“We had such a great experience with Nia as our dog minder! She kindly arranged a meet beforehand so the dogs could get to know her and her home, which instantly put me at ease. During their stay, she kept in touch regularly with plenty of updates on walks and mornings, which was so reassuring and let me know they were happy and well cared for. The communication was excellent, and it was clear how much care and attention both she and her partner gave. I honestly can’t thank them enough. Nia will definitely be my first point of contact whenever I need a dog minder again. Thank you.”
“She was amazing, helped me out with a last minute booking, when I had been let down by someone else. Bear my dog had a lovely time. She sent me lots of updates and pictures/ videos. I would 100% use her again.”
“Juliette was so professional and warm in our initial communication, and then so flexible when it came to making arrangements for our dog, Baloo, She was very friendly and welcoming when we arrived, and clearly loves dogs! Baloo instantly took to her and it was clear that they were going to have a great weekend. Juliette sent regular updates and photos, and we could relax knowing Baloo was in great hands. We definitely recommend Juliette as a dog sitter, and would happily get back in touch if we’re in the Swansea area again and are in need of dog care. Thank you, Juliette!”
“Susana is a wonderful sitter. She send pictures and updates about our dog and is always quick to respond to messages. Macey is wonderfully looked after and I can't recommend Susana and Mario enough.”
“Wonderful! Our Lucy was well looked after and I had complete peace of mind. Lovely to see photo updates , I think she had fun with your beautiful dogs. Thanks for giving Lucy a great time, so much better than any kennel experience, we'd definitely love for Lucy to come again.”
“Gayathri looked after my dog Ada for a full day (7am–7pm) at quite short notice. She was really accommodating with the timing and I got thoughtful updates during the day, which was very reassuring. When I picked Ada up, I could tell from her relaxed behaviour with both Gayathri and me that she had been well cared for.”
About: I have had pets from a very young age, hand reared puppies & current animal slave to my small one eyed shih tzu Betsie. She is a senior girl so I have experience of senior dogs, administering medication etc is not an issue. We can provide a loving home from home pets are allowed on sofas and beds if that’s their thing (it’s certainly Betsie’s!!) I will provide a safe fun loving environment whilst your pet is in my care. 🐾 Currently available 7 days a week, 24/7. We would love for your pet to join us on our weekend adventures or just chill with my senior girl Betsie I have a large tiered garden, which is fenced off and a padlock on the gate. My house is also safe and secure. Pets will never be left alone.
“Kingsley was a 10 out of 10 looking after Ozzy, we were a bit nervous as Ozzy can be a bit anxious sometimes, but since the first meet-up Kingsley was very clear about his rules to make sure that Ozzy feels safe and happy during the stay, that and the constant updates through the weekend gave us loads of reassurance to book with Kingsley on next ocasions.”
“Rhiannon was amazing, we booked for a weekend stay for our 15 year old dog and he absolutely loved it. I received constant updated with photos. I needed an emergency over night sit as our car broke down and Rhiannon was brill and it wasn't an issue. We shall definitely be visiting again :) 10 stars if I could!”
About: I enjoy being outdoors and regularly explore the beautiful beaches of Swansea - perfect for keeping your dog happy, active, and engaged. I’d love to meet your dog and give them the best possible time while you’re away. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages - from cheeky, energetic puppies to senior dogs who need regular medical care and a gentler pace. I’m comfortable with all sizes and breeds, having looked after everything from miniature schnauzers and chihuahuas to retrievers and german shepherds. I live alone with my own dog, Serpico - a friendly 3 year old lurcher cross, who loves playing and socialising with other dogs - so your doggo will always have great company. We follow a consistent routine with morning and evening walks, including time for off-leash runs, but I’m always happy to adapt to suit your dog’s individual needs. As a dog owner myself, I completely understand how it feels to leave your pet in someone else’s care. That’s why I’ll always provide regular updates and photos, so you can feel reassured and relaxed while you’re away. I currently work from home on Mondays and Fridays and will only offer boarding on these days as well as weekends. Which means I have plenty of time to dedicate to your doggo. I usually go for a morning walk with my doggo at either the beach or park, providing space for a good run around. Followed up with a chilled evening walk to wind down. We’re happy to change up our schedule to meet your dog’s needs. I have a fenced garden and a dog of my own, who will act as a sociable playmate. I would love to meet up with you and your dog before boarding to make sure a connection is made with your doggo and that they feel comfortable staying at our home.
“We left our dog Leia with Sophie for the weekend, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. This was the first time we’ve left Leia with anyone other than family and she made us feel at ease. We received regular updates and videos, which really made a difference and reassured us while we were away. Leia came home happy and clearly very well looked after. We wouldn’t hesitate to use them again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog boarder. Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of Leia!😊”
About: I started my journey on rover while I was in university in 2022, and having furry companions made my uni experience so much better. I now work full time, from home, so it would be great to still care for new furry friends! I’m currently working full time but I work from home so am very flexible and would love to look after your four legged friends! I love nature and walking, so your dogs will always the excersice needed with me. I’ve had experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes, and love every one of them! I’m well equipped to deal with bigger, more high maintenance dogs due managing my own reactive GSD. When at home, I love to explore with my dog Oatie. Oatie is a very temperamental dog, who can be reactive at times, leaving me with plenty of experience with dogs that can be tricky to handle, especially around strangers or other dogs.
“Amy was amazing looking after my dog Jude who was made to feel immediately at home and was given the love and attention you would give your own pet. She checked on all Judes normal daily requirements and accommodated these perfectly. There was plenty of walks and lots of wonderful picture updates leaving me in no doubt that Jude was quite at home. I wouldn't hesitate in using Amy again.”
