pup came home relaxed, well-cared for, and clearly loved every minute of their time with him. Rupert went above and beyond, and I’m so grateful for the peace of mind he gave me. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!”
“Absolutely faultless from start to end. Vivian and Apo were so understanding of our 13 year old Labrador’s needs and showed him so much love and kindness. Vivian sent me photos and videos throughout the stay which gave me reassurance that he was happy. I can’t recommend them enough. Thank you both.”
“Khalid was amazing from beginning to end. He treated my puppy Milo as his own. He provided updates constantly and made Milo feel safe, happy and relaxed. He is a dog lover and a dog owner himself. He was incredibly patient, caring and helpful. This was my first experience in the app and couldn't have been better! I look forward to using his services again.”
“Sophie looked after Ted and his sister at quite short notice. Sophie was fab in all aspects of the planning and visit and we will definitely use her again. We were keen to arrange a visit before their stay and Sophie was able to accommodate this. Sophie was lovely with us and the dogs and listened and was eager for info to make the stay go as well as possible. We were really happy to leave them with Sophie as she quickly understood their personality and their needs, rather than imposing her approach / rules on their them. Thanks Sophie.”

“I left my dog in Sucheta’s care, and I couldn’t be happier with the service. She took excellent care of him, keeping me updated with regular messages and photos. He was well looked after, happy, and settled when I picked him up. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter.”
“Leo had a great time with Mollie- she really treated him like a member of the family. We were kept up to date with all of his adventures while we were away. Thank you so much!”
About: I’m a massive dog / animal lover. In terms of sitting experience, I have looked after the dogs of friends and family a lot, both in their homes and at mine. I’ve been trusted with dogs of all ages and sizes. Other animal experiences include working with / looking after horses since I was a teen (so well over 5 years of experience with animals.) I work from home, and can pretty much work anywhere so I can bring my laptop to you, as long as you have wifi! I work 8.30-5, but can be very flexible and will be able to spend time away from my laptop to have a play, a cuddle or a walk with your dog. I’m not tied to it all day. If your pet comes to me, I can do the same. I might need to pop out in the evenings for food shopping etc. At the weekends, I can take them out on adventures (walks) around by me or your home. We can also chill and watch TV or do whatever your dog needs to do! I can be very flexible to make sure your dog is happy. I can be very flexible in terms of the care I can offer - I can stay at your home, or your pet can come to me! I have nice public walkways and open spaces near me down in Cardiff Bay, or can go for a drive to other nearby fields. I can even meet up with other friends who also have dogs, and can offer a little socialisation if your dog is OK with other dogs. I do live in a flat, so I don’t have a garden, but I can take your dog out as often as they need! It gives me an excellent excuse to get out of the flat during the day. I live on my own, so it would be nice to have company. Happy to send updates as and when as well so you know your pet is in safe hands and doing well.

“Kirsty looked after Spencer so well, he had a great time - think he’d have been happing staying! Plenty of activities, walks, playing and cuddles. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend, and would definitely take him to Kirsty again. Kirsty also sent lots of photos and communication was really good! Very happy indeed.”

I’m glad Cocoa behaved for you and by the sounds of it he had a fabulous time!”
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.
“The absolute best dog sitters you could ask for. Elle and Tom looked after Oggie on our wedding day last Saturday. We met before-hand and it was immediately clear they are 100% the biggest dog lovers and the right people for the job! They came and picked him up just after the ceremony on the day which helped out so much. Honestly they are both wonderful people who were fantastic with our big boy! 10/10 I would recommend any day. THANK YOU.”
“Steve and Fred had a lovely time with Zhan and Lauren, with plenty of walks in their favourite place, Bute Park. Updates and pictures throughout their stay of all their adventures! Would recommend and use again!”
About: I have taken care of a wide range of breeds from Border Collie to Whippet to Chihuahua. As you can imagine they have very different needs so I take pride in understanding what each dog needs. I have also looked after various other animals, including; cats/ rats/ hamsters/ rabbits for family, friends and clients. I currently study at Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, so am fully available on weekends or lunchtime/ evenings throughout the week! Out of term time I am fully available. I have a fenced and secure back garden with no other pets. I live less than a ten minute walk from Bute Park (dog central).
“Rhian looked after my two dogs with upmost care, it can be hard to find someone trustworthy and who can understand the unique ways of two very different dogs. She worked around the hot weather to ensure they were walked at the coolest points of the day and sent photos and updates. I would feel confident leaving my boys in her capable hands again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a quiet home boarding environment.”
