“Elly was super accommodating and agreed to look after our two dogs for the first time at short notice. She took great care of them, kept us updated with pictures while we were away and they came home super chilled and relaxed (which is unheard of!). Would definitely recommend Elly and plan to use her again.”
“Diane is a very calm, relaxed dog sitter and Marnie immediately took to her and seemed very relaxed in her company. This was fantastic as Marnie can become anxious at times, after a long journey, as she is a rescue. Diane gave us lots of updates and kept us informed of how Marnie was throughout the stay.”
“We decided to book Ewa's home boarding services quite last minute when our original plans fell through. We were quite apprehensive at first, as we were worried our 1 year old schnauzer would be too much to handle and wouldn't settle with Ewa and Patrick's dog JJ. The whole time we were away on holiday Ewa kept us updated on Cole with lots of pictures, videos and messages on what he was up to and how he was during the day. The frequency of communication between us really put us at ease as we hadn't done anything like this before. We were really pleased to know that our dog Cole was so well behaved and seemed to have a lovely time on his own little holiday. I would definitely recommend Ewa's services to anyone, she is very professional and a lovely person who you'd be happy to leave your pets with. I would book Ewa's services again anytime in the future if her and Patrick are avaliable. Thank you for everything!”
“Absolutely brilliant. Seren looked after my dog Rupert for the week and he was very well looked after. Had lots of updates and pictures of his time which was lovely. Will definitely use again.”
“Jeff and his wife were absolutely brilliant with Derek. They kept us updated throughout his stay with lovely little videos and photos of his adventures by the lake, which made such a difference and really put our minds at ease. Derek is our one and only little dog child, so leaving him is never easy, but it was clear he was happy, relaxed and having the best time. They have such a lovely home for dogs to stay in, and you can tell they genuinely care about every dog they look after. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking Derek in with them again. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of our boy!”
About: My husband and I currently have an 11 year old cockerchon who is friendly with other dogs and with humans. We’ve previously had a bichon for 10 years prior to that. My husband and I are both retired and so have lots of time for dog walks. We have fields at the end of our cul-de-sac for local walks. We also regularly go to beaches and other parks around Cardiff. We have a safe enclosed rear garden which is dog friendly. We also have a dog flap for smaller breeds! We happy to take dogs that are friendly. We would want to meet your dog along with ours prior to confirming the first booking. We’re retired, so are able to be around for your pets and give them regular walks. We’re happy to feed them as per your instructions. We have a safe fenced garden which is dog friendly. We have experience in also looking after friend’s dogs. We’re happy to have dogs upstairs with us at night if this is what they’re used to. We’ll send you regular photos of your dog to put your mind at rest.
“We booked quite last minute but Jack was happy to accommodate us which we appreciated. We received pictures of Ted over the period of his stay and he looked very happy ☺️ We’ve picked up a very tired pup which means an easy evening for us! Thanks a lot Jack ☺️”
About: I’ve got a 1-year old Cavapoo that absolutely loves other dogs. I take him for at least 2 walks a day, sometimes three, being very active myself and situated within a short walk to two parks. To me dogs are too good for us humans. I believe their good nature should be rewarded with love, affection, walkies, cuddles, and all the belly rubs they want. I’m self employed and work from home so they’ll never be left on their own for long, if at all. I’m home most of the time, being self employed and working from home. When I do go out, I tend to bring my own dog with me so I know all the dog-friendly places. So just as my own dog Edgar is well looked after, so will your beloved fur baby. I have a fenced in garden and a three bedroom home which is fully open to your pup. I have a small crate if needed and all the necessary things since I have my own small dog.
“Sara was brilliant! Our dog is pretty big and very high energy so can be difficult to handle but it looked like he had a great time with Sara and her dogs. We got tons of updates, photos and videos which was great. Would 100% recommend!”
“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.”