About: I have taken care of friend's dogs and owned dogs for the last 20 years. We offer a calm family environment with one 8 year old child who is used to having dogs around. We had a French bulldog for 15 years and now have a very gentle and loving labradoodle who loves the company of other dogs, small and large. We have a good sized fenced garden and have lots of lovely dog walking areas nearby. I work from home so I am able to make sure your dog gets lots of opportunities for toilet breaks and walks 🐾 I work from home and I am here the majority the time to care for your dog. We already have a dog who loves to explore the local area and would love another dog for company. My daughter is a very calm child and we have a very quiet home I have a fenced garden and a very friendly dog who loves playing. We are used to crating dogs so can accommodate that, if its your preference.
“Would million % recommend Beth and partner to anyone. Our sandy stayed there from Friday to Monday. She went for long walks across the beach everyday and Beth sent pictures and videos of them. Amazing. Sandy was so comfortable with them and she is a shy dog. Will be using Beth again asap and sandy can’t wait haha”
“Cant thank Joshua and his partner enough for looking after Marla. Was always having photos/videos being sent to me. Marla loved her stay with them and their dog Toby. She’ will definitely be going back when I go away again 😊”
“First time leaving Freya so was a bit anxious. I didn’t need to be. Marryanne was very reassuring when she arrived to pick up Freya. Sent me photos off Freya on her runs on the beach. Will deffo use marryanne again in the future”

“A family emergency meant we had to book Lisa at short notice and as usual she was ready and willing to look after Timmy. She gave us daily photo updates and made sure he had food, fuss and fresh water as well as setting our post aside. SHe was also on hand to extend her visits when we had to stay a few days longer. Thank you as usual!”
“Julie is an absolute gem! We’ve had the pleasure of using her service before and she never fails to impress. So attentive, gentle, and genuinely passionate about what she does. It feels less like hiring a sitter and more like leaving your cat with a friend. Highly recommend!”
“Rosa was absolutely amazing with my four cats and Guinea pig. We’ve used many sitters before but I can honestly say Rosa is the best. She is so good with the animals and you can tell she truly cares about them. She was brilliant on her communication with us when we were away, sending daily updates and pictures (which we’d asked her to do because we were worried about one cat in particular). I will definitely be using Rosa again when we go away next and would recommend her to anybody looking for a kind, caring and reliable pet sitter. Thank you Rosa! X”
“A big thank you to Hannah for looking after my 3 Kitties. They’ve all got very different needs, with one of them being a kitten, yet Hannah was able to cater to each of them individually. One of my boys is very timid and anxious with anyone other than me, however he warmed up to Hannah very quickly which allowed me to relax on my trips away. I will definitely be using Hannah for my next trip, thanks again”
“Keira is a fantastic pet sitter! After a lovely meet & greet, I booked her for some drop in visits for my cat. My cat is nervous and hides from strangers, but Keira was patient and understanding with her. Keira even spent time helping my cat out of her hiding spot with her favourite treats. She didn't just put food down and walk away, which would have been the easier option! Keira had excellent communication during her drop-ins and provided lovely updates and photos. My cat was well fed, the litter box was spotless and she was well looked after. Thank you so much Keira!”
“Cae is an amazing dog /cat sitter. He is reliable, polite, and my dacshund Oscar seems happy to see him each time...! Cae provides day care regularly and Oscar enjoys walks with Cae. Would recommend Cae.”
“Sian was absolutely amazing with my cat Izzy. She made her feel safe, comfortable and respected her boundaries. I received plenty of updates with pictures and videos and it made me feel at ease because I always feel anxious leaving Izzy alone. I can't thank you enough for looking after my fur baby and I will definitely ask you to look after her again. Thank you! 😊 ❤️xxx”
“Kylie is fab we've had her sit for us a few times and she never fails to amaze keeps my cats well looked after and calm especially my timid cat dobby when we came home they were happy and fed and my home was just the way I left it would highly recommend and I will be booking again”
“Thank you so much for looking after Neo. I appreciated the updates on how he was doing and the photos/videos sent. I felt relaxed and confident he was being well looked after. Thank you being very friendly, I’m sure Neo enjoyed his stay.”
“Danielle was amazing from start to finish looking after our cat. She kept us fully updated every day and we really enjoyed the pictures she sent us. Already looking at her availability for our summer holidays”
“Kate was absolutely fantastic! She took great care of my cat while I was on holiday. It was so reassuring to know my pet was in such good hands. Communication was easy—Kate was always quick to respond and kept me updated throughout. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
About: I grew up in a rural area and we always had cats, so caring for them has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I've lived with many cats and have always loved being around animals. I understand that every cat is different, some love attention while others prefer their own space, and I'm happy to adapt to their individual personalities. Whether it's feeding, litter box cleaning, play sessions, or simply providing company, I'll make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away.
