“Our little dogs stay with Rachel was perfect. She treated Bambi as if she was her own and part of the family, wasn’t sure Bambi would want to come home 😂 Outstanding service with constant updates, would 100% ask Rachel to look after Bambi when we’re away again.”
“Fantastic first experience!This was my first time using a pet sitter, and Elizabeth made the entire process seamless and stress-free. She was absolutely fantastic and kept me constantly updated with reassurance and photos. My dog, Forrest, settled in with her immediately and was incredibly comfortable. I highly recommend Elizabeth and will absolutely book her again!”

“Amy looked after Buddy overnight whilst I was at a wedding. She was so good with him and he really enjoyed his stay. She kept me up to date throughout the stay with messages and pictures. This is the second time Amy has looked after Buddy and he’ll definitely be back for more visits soon! Thanks again Amy!”

“Neil recently looked after our senior springer spaniel for a week and we can honestly say, from the moment we meet Neil before Pheobes stay, we knew we made the right decision and she would be in the perfect hands. We received photos and updates and Neil was so accommodating it really put our minds at ease that our girl was having the best time! She had the run of the house and was treated like a princess. She had week of plenty of love and walks. I cannot recommend mend Neil enough if you’re looking for a home from home stay for your pet, then this is the prefect sitter for you.

“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received! From the moment we met, it was clear how kind, reliable, and genuinely passionate Mary is about animals. She took the time to understand my dog’s routine, personality, and needs, which instantly put me at ease. While I was away, I received regular updates, photos, and messages, which made such a difference and reassured me that Rosie was happy and well looked after. It was obvious Rosie felt comfortable, relaxed, and even a little spoiled! When I returned, everything was exactly as I’d hoped — a happy, healthy dog and a home that was just as I left it. I would absolutely recommend Mary to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter, and I will definitely be booking again. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my dog!”

Can’t thank Sarah enough and would definitely recommend! Thank you so much again xx”

We would highly recommend Carian and Louis will be going back the next time we need a sitter. Thank you Carian.”
“Jo and Jenny are absolute angels. I genuinely felt they had fallen straight from heaven 🥰. Hawk is a rescue from Romania, so it was incredibly important to find sitters who understood his needs. Jo and Jenny took so much time to really get to know him. Their incredible care started before the stay, when we all met up to walk in the forest just so Hawk could get acquainted. Jo collected Hawk from our house, while Jenny planned the adventures. They showed so much thoughtfulness by planning his entire stay around the heatwave. They kept him completely safe while still giving him the ultimate adventure. Hawk is super energetic, so they planned amazing adventures, including beach trips, then sent the cutest video of him digging in the sand, chasing seagulls and waves, for the first time in his life. They walked him in the forest and waterfalls, the pics show Hawk paddling, splashing and loving cold water rubs. I was kept updated the whole time with the most beautiful videos and pictures, Jo even walked him in the forest, before dropping him home. Hawk is sleeping soundly now, completely content after his amazing mini-vacation 🐾 It is so clear Jo and Jenny do this purely out of a selfless love for dogs and not money. Sadly (for them not me 🤣), their busy work arrangements mean they can't have a dog permanently right now, so they poured all that affection into Hawk. They absolutely adored him and he idolised them. Jo and Jenny are the most caring, gentle, and exceptional sitters you could ever wish for. Now that we have found them, our lives will be enriched, we can now go away without worry, knowing Hawk is in the best care imaginable. We have found the perfect sitters so are forever grateful for the Rover app. 🥰”
“Lauren was absolutely amazing with my dog cooper I was so nervous about leaving him but she reassured me I was sent photos everyday and she looked after him well. I will be using Lauren again fantastic!”
About: I have a 5 year old labrador and I'm very used to walking him for 1 hour daily. I grew up with dogs and lived near a farm as a young child. I also had 2 pet persian house cats as well as budgie's and hamsters. I work full-time but this is agile, balancing office based with working from home. I am usually free during the evenings and on fridays as well as the weekends. But this can be flexible if i offer a boarding service as i can agile work. I have a fenced garden so everything is safe and enclosed, i also live on a quiet estate where the road is not busy. I like to spend time with the animals when they are in my company, as long as a blanket is on the sofa and bed they are welcome to lay on this.