“Our collie Floss had a wonderful stay with Rhian and her family. Communication was great and she sent lots of photos of Floss enjoying her stay. Rhian was really flexible and provided lots of home comforts. I would certainly recommend Rhian to others!”
“What an amazing sitter! Beata was so kind, friendly and accommodating to me and Fidget! A lovely home with a wonderful big garden. She has a wealth of experience with dogs and Fidget clearly had an amazing time! Thank you so much!”
“Vivian is a WONDERFUL dog sitter. She took great care of our elderly Labrador & sent lots of updates while we were on holiday for a week - thank you :) Highly recommended”
“Sabre had such a lovely time with Steph, she hardly wanted to leave her side! A warm, kind, energy, who sent regular updates of Sabre’s stay, and was super flexible and accommodating to my changing plans. Will definitely be calling on Steph again in future.”
“Caradog is a very kind and considerate young man and after having taken care of freya for 10 days I have no reservations in recommending him or using him again. Freya is a very energetic young cocker spaniel with regular exercise and attention requirements and Caradog looked after all her needs.”

“Sarah was absolutely incredible, honestly all that I could have asked for and more. She looked after my two cats for the weekend while I was away at a family ashes spreading service. Not only was she happy to care for the cats, but she also took on the task of misting my pet mantises and stick insects. She sent photos of the cats, and she fed and played with them, cuddled with them, and changed their litter. Even my elderly cat who is nervous and generally hides from everyone, came running over to see Sarah when she first visited, and began rubbing up against her legs; clearly the lady has a way with animals! She was also kind enough to bring parcels in for me when they were left on the doorstep, even one which was really heavy. All of this would be enough for me to confidently recommended her to others, but the biggest reason I think anyone would be lucky to have her looking after their pets, is that she has just such a comforting presence, and she went above and beyond to put me at ease about leaving my home and my animal family members. I was really worried about being away from them, and this was the first time I’ve ever used a service like this. I suspect I’m not the only pet parent who is nervous about leaving their pets, and having someone who is so reassuring and capable really makes it less scary. She followed all of my instructions to the letter and was also very kind about the fact that I’d left a short novel of printed instructions. Overall, she was just a really kind and capable pet sitter, and I will absolutely rush to use her again if I once again have to go away. She’d even tied a pretty yellow ribbon on my keys when she put them back through the door after her last check in. Truly, I cannot recommend her highly enough, she is clearly just the most wonderful person!”
“Once again Cedric has taken wonderful care of my cat, he was very attentive to the instructions I left for this longer than usual booking and they are forming a great bond. I'll be sure to book Cedric again whenever possible.”
“This was the first time I had ever used a pet sitter. I was nervous about leaving my cats and home but Ashley was very good with them. I felt safe going away and leaving them and my house in his capable hands. He was polite and professional and most important, he was honest and genuine. He kept me updated on the cats and sent me pictures of them. I would 100% recommend Ashley, I will use again in the future.”
“Rhiannon was great, I came back to Lebby having no been fed and watered and everything clean. She also played with Lebby which is essential while I am away and unable to give her that stimulation.”
About: I have experience with cats on all ends of the confidence spectrum, from terrified/hiding to in your face kitties. I have two beautiful indoor cats of my own (Cassi and Suki) both rescues with varying backgrounds. I adapt myself to each cat I meet, respecting their boundaries and building trust step by step. I have experience with extremely nervous cats, I understand how important it is to approach them with patience and understanding. My own cat Cassi has had extreme anxiety due to abusive previous owner, I understand progress is not linear and they are worth every bit of patience ♥️ I also grew up with multiple cats with different behavioural needs outdoor and indoor. I have experience admistering medication for my own cats (liquid and pills) I have dealt with kittens all the way to golden age cats 🐈 Please message if you have any questions ☺️
About: I've always owned dogs and cats growing up, and currently live with two cocker spaniels and a ragdoll cat. I frequently become relied upon by family members to dog sit, most popularly by my dad who owns an XL American Bull and two mischevious tuxedo cats! I've had dogs from the range of shuh tzu's to staffie's to the American Bull mentioned, which has made confident in my abilities no matter the breed, size or personality! I'm currently going back to university to study my Masters Degree, which is why this type of arrangement is ideal for me (and hopefully for you too!)