“Arianna is absolutely amazing we use her regularly due to our work and she is always on time and the boys absolutely love her! She does everything I ask for and more! Couldn’t recommend her more”
About: What sets me apart is that I don’t just care for pets — I also care for their environment. Alongside feeding, check-ins and wellbeing visits, I specialise in pet mess cleaning inside the home and in the garden. Pet care fits into my routine through planned daily and weekly visits alongside my cleaning services. I schedule short pet visits, feeding and check-ins around regular clients, which allows me to be reliable and consistent. This means pets are visited at agreed times, routines are followed, and owners can feel confident their pets are cared for without disruption 🐾 I care for pets in their own home, where they are most comfortable and routines are already established. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding, litter trays, toilet routines and any specific needs. Safety and hygiene are a priority. I clean and sanitise pet areas during visits, always wash my hands between homes, and ensure doors, gates and litter areas are left secure. I’m calm, patient and completely judgement-free, which helps pets feel relaxed and safe. Owners can trust that their pets — and their home — are treated with care and respect at all times 🐾
About: ABOUT ME I have loads of experience with dogs including nervous dogs. I use to take emergency fosters from the local dogs home when they were struggling. I've got experience of nervous dogs, large breeds, energetic dogs and those with special diets and medical needs. I just get dogs on a visceral level (more than humans!). I've got a large completely walled in garden and I'm close to the canal path for lovely walks. Loads of parking out the front of my place for drop offs and collections. While you are off enjoying yourself your dog will be well cared for in a stress free environment. MESSAGES I aim to answer messages as timely as possible. However, sometimes I'm out walking or doing other dog related things like playing ball. Don't worry I will respond. If you are messaging late in the evening you can expect me to answer in the morning. Rover doesn't permit us to exchange phone numbers untill a booking has been made so I won't be able to see your phone number if you send it before then. WHAT CAN I OFFER? Apart from a lovable and safe environment, walks, playtime, cuddles, regular updates and home from home. PRE RESERVATION General pre reservation enquiries I'm happy to message with you on Rover and/or do a 15 minute video or phone call We can have a chat about your dog and your needs. I am happy to show you my home and garden too via our video call. AFTER YOU ARE HAPPY AND WISH TO RESERVE MEET &GREET If you need a meet and greet in person:- I'm happy to arrange a 30 min meet & greet at my home or in certain circumstances I can visit you and your dog in your home (if you are within a 15 mile radius) PAYMENT This is made through the app and protected by Rover. I can not see your bank or card details and your money is protected by Rover's policies and protections. PHOTO & VIDEO UPDATES Where requested I will send you updates of your doggy daily so you can see him or her enjoying their stay. I am and writer/publisher of children's books and meditation music. I work and spend a lot of time at home My children are adults and have left to do their own thing so I have time on my hands to enjoy dogs and their company. I'm active and walk everyday. My home has a large garden which is completely walled and secure. Your pooch is completely safe here to run about in and out of the home with toys and lots of company and stimulation. We go for walks and outings which are suitable for the age, health and breed of the dog.
About: I have looked after cats for friends and family for a number of years. All of them have very different personalities and varying levels of tolerance for humans so I take their lead on how much interaction they want. My mum’s cat can be quite aggressive if touched when she doesn’t want to be. However, when sitting on the sofa she will be happy to come and sit on my lap for a snuggle. Last year I looked after my friend’s two cats for a week at her house, while she was on holiday. They are quite anxious cats and were initially quite wary of me but I made time to play with them and by the end of the week they were happy to sit near me and let me stroke them. I made sure to keep my friend regularly updated throughout the week, which she appreciated. She has asked me to look after them again this year, and said it really put her mind at rest to know they were so well looked after while she was away.

About: I’ve looked after several dogs and cats in the last few years of varying ages and sizes, both at my home and the owner’s. Most recently, I sat for a very cute Lurcher puppy at his home three days a week, for four months last summer, helping to toilet and crate train him, and playing with him throughout the day while ensuring he got enough rest. I have looked after him on the odd occasion since and he is always very excited to see me. I have also looked after an 11 year old Dalmatian on three different occasions for 3-6 weeks at a time and we have formed a close bond. He feels comfortable in my home and needs quite a lot exercise so we enjoy lots of long walks together. When I first looked after him he could be quite reactive and would pull on the lead a lot, but we have done quite a bit of work together and he is much calmer now. I’ve also had the pleasure of caring for the sweetest 11 year old Miniature Schnauzer on several occasions for a few days at a time, making lots of time for snuggles but also taking her down to the beach where she loves to explore. I’ve also housesat for friends and family, looking after their cats while they were on holiday. My friend’s cats were quite nervous so I was happy to take their lead on how close I got. While they were wary to begin with, they would happily sit with me and let me stroke them by the end of the week. My friends have asked me to catsit again this September. All in all, the fact that owners have trusted me to look after their pets for long periods of time and on more than one occasion shows that I am reliable and will care for your pet like they are my own, with the utmost love, care and attention. The owners have also appreciated the regular updates and pictures I send and I will always make sure to do the same for you. I work from home four days a week and can be flexible on location so am happy to come to yours or look after your pet at my house. I’m available during the week and at weekends for quick drop ins, a full day or for boarding, from one night to several weeks at a time if required. I have a large, enclosed garden for your pet to have a good run around if needed. There are also lots of good walks nearby, including a park and the beach is nearby. I live alone and don’t have any pets or children, so can provide a calm, secure space. My work is quite flexible so I can make time to play with your pet and show them the love and attention they need. Also happy to crate if required.
About: Hi I’m Jacob - I’m a masters student and athlete, who is very passionate and experienced with dogs. I enjoy being outside and keeping active, and would be thrilled to take your dog for walks, and give them the attention they deserve! Small/medium sized dogs, and puppies are my expertise but welcome all ages and sizes. I understand how special your furry friend is to you, and I will treat your pet as my own and give it all the love, care and attention they need! The 2 puppers featured in my profile are currently living up in Scotland with my parents, so won’t be with me when I’m caring for your fur babies. The other 2 puppies held up by the young lady (my mom) are the 2 dogs I grew up with and loved so very much! You’ll receive plenty of pupdates from myself during our time together and I look forward to get to know you and your lovely pets! I am in the final stages of finishing my masters, I work from home and alongside my athletic career, I have plenty of time to devote to your pups in the great outdoors - come rain or shine!!!