About: FULLY INSURED & Enhanced DBS checked🖤 Facebook business page: Wags & Whiskers🐾 🐾Diploma in Canine behaviour Hi there! My names Taylor-Lauren, but most people call me 'Tay' or 'Taylor' I'm 24 and live in Nelson (CF46). Most of the time I'm reading books or out in walks with my best friend.. my best friend being a border collie named Charlie🤎 I understand I may not have many reviews yet as I’ve not long joined Rover - but I wanted to try and make this my full-time job! So while I'm new to this app I'm not new to pet sitting or pet walking! I have experience with both cats and dogs due to growing up with both, as well as volunteering for Hope Rescue and doing a lot of work with Cats protection too. I fully understand how important it is to find someone who will love and look after your pets just like you would yourself, and that's what I hope to do here, after-all pets aren't just animals but they are members of our family that are loved just the same... sometimes more as they don't answer back or give attitude haha. I can offer my services of checking in multiple times a day and spending time with your beloved pet, housesitting if you would prefer for them not to be left alone while you're away and general dog walking too! Thank you for taking the time to read my little introduction, I hope to hear from you soon✨ I’ve currently left my full-time job, and looking to expand in other areas of my life starting with Rover! It’s something I’d like to do full-time and eventually have my own business in doing so, I have so many years of experience so I’m making use of it! Due to having a rescue cat, I’m unable to have other animals in my home - but caring for your beloved pets in the comfort of their own home is something I believe very important, giving them fusses, lots of cuddles and an active walk so they can be exercised and kept healthy!
About: We both come from households with dogs our whole lives. I’ve always had 2 dogs whilst growing up on a farm and Oli loved growing up with his dogs Bailey and Summer. The past couple years we have looked after a range of dogs whilst housesitting for friends and family. I am available all day and Oli works until 3 so available in the afternoon, leaving plenty of time to look after your pets! I work from home so there’s plenty of time for walking and attention for your pup. When Oli gets back he loves a walk and spend time in the garden. We have a fenced garden, with a park nearby and happy to take further if needed. Separate room downstairs for dog to stay in, but happy to have upstairs too!
“Definitely recommend Becca! I feel very comfortable leaving our pup Cookie with her. Such a lovely environment for dogs to be playing in. Gives updates throughout the day with videos and messages, which obviously puts our minds at ease! Loves our fur babies as if they’re her own. 100% will return to Becca, Our fur baby had an amazing fun time🥰💖”
“Rose was very kind with Eric (a rather nervous cavapoo - initially!). She met us, spent time with us and then Eric was more than happy when I dropped him off with Rose - went straight into her home. He's never done that before on a first daycare. She sent me lots of updates to show that he was enjoying his day. Highly recommended. In fact, I've already booked Rose again to look after 'His Highness'”

“She has been absolutely wonderful with Adis. She has been able to accommodate us very early in the morning, has always been punctual, and is extremely thorough in the care she provides. I really appreciate the detailed notes she takes about Adis’s wees, sleep times, and general wellbeing, as well as the regular updates she sends. Most importantly, I can tell she genuinely loves animals, which is incredibly reassuring. Adis is almost 19 years old and blind, so he needs gentle, attentive care, and she has looked after him so well. I feel very comfortable knowing he is in such kind and capable hands. Highly recommended.”