About: I’m a genuine animal lover and have experience caring for cats for friends and family. I understand that every cat has their own personality, so I always take the time to let them feel comfortable at their own pace. Whether they enjoy playing, cuddling, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: About Me Hi! I’m Sophie – a lifelong animal lover with over 8 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I live in a peaceful rural area surrounded by fields, with a secure open garden and a small enclosed one right next to my house. I work from home, so your pets will never be left alone – they’ll be part of the family while they’re here. I share my home with my own friendly crew: 🐾 Kisa, my gentle elderly dog who’s the queen of calm cuddles 🐾 Harley, an older collie mix who still plays like a pup 🐾 Mimi, a sweet 9-month-old kitten (friendly to all – except the local voles 😅) I have experience with everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs and indoor-only cats. I’ve also cared for dogs with complex needs, including those with seizures, deafness, and medication routines (oral meds, injections, eye drops – you name it). I’m happy to accommodate special care and will always work with you to ensure your pets feel safe and loved. I prioritise keeping owners informed and at ease – I know how hard it is to leave your furry family behind, and I treat every animal in my care like one of my own. ❤️ Pet care is part of my everyday routine! I live and work from home, so I’m always around to give the animals in my care plenty of attention, love, and supervision throughout the day. (I work in cimla voluntarily on weekends - can sit in that area) Whether it’s cuddles on the sofa, supervised play in the garden, or peaceful strolls through the nearby fields, your pet’s needs easily fit into my schedule. I’m used to working around feeding times, medication schedules, and different energy levels — from playful pups to snoozy seniors. I structure my day around the pets in my care, not the other way around. I sometimes volunteer on the weekends but that's as and when! Pets in my care are treated like extended pack members from the moment they arrive. I make sure every animal feels safe, respected, and comfortable — whether that means quiet time, playtime, or sticking closely to their usual routine. At my home, I have an open garden surrounded by peaceful countryside, perfect for sniffy walks and fresh air. I also have a smaller enclosed garden right next to the house for potty breaks and supervised outside time. I never leave pets unsupervised outside. Inside, pets have full access to safe, cozy spaces, with comfy spots to relax and regular opportunities for cuddles, enrichment, and play. I supervise all interactions between pets and always follow your preferences regarding routines, feeding, sleeping, and exercise. I have experience with: Administering medication (oral, eye drops, injections) Caring for elderly, deaf, or anxious animals Managing multi-pet households calmly and safely Whether your pet stays with me or I care for them in your home, I aim to create a calm, stress-free experience where they feel loved and you feel reassured 🐾
About: Perfect care for your feline friend! 🐱 With years of experience and a deep love for cats, I provide gentle, attentive, and trustworthy care tailored to each kitty’s unique personality. From playful kittens to quiet seniors, I understand their needs and quirks—whether it’s chin scratches, playtime, or simply a cozy lap to curl up on 🛋️❤️. I create a calm, safe space where your cat can feel relaxed, loved, and completely at ease while you’re away. 🐾
About: I have always had cats within my family home growing up. I do have two border collies however they’re very calm and can be kept completely separate from your feline friend if you are a little anxious about that. I have plenty of space for them to roam around in and will prioritise making them feel happy and calm in their new surroundings.