“An excellent dogsitter! Nia was welcoming, knowledgeable and friendly. She introduced Deedee to the other dog there carefully and made sure they felt secure before encouraging them to play (or if they preferred, just lie together). Deedee loves other dogs and had lots of fun running around Nia's lovely garden. Nia also kept me updated on how Deedee was doing throughout the day. I felt relaxed and happy knowing Deedee was being so well-cared for. I'd definitely recommend Nia to anyone looking for great dog care.”
“I feel so lucky to have found such a lovely day care setting for Deedee. Dana is professional, caring and kind. Also very patient (as Deedee is a busy and inquisitive pup). Highly recommended.”
“Amy looked after our golden Suki for the first time this week and I couldn't recommend her enough. The booking was last minute due to a change in work but Amy was able to provide doggy daycare for us. When Suki arrived she was a bit nervous and had an accident, Amy handled this wonderfully and put our mind at ease. Amy also took Suki on two walks seeking permission prior. I was able to ask questions and she kept in contact throughout the day with updates and pictures. I was really nervous leaving Suki with a stranger but would absolutely rebook Amy in the future. Thank you so much, she had a wonderful day ❤️”
About: I enjoy being outdoors and regularly explore the beautiful beaches of Swansea - perfect for keeping your dog happy, active, and engaged. I’d love to meet your dog and give them the best possible time while you’re away.

About: I've always had dogs in our family from Labradors, Whippets and Spaniels. Currently I have a 2 year whippet who is extremely friendly.

Dillon my 2 year old whippet is extremely friendly and has been around numerous dogs all his life.
“Kingsley looked after our dog so well. He sent us photos regularly and kept us informed of their activities. He’s so calm and calming. Our dog was happy throughout.”
“Maryanne is a great dog sitter. She arrived on time and Mabel loved being with her. Communication is great, she is conscientious, reliable and Mabel was happy to spend time with her. We recommend her!”
About: Dogs have always been in my life. My best friend Jake devastatingly passed away last year who with me and my dad had raised since a pup as a rescue Stafie. This bereavement has made me treasure dogs and all animals alike much more, they rely on us and give their unconditional love and I want to give back and make their lives filled with fun and enjoyment. I have experience with all sorts of dogs, from different breeds such as Staffies and Labrador, from young energetic balls of energy to the seniors who love and deserve to be pampered in their old age. I'm currently a final year animation student on my summer holidays and looking to look after our furry friends. My schedule is very flexible until September after this I will update my schedule to reflect this as soon as I know my class dates. For now however I am free every week day. I have a large front garden, and a back garden (not fenced), however lots of large fields, woodland and trails in my local area. I would care for your dog as my own and treat them as the best, they would be well fed and played with lots. I would be honoured to build a relationship with them, a relationship built on trust and loyalty, values that I have been brought up with and built upon with my own dog who is sadly no longer with us.
“Gayathri has been a wonderful person in taking care of Pepper! Pepper was taken for walks and had a wonderful time! He didn't have a heart to leave Gayathri's to get back to us :) look forward to book again! Thank you so much!”
About: Animals have always been at the center of my life — both dogs and cats are family to me, not just pets. Caring for them isn’t something I switch off from; it’s simply who I am. Every time I go on holiday, I make sure I’m prepared — I’ve even carried a 6kg bag of animal food in my rucksack while hiking up mountains, just to ensure animals are fed and cared for (with photos to prove it). I share my life with my own cat and understand feline behavior deeply, from quiet communication to respecting boundaries. I’ve trained my cat using positive reinforcement, including recall, sit, paw, high five, and spin. I also have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels, always with patience, structure, and love. I currently volunteer at Llys Nini Cattery, where I’m surrounded by cats daily and care for a wide range of personalities — from shy and nervous to confident and playful. Every animal I look after receives the same devotion, respect, and attention I give my own. Special Skills • 🐾 Experienced with both dogs and cats • 🧠 Strong understanding of animal body language & behavior • 🐕 Excellent recall and basic training support • 🐈 Positive-reinforcement training for cats and dogs • 💖 Especially good with anxious, shy, or rescue animals • 🧘 Calm, reassuring presence that helps animals feel safe • 💊 Comfortable with basic medication administration • 🧼 Attentive to routine, hygiene, and enrichment • 📸 Regular updates and photos for peace of mind Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I currently volunteer at Llys Nini and am not working, as I’m focusing on pursuing my passion for animal care. This gives me a very flexible schedule, allowing me to provide attentive, unrushed care and adapt fully to each pet’s needs. I care for pets both at my home and at the owner’s house, depending on what works best for them. My home has a large, fully walled garden, giving dogs plenty of space to run, play, and explore safely. I provide structured walks, playtime, and mental stimulation, as well as a calm environment for pets to relax. At an owner’s home, I follow their routines closely — feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special needs or medications — to ensure pets feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I also make sure pets have plenty of attention, affection, and supervision, whether inside or outside, and I always keep their space clean, safe, and enriched so they feel happy, secure, and loved.
About: I have been responsible for my family Labrador Sonny for the last 12 years. My absolute heart and soul! I walk dogs locally in my spare time, pairing my love for the outdoors and my passion for dogs. I also have experience dog sitting in exchange for accomodation abroad which I absolutely love doing! Please feel free to contact me about anything you might need, my schedule is very flexible and I’m always happy to help out in anyway I can:) thank you for considering me. I work a zero hour hospitality job, so usually my work schedule can tailor to your needs. A usual day looks like a healthy breakfast, a big long walk usually between a hour-two hours, then I go to work usually not more than a 5 hour shift, I like cosy evenings at home or strolling on the beach. I genuinely have such a good routine for a dog to slot right in I believe. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after in either my home or the owner’s home. I follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any specific care instructions. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship to keep them happy and relaxed. I also maintain a clean environment, monitor their health and behavior, and keep owners updated with messages or photos for peace of mind. I have a fenced garden and live right on the beach for plenty of outdoor time. Also a large park close by!
