“Wow wow wow! When our usual dog sitter cancelled, we were really sceptical to find a new one. But honestly, Sarah and her family looked after Ottilie as if they were one of her own. She went on adventures to local cafés and local parks and is honestly the most tired I’ve ever seen her. Sarah provided photo updates everyday and Ottilie always looked happy. Thank you so much for everything! Ottilie loves her new toy! Wouldn’t hesitate to book again.”
“This was the second time Mollie has looked after Rusty, and once again she was brilliant. Rusty was clearly excited to go back, which says it all! It's so reassuring to know he's happy and being well cared for. We were updated with lovely pictures, and Mollie's communication throughout was brilliant. We highly recommend Mollie, and have already booked again!”
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 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!”
About: Hi, I’m Jeff - I’m recently retired and keen to fill my spare time doing something I genuinely love: caring for dogs. Over the years I’ve had plenty of hands-on experience with family pets of all shapes and sizes, from small to medium and large dog breeds. I have looked after family and friends dogs, walking and sitting. I’m comfortable handling different temperaments, energy levels and confident walking dogs on and off lead (always depending on your dogs recall ability and your preferences.) My wife and I are both passionate about all dogs and treat them like family. Our home is located in the west end of Barry and we have a secure rear garden for safe playtime. We are also lucky to live within close walking distance of a country park, other parks and gardens, sea and beaches, the perfect environment for stimulation and enjoyable walks for your precious pets. I drive which allows me be able to take your dogs to other great walking spots. - if you prefer I am also happy to collect your pet. Having recently lost our beloved and special boy Max, I’m looking forward to spending time with dogs again and giving them the care, love, attention and exercise they deserve. I also have experience in administering medication and always happy to follow your dog’s usual routine to help them feel safe, comfortable and settled whilst in our care. I also hold an enhanced DBS certificate as a consequence of working with vulnerable people, and can provide information upon request. When I have free time I enjoy riding my motorbike, DIY projects, walking and keeping active at the gym. I’m happy to arrange a meet and greet appointment before hand to make sure we’re the right fit for you and importantly your dog. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family member. I’m currently retired so completely flexible day and night to cater for your furry family member’s needs, whether that be for dog sitting (boarding) or walking, or both. Once your “fur baby” is within our care, you can expect the highest quality of care and they will be welcomed into a loving, safe and warm environment. My wife and I have experience of dogs ageing from puppies right up to 14 years of age, having had the privilege of being pet parents to a range of dogs which my children adored. They are now grown up and each have their own fur members of the family. In addition, my wife and I have considerable experience in providing pet medication and have a good understanding and knowledge of various dietary conditions requiring particular dietary needs. Whilst staying at my home, your pet will have access to a secure garden for safe play.
“Helen did a wonderful job looking after our dog, Hollie, for a few days over Christmas. She was caring, reliable, and clearly attentive to Hollie’s needs and sending several photos of Hollie out and about on walks. We felt completely at ease knowing Hollie was in good hands, and it was clear she was well looked after and happy when we returned. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Helen and would be very happy to ask her to look after Hollie again.”
“We feel incredibly lucky to have found such an amazing dog boarder! They cared for our dog over two long weekends while we were away, and the experience could not have been better. From the very beginning, it was clear how much love and attention they give to the dogs in their care. They sent frequent updates and so many wonderful photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were gone. It meant the world to see our dog out on walks, playing happily, and looking so relaxed and content. They truly went above and beyond, after a muddy walk, they even bathed him so he came home clean and fresh. They provided plenty of toys to soothe and comfort him, made sure he got lots of exercise, and most importantly, gave him so much affection and reassurance. When we picked him up, he was happy, calm, and clearly very well cared for. We are so grateful for the kindness, attentiveness, and genuine love they showed our dog. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional, trustworthy care.”
“Seren was absolutely amazing from start to finish! Goldie was in true good hands, I had lots of updates and planning was an absolute breeze! Myself and Goldie both look forward to seeing Seren again, thanks so much!”