“Lydia is such a lovely, caring and reliable person. She looked after Tilly very well whilst we were away. All of our cats needs were met with both visits. I honestly can't recommend her enough. I will be rebooking when I next go away xx”

About: My partner and I have had pets for our whole lives. I have mainly had experience with smaller dogs and cats that crave the attention and love I provide, whereas my partner has experience looking after larger dogs such as staffs, huskies, and german shepherds. We both adore animals and have passion for pets that we rarely get to indulge in. We can't wait to take care of your pet in our home and treat them like our own. We usually wake up around 6am and go to the gym to be back in the house by 8:30. My partner works from home 9-5 whereas I am currently unemployed and have free time all day to look after your pet. If I do for some reason need to leave the house, it will not be for much longer than 2 hours, so your pet will always have someone close by. If morning pick up or drop off is needed, I am very flexible and will move my schedule around to fit your needs. I have an unfenced garden but have anchor points if your pet would like to go in the garden on a lead. I have a little Jack Russel terrier who is calm with any dogs in his presence once he has had a feel for their vibe. We don't have a crate, but we do have the space for one if you would like to bring your own, and we have a bath in which I can bathe your pet and trim or file their nails if you would like (this will cost extra).
“We couldn’t be happier with the excellent care Jeff provided for our young Golden Retriever, Humphrey. From the moment we met, we felt completely confident leaving him in Jeff’s hands. Jeff was professional, caring, reliable and clearly genuinely loves dogs. He kept us updated, gave Humphrey plenty of walks and made sure he was comfortable and having fun. It was such a relief to know Humphrey was in such safe and capable hands. We would highly recommend Jeff to anyone looking for exceptional care for their dog.”

About: I am dog lovers and the human of a 2-year-old Lurcher. I have experience walking and boarding family and friends' dogs. I am my friends' go-to dog sitters and would love to be yours too! I work from home. I'll be around all day to let the dogs out in the garden for a toilet break, play with them and give them some cuddles and treats. I am a homewoner, and our pup is allowed on the sofa and bed. If your pup likes to cuddle on the sofa/bed, we will be happy to cuddle with them. If you are training them to stay away from the sofa/bed, we will make sure to do the same to help you with the training. We have a fully fenced garden in the back of the house where all dogs are allowed to go potty and play.
About: I have a huge passion for dogs! All dogs, all breeds, any size, I will love them like my own! And since using this platform, I have also developed a love for cats! I have used Rover for several years with consistent work, so I would very much consider myself a professional pet sitter! I have provided care for a range of pets including energetic puppies, docile seniors, nervous rescues, cuddly fluff balls and everything in between. I have the ability to remain calm and grounded so that your pet feels safe and comfortable in my care. Knowing that every pet and every owner is different, I am flexible with providing a unique service to suit you and your beloved animals. Having always had a family dog, I’m used to being around them, walking them, playing with them, fussing them and generally giving them the care and attention they need. And as a part time nanny, I often provide daily care for the animals in the family too! I have volunteered for a dog rescue centre, socialising the puppies and keeping the anxious dogs calm. I am used caring for to more than one pet at a time (the more the merrier!) and will always treat your pet as if it’s my own. They will surely be loved! I have taught a puppy to sit, lie down and roll over. I have administered daily medication for elderly animals. I have administered flea treatment. I have carefully bathed mucky pups keeping them calm and happy whilst doing so. I have carefully cared for pets with poorly tummies feeding them a simple diet where necessary. As a self employed actor I often have a lot of time on my hands between jobs and during the daytime if I’m in work. I’m also a life coach and run my own business from home, so I have plenty of time during the day to spend looking after your pets and keeping them company. With my line of work it is not always practical to own a pet (much to my sadness!) but by providing for other people’s pets, I get all the joy whilst helping others too… a win win situation. I will always pay special attention to each animal’s individual needs and stick as close as possible to the animal’s usual routine so that it feels happy and comfortable.

I have a walled garden which is very secure, since I am home the majority of the time I can let pets into the garden whenever they like. I walk dogs for an hour in the morning and an hour in the evening or in whatever way the dog, or you, prefers. Pets are not allowed upstairs. I only look after one pet at a time.

“Huge thanks to Matt for giving Ruby, our 8 month red fox retriever, the best day... He stepped in very last minute but was so reassuring and generally helpful and Ruby loved him and his immaculate house/garden. Ruby was with him and wife from 8.30 until 8 pm so long day for all.