About: I have a young Labrador who is after a companion! Friends and family have always come to me to look after their dogs over the years. I have dropped into their homes to take them for a walk, I have stayed in their home, and dogs have stayed in my own home. I always make sure the times are full of lots of fun and love! I’ve been on the rover app for a while now and am really enjoying meeting different dogs with different personalities☺️ A lot of my work is from home and I typically work out of the house in the morning or evening for a few hours. Im self employed so my schedule is flexible. I have a fenced garden, a lovely woodland and park walk situated right by my house. I am also only a short drive from a lovely beach! I have a really friendly pup who will keep your pet company.
“Katie was truly fantastic from the start of conversations, to the way she met us and the way she cared for Millie. Millie’s a nervy dog with mega separation anxiety but Katie clearly handled this with aplomb and managed to keep her happy all day long, m which is a real feat! Katie went out of her way to keep in touch, sending lovely photos and reassuring me all the way. You won’t find a more lovely girl to watch your dogs. Someone you can really trust your most special friend too. If I could give 100 stars, I would. Thanks again Katie.”

It's a 10/10 from us and Casey agrees wholeheartedly We highly recommend Sophia 😀”

I love being outdoors and am a confident walker, so your dog can enjoy long, enriching walks and lots of opportunities to explore. If we come back muddy after an adventure, there's no need to worry - I’ll make sure your dog gets cleaned up before settling back in. I also have a small enclosed garden to keep your dog safe if they are staying with me and I'll make sure to keep you updated with messages and photos.
“First time using the app and very glad that we found Katie. Not only did she come and meet our dog a few days before the walk, but she took him out today whilst myself and my partner were at work and our dog had a great time - we got plenty of photos and updates. Katie's professionalism is fantastic. She's gone above and beyond, making sure we feel confident throughout and asking lots of questions and offering advice. We will be rebooking with Katie again regularly and would highly recommend!”
About: I’ve looked after several dogs and cats in the last few years of varying ages and sizes, both at my home and the owner’s. Most recently, I sat for a very cute Lurcher puppy at his home three days a week, for four months last summer, helping to toilet and crate train him, and playing with him throughout the day while ensuring he got enough rest. I have looked after him on the odd occasion since and he is always very excited to see me. I have also looked after an 11 year old Dalmatian on three different occasions for 3-6 weeks at a time and we have formed a close bond. He feels comfortable in my home and needs quite a lot exercise so we enjoy lots of long walks together. When I first looked after him he could be quite reactive and would pull on the lead a lot, but we have done quite a bit of work together and he is much calmer now. I’ve also had the pleasure of caring for the sweetest 11 year old Miniature Schnauzer on several occasions for a few days at a time, making lots of time for snuggles but also taking her down to the beach where she loves to explore. I’ve also housesat for friends and family, looking after their cats while they were on holiday. My friend’s cats were quite nervous so I was happy to take their lead on how close I got. While they were wary to begin with, they would happily sit with me and let me stroke them by the end of the week. My friends have asked me to catsit again this September. All in all, the fact that owners have trusted me to look after their pets for long periods of time and on more than one occasion shows that I am reliable and will care for your pet like they are my own, with the utmost love, care and attention. The owners have also appreciated the regular updates and pictures I send and I will always make sure to do the same for you. I work from home four days a week and can be flexible on location so am happy to come to yours or look after your pet at my house. I’m available during the week and at weekends for quick drop ins, a full day or for boarding, from one night to several weeks at a time if required. I have a large, enclosed garden for your pet to have a good run around if needed. There are also lots of good walks nearby, including a park and the beach is nearby. I live alone and don’t have any pets or children, so can provide a calm, secure space. My work is quite flexible so I can make time to play with your pet and show them the love and attention they need. Also happy to crate if required.
About: I am an experienced dog owner and have always loved dogs since I was small. I have two black labradors who we absolutely adore. My oldest dog is 6 and the youngest is 2. All members of my family own a dog so we are always dog sitting while they are away so we are experts with many breeds. My dogs are very relaxed and welcome any dog in their home. They are also very good company and playmates if that’s what your dog needs. On the other hand, because of their nature, if your does not want to interact with them, they will leave them alone - that’s just labradors for you. I have always hated the thought of having to put my doggies in kennels when we go away and we never do luckily and have used dogbuddy to help us in the past. We would provide a home away from home as I understand how important it is for your doggy to feel looked after and cared for while you are away and to also give you peace of mind to relax and not worry. We have a lovely house right opposite a very popular dog walking park in Swansea that is very close to Swansea Bay so rest assured your dogs would well walked (or ran if they preferred). I only work two days a week and my husband is here with our dogs on those days anyway so there is always someone with your dog. We are a very fit family and love nothing better than to walk so rest assured, your dog will be very content. Should you require us for dog walking, we are very flexible and would happily accommodate you and your dog. We have our own transport and would happily pick your dog up and take them to our beautiful beaches in Swansea on a regular basis. We love nothing more than to do this! We would love to welcome your dog to our house and you can be assured they would be loved and looked after just like our own. Please feel free to message me for any more information I haven’t thought of putting on here 😊
“Ariana was lovely with our german shepperd Ozzy, although our dog has some general anxiety he loved Ariana since day 1, even sitting on her lap. Very grateful for her flexibility to walk Ozzy so we could enjoy our 3 weeks holidays whilst receiving pictures of a happy Ozzy :)”
About: I’m a recently qualified veterinarian with a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Animal Management, where I studied key areas such as animal nutrition, training, and behaviour. I have extensive experience caring for a wide range of domestic animals, both personally and professionally. My own pets have included fish, budgies, cats, dogs, and I currently share my home with a corn snake and a cat. I’m confident handling all types of dogs and cats from energetic puppies to senior companions and have experience with large breeds such as Akitas as well as smaller breeds through family and friends. In addition to dogs and cats, I’m comfortable caring for small furries (rabbits, rodents) and reptiles. My background and training ensure that every animal I look after receives attentive, compassionate, and knowledgeable care. As I’m currently between jobs, I have lots of time and attention to devote to your furry friends, ensuring they get all the care and companionship they deserve while you’re away. When caring for pets in their own home, my top priorities are safety, comfort, and routine. I always take the time to learn each pet’s individual needs, daily schedule, and any special instructions you have to ensure continuity of care. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care as I would my own- keeping things tidy, following your guidelines closely, and ensuring your pets feel loved and well looked after in familiar surroundings.