Looking after your pet in your home means that their routine stays as consistent as possible with minimal disruption. They rule the roost, I'm just there to keep them happy and safe. Being the owner of a 5 year old reactive border collie, I understand that routine and boundaries are essential. Before I arrive to take care of your pet, please provide a list of instructions and needs, no matter how small! So that your pets needs can be fully met.
About: My name is Sarah I am a lover of animals and have a cat who is 9 years old. I’m based in Tonypandy. I give your furry friends the attention they need by making sure they are fed, have fresh water, and have a comfortable environment in their own home while you’re away. I am able to administer oral medication. I cover the Rhondda Cynon Taff area. I do not offer boarding services I visit your pets in their homes where they would feel more comfortable with their surroundings. I am flexible with dates and times when needed. If you have any questions or would like to arrange a meet and greet please feel free to contact me. I can visit your pets mornings and afternoon/evenings. If there are any visits or other requirements that are needed to ensure that your pet is comfortable and happy while you’re away please feel free to communicate this in a message or at a meet and greet. I do not board pets. I offer services that require me to visit them in their own homes where they’ll be more comfortable in familiar surroundings.
About: I’ve grown up around animals and have had dogs all my life. Over the years I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds, ages, personalities and energy levels, as well as cats. I also have many years of experience with horses and ponies. I’m happiest outdoors and love walking, so giving dogs the exercise, attention and enrichment they need is something I genuinely enjoy. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I’ll always treat every animal as I would my own. I’m reliable, patient and happy to adapt walks to each dog’s needs, with plenty of updates and photos for their owners. I’m currently working part-time while building my pet care business, so I carefully manage my availability around my existing commitments. I keep my calendar up to date and only accept bookings when I know I can give your pet the time and attention they deserve. I’m happy to discuss regular walks, pet visits and one-off bookings, and I aim to be as reliable and flexible as possible.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for my family, friends and neighbours regularly and I am very supportive and caring towards animals and their owners. I’m currently going to start this business as my new job and I will have plenty of time to spend with your furry friends. In your home I would care for them by understanding what they need and how they act. I would make sure that I knew how to keep them safe in your home.
About: Hi, I’m Izzy! I’ve got lots of experience with dogs—dogsitting for family and friends, plus volunteering at Cardiff Dogs Home where I completed training in understanding and handling dogs. I love getting out for walks with dogs, even though my lifestyle doesn’t allow for one of my own right now. Expect lots of happy adventure photos along the way! I work shifts 3x 12 hours shifts a week, and have 4 days off a week. I have rotas a few months in advance. My pet care would be limited on 12 hour shifts, but could arrange early morning or late night care or walks. I'm only available for dog walks and check ins. I may be available for overnight stays however depends on my shift pattern. Would be looking at arranging a short 10min visit before any bookings, to meet and greet and show me where things are on your home.
“Kate was absolutely brilliant, Lincoln is a very nervous dog and Kate was very understanding and patient with him and I would definitely recommend Kate to anyone, we would definitely use her services again.”
About: I’ve dog my own dog for 8 years and trained her to listen to commands. I have had experience walking dogs before as I volunteered to complete my Duke Of Edinburgh bronze award. I am currently a student in University so my schedule can vary each week but I am always available Wednesday afternoons and weekends. They are other days I am available but I would have to check this weekly. I make sure my dog at home is always safe in the garden as we have a fence and a gate but make sure she also has enough area and always plenty of toys to play with.
About: Animals have always been a presence in my life, whether through family, friends or neighbours, where growing up as a kid who always loved to play outside, dog-walking and visiting all the local cats played a massive part in my childhood. While I don’t have direct experience, it was always a delight to participate in the care of people’s most beloved pets. My strongest attribute is my ability to be active and get your pet the exercise, care and attention they’ll need. As a freshly graduated University student, I have a period of intermission as I decide on my next steps. Alongside part-time work in the evenings, I hope to take on pet care as a means to stay active, interact with the community and do something I enjoy as a little extra income. I feel it is my obligation to keep the pet company, abide by the instructions for me to keep your pet happy and engaged and ensure security and safety is maintained.

About: I’m Nat, a local pet sitter and dog walker based in Gelli, RCT. I’ve had dogs for many years and love nothing more than spending time with fur babies - mine or other people’s! Our youngest dog was rescued from a shelter and came with a host of behavioural needs - we undertook lots of training with him that Covid sadly hindered, to the point that I decided to gain a qualification in canine behaviour during lockdown to continue working with him when the trainer had to pause services. I am very experienced with cat care as well and adore them equally. I also have a veterinary care assistant diploma and a PDSA-accredited pet first aid qualification. I am friendly, helpful, reliable, and most importantly I understand that our pets are part of the family (the most important part!) and will care for your lovely fur baby as though they were my own, whilst giving you plenty of reassurance while you are away from them. I have another job Mon-Fri so usually cover evenings weekends, though I can work from home at times so have some flexibility with that if daytime drop ins/walks are needed. Let me know your pets needs and I’ll always see what I can do :) I keep routine with feeding, walks and regular breaks. The happiness, safety and security of your four legged friend is my number one priority so please tell me anything you think I need to know. I am happy to follow any instructions and want your cat/dog to be happy with me as much as you do.
About: I absolutely adore all animals! I am patient, kind and caring. I would love to take care, walk and feed your fur babies for you when needed. I have welcomed quite a few pets into my home over the past year now and I know some great spots for dog walks! Please note I have a baby under 1 years old, so please only request if your pets can be gentle with my little one Currently on maternity leave until March 2027. So I am home all day most days. I work Monday-Wednesday 1pm-7pm when I return back to work. I live in a 2 bedroom flat which is quite spacious, I have a large fenced off garden and I have some lovely dog walks near by. I would require their dog bowls/food & a doggy bed. I can provide the rest. I can provide regular potty breaks as I am home most of the time.
“Rachel was fantastic! We enjoyed meeting Rachel before we went on holiday, which meant we could introduce our dog and take him on a walk together. Rachel really wanted to understand his routine and what works for him, which was very thorough of her. Great communication everyday when we were away, which meant we could enjoy our holiday knowing our dog was well looked after. 100% recommend Rachel! We will definitely be booking her again if we ever need to go away. Thank you so much, Rachel x”