“Would highly recommend Jack and his partner, my dog Jasper tends to be quite nervous around new people but he settled in quite quickly and loved going there. Sometimes it was a struggle getting him to leave as he enjoyed being there so much and if it weren’t for moving jobs closer to home I would happily continue taking my dog to Jack.”
About: I’ve got a 1-year old Cavapoo that absolutely loves other dogs. I take him for at least 2 walks a day, sometimes three, being very active myself and situated within a short walk to two parks. To me dogs are too good for us humans. I believe their good nature should be rewarded with love, affection, walkies, cuddles, and all the belly rubs they want. I’m self employed and work from home so they’ll never be left on their own for long, if at all. I’m home most of the time, being self employed and working from home. When I do go out, I tend to bring my own dog with me so I know all the dog-friendly places. So just as my own dog Edgar is well looked after, so will your beloved fur baby. I have a fenced in garden and a three bedroom home which is fully open to your pup. I have a small crate if needed and all the necessary things since I have my own small dog.
“Diane is a lovely person, who offered to look after my Great Dane at short notice. Her bio said that she has experience with Danes which is why I chose her. She was reliable, trustworthy and communicated well throughout the day I was away. She looked after my house and dog well. One thing her bio did not state is that she has mobility difficulties and at one point fell over when my dog was excited and wanted to play with another dog. I suggest she is best used for people with older and small dogs, when the otherwise good care she provides does not result in accidents when out walking.”
“We left our puppy, Lucy, with Kate during the days while we went back to Canada to visit me family. To say she was amazing would be an understatement. Lucy was so well taken care of and so happy to go to Kates house everyday. We were very worried leaving Lucy for the first time but Kate made all or worries go away with daily photos and check ins telling us what they got up to. Not to mention her kids were fantastic with her and lucy thoroughly enjoyed all of the cuddles and play time she got with them! We are so grateful we found her and will 100% be using her in the future :)”

I am very patient when it comes to gaining the trust of animals and will follow any instruction or guidance with regards to caring for your pets as closely as possible.
About: I’ve always loved being around animals especially dogs and enjoy taking them out to the beach or anywhere where they can run free. I often offer to have my friends dogs over night or for a weekend if they are stuck. I enjoy having the extra company and so does my dog Ella. I’ve had a dog at home for the passed 10+ years. I previously took on a dog that a family member couldn’t keep anymore due to circumstances and as I had a close bond with him (Bruno the beagle) and walked him a lot. I took him on where he had a very happy and fulfilled life. I then adopted a dog from Romania and helped rehabilitate him before moving him on to another family and now have Ella who is also adopted from Romania. I will always have dogs in my life now as dogs make a house a home and we love going on adventures. This would be a second job for me. I work Monday to Friday 8:30-3:30 so weekends or after that I am free. I also get a lot of time off, so longer periods are not a problem. I live in a flat where there are plenty of walks around and the beach is 5 minutes away. Toileting is easy too as I’m only on the second floor. Every dog is different but I’m happy to adapt to that. My dogs copes very well here and enjoys the views.
“Ashley is lovely and Scrumpy ( our Sprocker) was well looked after and thoroughly enjoyed his walk and play with his new friend Ashley ! Would not hesitate in recommending Ashley and will be asking him to look after scrumpy again soon !”