About: Hi I'm Kingsley ☺️ thank you for visiting my profile. Since a young age, everywhere I've lived, I have always had many cats and dogs. I adore spending time with animals in which over the years has given me a strong empathy and understanding of an animals energy, with dogs especially. Currently since I have moved to wales i have no pets. Being of service to others gives me great joy and keeps me in the present moment, especially when it involves animals. I am open to broadening my experience with any other kinds of animals such as reptiles, fish, insects, any animal in fact, please do not hesitate to contact me and we can meet and greet if you need to get comfortable with me looking after your pet. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile, I look forward to meeting you and your pets. 🙏 I have plenty of free time, I will happily be of service for whatever time is requested by you. I'm available anytime upon demand currently. Feel free to drop me a message and I will get back to you as soon as I can. Currently where I live I have no pets, but there is plenty of room for any dog or cat to explore around the house, big back garden fenced and safe.
About: Friends and family have relied on me to care for their pets since I was around 15, including feeding, bathing, cleaning litter trays, and spending quality time making sure pets feel comfortable and settled. I’m particularly confident caring for cats and understand how important routine, patience, and a calm approach are, especially with younger or more nervous pets. While I haven’t formally cared for dogs yet, I’m very happy and eager to do so. I’m responsible, quick to follow instructions, and committed to learning each pet’s individual needs and routine. I take pet safety seriously, provide regular updates, and always treat animals as if they were my own. What sets me apart is that I’m attentive, reliable, and genuinely care about the wellbeing of the pets I look after - not just completing tasks, but making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while their owners are away :) (p.s. I have 2 cats of my own) 🐾❗️ I also offer daytime care/house sitting for pets who need company during the day 😊 This is ideal for dogs who aren’t used to being left alone for long periods. As this involves extended hours (e.g. 8+ hours), this is priced as a full-day service rather than my standard overnight rate - feel free to message me to discuss and arrange what works best!❗️🐾 I’m currently not in full-time work so I’m available for any pet services daily from 10am. This includes dog walking, dog/cat sitting at your home and cat boarding. I always prioritise safety, trust, and the comfort of each pet, whether I’m caring for them in my home or in an owner’s home. I follow all care instructions closely and keep routines as consistent as possible so pets feel settled and secure. In my home, cats have a calm, safe environment. My own cats are outdoor cats and are able to go outside freely, however I have a lockable cat flap and can fully accommodate indoor-only cats by keeping them safely indoors at all times. My home is secure, and pets are always supervised appropriately. I also have a fully walled garden away from the main road, providing an extra layer of safety. Pets other than my own are never left unattended outdoors. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I treat the space with respect, ensure doors and windows are secure, and follow feeding, hygiene, and care routines exactly as instructed. I provide regular updates and photos, and I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, care, and attention.
About: I’m an experienced and caring pet sitter who has been looking after animals for years. I treat every animal as if they were my own with patience, love, and plenty of attention. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just good company, your pet will be safe and happy in my care☺️ I have spare time to have a feline friend around between my job as I’m only needed out of the house for a short amount of time, I make sure to schedule time for walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention😍 I have a big garden with a fence. I focus on keeping them safe comfortable and happy, going for walks when needed and lots of fuss. I am also insured ☺️
About: I've always had dogs in our family from Labradors, Whippets and Spaniels. Currently I have a 2 year whippet who is extremely friendly. I have been looking after family & friends dogs for the past 2 years including drop in visits, walks to doggy day care. I'm currently working remotely with flexibility to prioritise your pets needs. I am available everyday with expectations to Saturdays (this can be negotiated). I am available for drop in visits, dog walking and daycare. I have a enclosed garden, dog friendly household. Dillon my 2 year old whippet is extremely friendly and has been around numerous dogs all his life.
About: My name is Egdana, I am an animal lover from Venezuela and live with my husband in St Thomas in Swansea (near the city centre). Both of us have had pets for most of our lives. Ever since I was 15 I have looked after pets, this includes dogs, cats, rats, guinea pigs, hamsters, turtles, and even a pig! I work from home, so I am always available. We have 2 indoor sphynx cats, Chi and Luna, so it is important that your dog tolerates cats (they can be kept separate if necessary, but need to be accepting of them). We also have 2 guinea pigs that live in the garden, and although they will be kept in an enclosed space away from your dog, it is important that their presence does not drive your dog crazy as is the case with some breeds! We have a fully enclosed courtyard so your dog can go outside without any risk of being lost. I work from home, so I will always be here to care for your pet. My husband is also here in the evenings to help. We are working on making a fully enclosed catio (a small courtyard with a net covering it), so your pet can enjoy going outside without any risk of being lost. We have 2 indoor cats of our own that we care for, so you can have confidence that your pet will be safe here.