“Fantastic first experience!This was my first time using a pet sitter, and Elizabeth made the entire process seamless and stress-free. She was absolutely fantastic and kept me constantly updated with reassurance and photos. My dog, Forrest, settled in with her immediately and was incredibly comfortable. I highly recommend Elizabeth and will absolutely book her again!”
“Jay was brilliant looking after dai as a last minute request. He sent pictures and videos every day alongside updates - Jay went above and beyond for dai this week and I can tell Dai had a great time. Would highly highly recommend”
“I highly recommend using this family they were amazing. Last time I used this app scruffy came home crying and shaking. That was just one night, after 4 nights with this family he came home happy tail wagging I was updated regularly . I won’t be using anyone else in future thank you so much.”
“Waffles had a fantastic time at day care, he loved playing with another dog and I had updates too. Bronwen was very professional and I had no worries leaving him in her care, I look forward to him staying for boarding as I know he will be well looked after.”
“Neil recently looked after our senior springer spaniel for a week and we can honestly say, from the moment we meet Neil before Pheobes stay, we knew we made the right decision and she would be in the perfect hands. We received photos and updates and Neil was so accommodating it really put our minds at ease that our girl was having the best time! She had the run of the house and was treated like a princess. She had week of plenty of love and walks. I cannot recommend mend Neil enough if you’re looking for a home from home stay for your pet, then this is the prefect sitter for you. We will 100% be using Neil in the future and will also be recommending him to our friends and family! Thank you so much Neil and family for taking the best care of Pheobe.”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received! From the moment we met, it was clear how kind, reliable, and genuinely passionate Mary is about animals. She took the time to understand my dog’s routine, personality, and needs, which instantly put me at ease. While I was away, I received regular updates, photos, and messages, which made such a difference and reassured me that Rosie was happy and well looked after. It was obvious Rosie felt comfortable, relaxed, and even a little spoiled! When I returned, everything was exactly as I’d hoped — a happy, healthy dog and a home that was just as I left it. I would absolutely recommend Mary to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter, and I will definitely be booking again. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my dog!”
“These guys were absolutely fantastic with Bella. I had regular photos and videos of my dog Bella and her dog Bonnie running around the garden having a great time! Would recommend her any time my dog was happy and loved her little holiday!”
“Willow has had a three day stay with Tia and has come home happy and content. Tia sent me regular updates and pictures. Looks like willow had a great time . Would highly recommend her and I will be definitely using her service again knowing Willow is being looked after in safe hands.”
“From the moment Louis arrived Carian made him feel very welcome, she prioritised his needs and nothing was too much trouble. Louis had a great time and Carian sent regular updates and photos. We would highly recommend Carian and Louis will be going back the next time we need a sitter. Thank you Carian.”
“Jo and Jenny are absolute angels. I genuinely felt they had fallen straight from heaven 🥰. Hawk is a rescue from Romania, so it was incredibly important to find sitters who understood his needs. Jo and Jenny took so much time to really get to know him. Their incredible care started before the stay, when we all met up to walk in the forest just so Hawk could get acquainted. Jo collected Hawk from our house, while Jenny planned the adventures. They showed so much thoughtfulness by planning his entire stay around the heatwave. They kept him completely safe while still giving him the ultimate adventure. Hawk is super energetic, so they planned amazing adventures, including beach trips, then sent the cutest video of him digging in the sand, chasing seagulls and waves, for the first time in his life. They walked him in the forest and waterfalls, the pics show Hawk paddling, splashing and loving cold water rubs. I was kept updated the whole time with the most beautiful videos and pictures, Jo even walked him in the forest, before dropping him home. Hawk is sleeping soundly now, completely content after his amazing mini-vacation 🐾 It is so clear Jo and Jenny do this purely out of a selfless love for dogs and not money. Sadly (for them not me 🤣), their busy work arrangements mean they can't have a dog permanently right now, so they poured all that affection into Hawk. They absolutely adored him and he idolised them. Jo and Jenny are the most caring, gentle, and exceptional sitters you could ever wish for. Now that we have found them, our lives will be enriched, we can now go away without worry, knowing Hawk is in the best care imaginable. We have found the perfect sitters so are forever grateful for the Rover app. 🥰”
“Lauren was absolutely amazing with my dog cooper I was so nervous about leaving him but she reassured me I was sent photos everyday and she looked after him well. I will be using Lauren again fantastic!”
About: I have a 5 year old labrador and I'm very used to walking him for 1 hour daily. I grew up with dogs and lived near a farm as a young child. I also had 2 pet persian house cats as well as budgie's and hamsters. I work full-time but this is agile, balancing office based with working from home. I am usually free during the evenings and on fridays as well as the weekends. But this can be flexible if i offer a boarding service as i can agile work. I have a fenced garden so everything is safe and enclosed, i also live on a quiet estate where the road is not busy. I like to spend time with the animals when they are in my company, as long as a blanket is on the sofa and bed they are welcome to lay on this.