About: I've always owned dogs and cats growing up, and currently live with two cocker spaniels and a ragdoll cat. I frequently become relied upon by family members to dog sit, most popularly by my dad who owns an XL American Bull. I've had dogs from the range of shuh tzu's to staffie's to the American Bull mentioned, which has made confident in my abilities no matter the breed, size or personality! I'm currently going back to university to study my Masters Degree, which is why this type of arrangement is ideal for me (and hopefully for you too!) I'm currently going back to university for my Masters Degree in Social Work which is only two days a week. This leaves me with plenty of time to have fun and keep your furry loved ones company while you are away making memories! From dogs that just want someone to sit near (who will make the best study buddies) to high energy and playful dogs (the ones that make you forget all of lifes stress while you focus on whatever they want to play with), I can guarentee the best service for them from me. Unfortunately, I am not able to have animals come to my house - the two cocker spaniels and the ragdoll cat have rule of that here! I am more than happy to sit in for the days, or stay overnight when needed! I am happy to meet first (which will hopefully also include the dog) but rezt assured no matter how we start this off, your animals are the priority.
About: I have had all sorts of animals throughout my adult life from rabbits and guinea pigs to cats and dogs. My previous dogs were border collies which I trained myself and with my first girl we had great fun at agility classes. My last girl was 15 when we had to say goodbye. My canine companion now is Monty, a 21 month old Border Terrier. I love building a relationship with dogs, working out what makes them tick and giving them their best life. I would be happy to walk your dog alone or accompanied by Monty. Of course the choice would be yours. I am happy to answer any questions you may have to ensure your confidence in my ability to care for your pet. I am available weekdays and weekends as my care work is flexible, so I have plenty of time to devote to the care of your pet. The more notice you give me, the more likely I am to be able to accomodate your needs. I am happy to take on regular or one off care. I have a secure fenced garden and plenty of dog toys to share with your dog. Dogs are allowed on the sofa if you are happy for that to happen.
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and caring for them comes naturally to me. I love taking my dog, Mylo, out for walks - rain or shine! I am a trustworthy individual and will treat your furry friend with all the love and care as if they were my own😊 I work from home in the week and would love some extra company! I am available most weekend for boarding and available any day for walks!l I live in a dog-loving home with a big fenced garden and plenty of toys! My fur baby, Mylo, is very friendly and would enjoy the company of another dog/s.
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 have a huge passion for dogs! All dogs, all breeds, any size, I will love them like my own! And since using this platform, I have also developed a love for cats! I have used Rover for several years with consistent work, so I would very much consider myself a professional pet sitter! I have provided care for a range of pets including energetic puppies, docile seniors, nervous rescues, cuddly fluff balls and everything in between. I have the ability to remain calm and grounded so that your pet feels safe and comfortable in my care. Knowing that every pet and every owner is different, I am flexible with providing a unique service to suit you and your beloved animals. Having always had a family dog, I’m used to being around them, walking them, playing with them, fussing them and generally giving them the care and attention they need. And as a part time nanny, I often provide daily care for the animals in the family too! I have volunteered for a dog rescue centre, socialising the puppies and keeping the anxious dogs calm. I am used caring for to more than one pet at a time (the more the merrier!) and will always treat your pet as if it’s my own. They will surely be loved! I have taught a puppy to sit, lie down and roll over. I have administered daily medication for elderly animals. I have administered flea treatment. I have carefully bathed mucky pups keeping them calm and happy whilst doing so. I have carefully cared for pets with poorly tummies feeding them a simple diet where necessary. As a self employed actor I often have a lot of time on my hands between jobs and during the daytime if I’m in work. I’m also a life coach and run my own business from home, so I have plenty of time during the day to spend looking after your pets and keeping them company. With my line of work it is not always practical to own a pet (much to my sadness!) but by providing for other people’s pets, I get all the joy whilst helping others too… a win win situation. I will always pay special attention to each animal’s individual needs and stick as close as possible to the animal’s usual routine so that it feels happy and comfortable.