About: Dogs have always been in my life. My best friend Jake devastatingly passed away last year who with me and my dad had raised since a pup as a rescue Stafie. This bereavement has made me treasure dogs and all animals alike much more, they rely on us and give their unconditional love and I want to give back and make their lives filled with fun and enjoyment. I have experience with all sorts of dogs, from different breeds such as Staffies and Labrador, from young energetic balls of energy to the seniors who love and deserve to be pampered in their old age. I'm currently a final year animation student on my summer holidays and looking to look after our furry friends. My schedule is very flexible until September after this I will update my schedule to reflect this as soon as I know my class dates. For now however I am free every week day. I have a large front garden, and a back garden (not fenced), however lots of large fields, woodland and trails in my local area. I would care for your dog as my own and treat them as the best, they would be well fed and played with lots. I would be honoured to build a relationship with them, a relationship built on trust and loyalty, values that I have been brought up with and built upon with my own dog who is sadly no longer with us.
About: Animals have always been at the center of my life — both dogs and cats are family to me, not just pets. Caring for them isn’t something I switch off from; it’s simply who I am. Every time I go on holiday, I make sure I’m prepared — I’ve even carried a 6kg bag of animal food in my rucksack while hiking up mountains, just to ensure animals are fed and cared for (with photos to prove it). I share my life with my own cat and understand feline behavior deeply, from quiet communication to respecting boundaries. I’ve trained my cat using positive reinforcement, including recall, sit, paw, high five, and spin. I also have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels, always with patience, structure, and love. I currently volunteer at Llys Nini Cattery, where I’m surrounded by cats daily and care for a wide range of personalities — from shy and nervous to confident and playful. Every animal I look after receives the same devotion, respect, and attention I give my own. Special Skills • 🐾 Experienced with both dogs and cats • 🧠 Strong understanding of animal body language & behavior • 🐕 Excellent recall and basic training support • 🐈 Positive-reinforcement training for cats and dogs • 💖 Especially good with anxious, shy, or rescue animals • 🧘 Calm, reassuring presence that helps animals feel safe • 💊 Comfortable with basic medication administration • 🧼 Attentive to routine, hygiene, and enrichment • 📸 Regular updates and photos for peace of mind Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I currently volunteer at Llys Nini and am not working, as I’m focusing on pursuing my passion for animal care. This gives me a very flexible schedule, allowing me to provide attentive, unrushed care and adapt fully to each pet’s needs. I care for pets both at my home and at the owner’s house, depending on what works best for them. My home has a large, fully walled garden, giving dogs plenty of space to run, play, and explore safely. I provide structured walks, playtime, and mental stimulation, as well as a calm environment for pets to relax. At an owner’s home, I follow their routines closely — feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special needs or medications — to ensure pets feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I also make sure pets have plenty of attention, affection, and supervision, whether inside or outside, and I always keep their space clean, safe, and enriched so they feel happy, secure, and loved.

“She was amazing, helped me out with a last minute booking, when I had been let down by someone else. Bear my dog had a lovely time. She sent me lots of updates and pictures/ videos. I would 100% use her again.”
“Wonderful! Our Lucy was well looked after and I had complete peace of mind. Lovely to see photo updates , I think she had fun with your beautiful dogs. Thanks for giving Lucy a great time, so much better than any kennel experience, we'd definitely love for Lucy to come again.”
“Gayathri looked after my dog Ada for a full day (7am–7pm) at quite short notice. She was really accommodating with the timing and I got thoughtful updates during the day, which was very reassuring. When I picked Ada up, I could tell from her relaxed behaviour with both Gayathri and me that she had been well cared for.”
“Kingsley was a 10 out of 10 looking after Ozzy, we were a bit nervous as Ozzy can be a bit anxious sometimes, but since the first meet-up Kingsley was very clear about his rules to make sure that Ozzy feels safe and happy during the stay, that and the constant updates through the weekend gave us loads of reassurance to book with Kingsley on next ocasions.”
“Rhiannon was amazing, we booked for a weekend stay for our 15 year old dog and he absolutely loved it. I received constant updated with photos. I needed an emergency over night sit as our car broke down and Rhiannon was brill and it wasn't an issue. We shall definitely be visiting again :) 10 stars if I could!”
About: I enjoy being outdoors and regularly explore the beautiful beaches of Swansea - perfect for keeping your dog happy, active, and engaged. I’d love to meet your dog and give them the best possible time while you’re away. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages - from cheeky, energetic puppies to senior dogs who need regular medical care and a gentler pace. I’m comfortable with all sizes and breeds, having looked after everything from miniature schnauzers and chihuahuas to retrievers and german shepherds. I live alone with my own dog, Serpico - a friendly 3 year old lurcher cross, who loves playing and socialising with other dogs - so your doggo will always have great company. We follow a consistent routine with morning and evening walks, including time for off-leash runs, but I’m always happy to adapt to suit your dog’s individual needs. As a dog owner myself, I completely understand how it feels to leave your pet in someone else’s care. That’s why I’ll always provide regular updates and photos, so you can feel reassured and relaxed while you’re away. I currently work from home on Mondays and Fridays and will only offer boarding on these days as well as weekends. Which means I have plenty of time to dedicate to your doggo. I usually go for a morning walk with my doggo at either the beach or park, providing space for a good run around. Followed up with a chilled evening walk to wind down. We’re happy to change up our schedule to meet your dog’s needs. I have a fenced garden and a dog of my own, who will act as a sociable playmate. I would love to meet up with you and your dog before boarding to make sure a connection is made with your doggo and that they feel comfortable staying at our home.