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: About Me Hi! I’m Sophie – a lifelong animal lover with over 8 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I live in a peaceful rural area surrounded by fields, with a secure open garden and a small enclosed one right next to my house. I work from home, so your pets will never be left alone – they’ll be part of the family while they’re here. I share my home with my own friendly crew: 🐾 Kisa, my gentle elderly dog who’s the queen of calm cuddles 🐾 Harley, an older collie mix who still plays like a pup 🐾 Mimi, a sweet 9-month-old kitten (friendly to all – except the local voles 😅) I have experience with everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs and indoor-only cats. I’ve also cared for dogs with complex needs, including those with seizures, deafness, and medication routines (oral meds, injections, eye drops – you name it). I’m happy to accommodate special care and will always work with you to ensure your pets feel safe and loved. I prioritise keeping owners informed and at ease – I know how hard it is to leave your furry family behind, and I treat every animal in my care like one of my own. ❤️ Pet care is part of my everyday routine! I live and work from home, so I’m always around to give the animals in my care plenty of attention, love, and supervision throughout the day. (I work in cimla voluntarily on weekends - can sit in that area) Whether it’s cuddles on the sofa, supervised play in the garden, or peaceful strolls through the nearby fields, your pet’s needs easily fit into my schedule. I’m used to working around feeding times, medication schedules, and different energy levels — from playful pups to snoozy seniors. I structure my day around the pets in my care, not the other way around. I sometimes volunteer on the weekends but that's as and when! Pets in my care are treated like extended pack members from the moment they arrive. I make sure every animal feels safe, respected, and comfortable — whether that means quiet time, playtime, or sticking closely to their usual routine. At my home, I have an open garden surrounded by peaceful countryside, perfect for sniffy walks and fresh air. I also have a smaller enclosed garden right next to the house for potty breaks and supervised outside time. I never leave pets unsupervised outside. Inside, pets have full access to safe, cozy spaces, with comfy spots to relax and regular opportunities for cuddles, enrichment, and play. I supervise all interactions between pets and always follow your preferences regarding routines, feeding, sleeping, and exercise. I have experience with: Administering medication (oral, eye drops, injections) Caring for elderly, deaf, or anxious animals Managing multi-pet households calmly and safely Whether your pet stays with me or I care for them in your home, I aim to create a calm, stress-free experience where they feel loved and you feel reassured 🐾
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.
About: Hi, we’re Marcus and Josh 😁! Between us, we've had 6 dogs. The latest is our very sweet labrador retriever! We're able to cater to a variety of different energy needs, from the laziest to the most energetic! We have fields and woods near our house, so we are able to give walks of different lengths. Your dog can also stay in a separate room, upon request. Both of us work from home, so there will always be at least one person with the dogs at all times. We are able to provide morning, lunchtime, and evening walks. Boarding is available upon request. We can accommodate most dates! We have a fenced garden and a friendly labrador if your dog needs company. We can provide a separate sleeping area for your dog if needed. We do not have a crate, so if crating is required, we would need the crate to be dropped off and picked up.

“Diane is a very calm, relaxed dog sitter and Marnie immediately took to her and seemed very relaxed in her company. This was fantastic as Marnie can become anxious at times, after a long journey, as she is a rescue. Diane gave us lots of updates and kept us informed of how Marnie was throughout the stay.”
“We decided to book Ewa's home boarding services quite last minute when our original plans fell through. We were quite apprehensive at first, as we were worried our 1 year old schnauzer would be too much to handle and wouldn't settle with Ewa and Patrick's dog JJ. The whole time we were away on holiday Ewa kept us updated on Cole with lots of pictures, videos and messages on what he was up to and how he was during the day. The frequency of communication between us really put us at ease as we hadn't done anything like this before. We were really pleased to know that our dog Cole was so well behaved and seemed to have a lovely time on his own little holiday. I would definitely recommend Ewa's services to anyone, she is very professional and a lovely person who you'd be happy to leave your pets with. I would book Ewa's services again anytime in the future if her and Patrick are avaliable. Thank you for everything!”
“We booked quite last minute but Jack was happy to accommodate us which we appreciated. We received pictures of Ted over the period of his stay and he looked very happy ☺️ We’ve picked up a very tired pup which means an easy evening for us! Thanks a lot Jack ☺️”
About: I’ve got a 1-year old Cavapoo that absolutely loves other dogs. I take him for at least 2 walks a day, sometimes three, being very active myself and situated within a short walk to two parks. To me dogs are too good for us humans. I believe their good nature should be rewarded with love, affection, walkies, cuddles, and all the belly rubs they want. I’m self employed and work from home so they’ll never be left on their own for long, if at all. I’m home most of the time, being self employed and working from home. When I do go out, I tend to bring my own dog with me so I know all the dog-friendly places. So just as my own dog Edgar is well looked after, so will your beloved fur baby. I have a fenced in garden and a three bedroom home which is fully open to your pup. I have a small crate if needed and all the necessary things since I have my own small dog.
“Sara was brilliant! Our dog is pretty big and very high energy so can be difficult to handle but it looked like he had a great time with Sara and her dogs. We got tons of updates, photos and videos which was great. Would 100% recommend!”
“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.”
“Our collie Floss had a wonderful stay with Rhian and her family. Communication was great and she sent lots of photos of Floss enjoying her stay. Rhian was really flexible and provided lots of home comforts. I would certainly recommend Rhian to others!”
“What an amazing sitter! Beata was so kind, friendly and accommodating to me and Fidget! A lovely home with a wonderful big garden. She has a wealth of experience with dogs and Fidget clearly had an amazing time! Thank you so much!”
“Vivian is a WONDERFUL dog sitter. She took great care of our elderly Labrador & sent lots of updates while we were on holiday for a week - thank you :) Highly recommended”
“Sabre had such a lovely time with Steph, she hardly wanted to leave her side! A warm, kind, energy, who sent regular updates of Sabre’s stay, and was super flexible and accommodating to my changing plans. Will definitely be calling on Steph again in future.”
“Caradog is a very kind and considerate young man and after having taken care of freya for 10 days I have no reservations in recommending him or using him again. Freya is a very energetic young cocker spaniel with regular exercise and attention requirements and Caradog looked after all her needs.”
“Alice was absolutely brilliant with Derek yesterday. It was quite a last-minute booking, and I’m so grateful she was able to take him on — especially as there were a few little changes our end because of work, and she was so kind, flexible, and easy to communicate with throughout. We got lovely photo updates which made such a difference, and she was really reliable with timings too, which I appreciated so much. Derek clearly loved it — he ran straight in without a second thought, had a good sniff around, spotted a burger toy and made a beeline for it straight away 😅 then settled in for cuddles like he owned the place. You can always tell when he’s happy somewhere, and he really was. Such a calm, caring environment — we’ll 100% be booking again. Thank you so much, Alice”
“Ellena and Kobe got along very well, she sent me pictures and reassured me he was in good hands. Kobe is a large dog, can be a handful sometimes but they had a good time and would like to book with Ellena again. Thank you for taking good care of my Kobe.😊”
“Erin was very nice and helpful, and I’m very happy with the care Dolly received. My dog, Dolly, stayed with her for 5 days, and it was a good experience from start to finish. Erin kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. When I picked Dolly up, she looked very happy and relaxed. I’ll definitely be booking with Erin again.”
“Bolt was SO happy staying with Hannah. Really grateful for the updates while I was away for 2 nights including that she’d taken him to the beach. Really flexible with drop off and pick up times.”
“Pamela and family took on sitting Cidu at short notice after another booking was unavoidably cancelled. Pamela met with us beforehand to make sure she got on with her own dog. Pamela sent a few messages during the week to reassure us and Cidu seemed very happy when we collected her and seemed to have formed a good relationship with Pamela and her family. We would definitely use Pamela again.”
“Sharon was amazing with Mabli and made her feel at home from the moment she arrived. Her 2 dogs are super friendly and very gentle. Sharon provided me with regular updates on how Mabli was getting on with lots of lovely photos and videos. When I picked Mabli up she has been brushed and smelt lovely and you could see how happy she was. I would highly recommend Sharon as a dog sitter.”