“We left our dog Leia with Sophie for the weekend, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. This was the first time we’ve left Leia with anyone other than family and she made us feel at ease. We received regular updates and videos, which really made a difference and reassured us while we were away. Leia came home happy and clearly very well looked after. We wouldn’t hesitate to use them again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog boarder. Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of Leia!😊”
About: I started my journey on rover while I was in university in 2022, and having furry companions made my uni experience so much better. I now work full time, from home, so it would be great to still care for new furry friends! I’m currently working full time but I work from home so am very flexible and would love to look after your four legged friends! I love nature and walking, so your dogs will always the excersice needed with me. I’ve had experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes, and love every one of them! I’m well equipped to deal with bigger, more high maintenance dogs due managing my own reactive GSD. When at home, I love to explore with my dog Oatie. Oatie is a very temperamental dog, who can be reactive at times, leaving me with plenty of experience with dogs that can be tricky to handle, especially around strangers or other dogs.
“Amy was amazing looking after my dog Jude who was made to feel immediately at home and was given the love and attention you would give your own pet. She checked on all Judes normal daily requirements and accommodated these perfectly. There was plenty of walks and lots of wonderful picture updates leaving me in no doubt that Jude was quite at home. I wouldn't hesitate in using Amy again.”
“First time leaving Freya so was a bit anxious. I didn’t need to be. Marryanne was very reassuring when she arrived to pick up Freya. Sent me photos off Freya on her runs on the beach. Will deffo use marryanne again in the future”
About: We’ve grown up with dogs and have been around them most of our lives, so we’re very comfortable handling their day-to-day needs. We also regularly look after friends’ dogs, which has given us experience with a range of breeds, temperaments, and routines. We both work from home every day, so dogs in our care get plenty of attention, supervision, and company throughout the day. We’re used to managing feeding, walks, and general care, and we make sure to stick to each dog’s usual routine to help them stay settled while their owners are away. During the week, we both work from home, with one office day each scheduled on different days, ensuring that there is always one of us at home to care for the dog. We finish work at 3pm, allowing plenty of time for an evening walk and attention. On weekends, we are not working, so the dog would enjoy more dedicated time with us, often including day trips typically to the beach. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are a top priority. The property features a secure, fully fenced garden with a padlocked gate, providing a safe outdoor space for exercise and play, including a generous area of natural grass. We are also fully licensed by the local council for dog sitting, meaning the home has been inspected and approved to meet required safety standards. For added peace of mind, we do not own any dogs and never mix pets from different households, ensuring your dog receives dedicated care and a calm, controlled environment at all times.
“Luna had a great, safe time with Maria for 2 nights. Maria kept me updated throughout with messages and pictures of her time there and she wasn’t afraid to reach out with any queries. Thanks again :)”
“Tro had the best time, came back home really happy. He can be hard to manage sometimes but they made him feel right at home. Aimee was sending me plenty of updates and I could tell she was very attentive to all his needs. Would definetly recommend her and will certainly book again soon!”
About: I run a full-time doggie daycare, overnight dog boarding, and dog walking business based in Gowerton, serving clients across Swansea, including Mumbles, Sketty, and Clydach. With 6 years of experience working with all breeds, I’m passionate about providing tailored, loving care to meet the needs of every dog and their owner. Dog Walking Services For group walks, I offer 1-hour or 2-hour sessions, which I typically schedule for midday (around 12/1 PM). These walks are a fantastic way for dogs to socialize while exploring beautiful locations. For solo walks, I aim to accommodate your schedule, but these usually take place in the mornings (10/11 AM) or later in the afternoon (3/4/5 PM). Solo walks are priced slightly higher at £17 per hour due to the exclusive time booked for your dog. Day Boarding/Day Care My day boarding services run Monday to Friday, where I pick up dogs between 8/9 AM and drop them back off around 4/5 PM. This service offers a full 8-hour day packed with fun, socialization, and exercise. I take a group of 6–8 dogs on bespoke walks to beaches, woodlands, and mountains, allowing them to explore different environments. At home, they can socialize further, play with toys, and relax in my secure house and garden. Many of my dogs are regulars who are friendly, playful, and enjoy their time together. Overnight Boarding Overnight boarding is also available for those needing care beyond the day. Dogs stay in my home and are treated like family, with plenty of love, attention, and comfort during their stay. Transportation I offer pick-up and drop-off services for all my clients, making it easy and convenient for you. Think of it as a “doggy school bus,” ensuring your pet gets to their destination safely and happily! Pricing Here’s a general breakdown of my services (prices may vary depending on location and pick-up/drop-off requirements): Dog Walk – Group (1 hour): £14 Dog Walk – Solo (1 hour): £17 Day Care (8 hours): £35 Overnight Boarding: £50 For households with multiple dogs or block bookings, I also offer discounts to make my services more affordable. Having recently moved to Pontardawe from Gowerton, I’ve retained my wonderful client base across Swansea and look forward to continuing to care for the amazing dogs I work with. My goal is always to ensure your pet is safe, happy, and has the best experience possible! I work full time as a dog walker, doggie day care and overnight boarder. My business is called Ellie Mae’s Dog Walking. I dedicate my life to ensuring your dogs have the best lives! I have a fully fenced, large back garden, providing the pups with lots of room to play.