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.
“Pixel stayed with Chloe for 3 weeks while I had a major operation. I must say that Chloe looked after Pixel beautifully especially since this was his first time away from me for this long. I would recommend her highly.”
“The absolute best dog sitters you could ask for. Elle and Tom looked after Oggie on our wedding day last Saturday. We met before-hand and it was immediately clear they are 100% the biggest dog lovers and the right people for the job! They came and picked him up just after the ceremony on the day which helped out so much. Honestly they are both wonderful people who were fantastic with our big boy! 10/10 I would recommend any day. THANK YOU.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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”
“If you want your dog to be with a lovely family and well taken care of then choose Phoebe. I am so happy with the way she cared for my dog. We went away for 8 nights and I needed someone who was great with shy dogs as my dog is a rescue and can be a little unsure at first. We had never left him before so I was nervous, Phoebe reassured me and she and the family bonded with him straight away. I was sent plenty of update's and photos and he looked so happy. I will definitely be sending him back.”
“Kirsty looked after Spencer so well, he had a great time - think he’d have been happing staying! Plenty of activities, walks, playing and cuddles. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend, and would definitely take him to Kirsty again. Kirsty also sent lots of photos and communication was really good! Very happy indeed.”
“Jac had a lovely time with Jack - he was very happy and chilled 😎 with lots of updates and feedback how he was getting on. Makes our holiday all the better knowing he’s well cared for.”
“Thank you Emily for caring for Bert! He was clearly very well looked after with lots of love and affection! Emily kept us updated by sending some lovely photos and was great with communication. We will 100% be booking with Emily again, thank you”

“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!”
“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.”
“Danni is 100% a 5* cat sitter. She did an amazing job looking after my Kimchi and kimchi 100% ADORED her!!! I got daily updates and photos and she really made sure that I felt absolutely confident that Kimchi was in good hands whilst I was away. I would absolutely book Danni again for future trips she was exactly what a good cat sitter should be xx”
“As always Rachel has a lovely way with our two girls and they were very relaxed when we came home. They were well looked after and very happy, you can tell Rachel really tries to do the best for the cats she is looking after.”
About: I’ve always had pets and love animals, especially cats. I’m regularly trusted to care for friends’ and family’s pets and have experience with more challenging breeds. As I can’t have a pet full-time, I’d treat yours like family. I’m a non-smoker, tidy, and always happy to meet first—I know how important your pets are.
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: 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.
About: As a Registered Veterinary Nurse, caring for animals is what i do. I've always had a deep love for animals, and feel so fortunate to work in a profession where compassion, knowledge and dedication makes a real difference to pets lives every single day. I'm a kind, pateint and attentive person who understands that every pet is unique. My veterinary background means i'm confident recognising any subtle changes in behaviour or health, administering medication if required, and ensuring your pets wellbeing and safety at all times. But beyond the clinical skills, I genuinely love building bonds with the animals I care for and making them feel secure, happy and loved while you're away. My motivation to be a pet sitter comes from wanting to provide owners with complete peace of mind. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet - they're family. Whether its cuddles on the sofa, enrichment playtime, gentle walks, or simple companionship. I tailor my care to suit your pets individual needs and routine. I've gained experience pet sitting for family and friends, caring for a variety of pets in their own homes. I'm now looking to expand this further and offer the same reliable, compassionate care to a wider range of owners. Please enquire about day bookings (for some reason Rover doesnt allow you to book day bookings, only night bookings) i can then advise on prices per hour/bulk prices for longer bookings. Fully covered by insurance & DBS Checked As i work full time as an RVN, I work long hours during the daytime in the week so offer more evening/overnight sitting, i can be fully available on weekends and on Wednesdays. I am a trusted, caring individual with years of pet care experience. I will always treat your home with respect and ensure the safety of your fur baby at all times.
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!)
“Kerri did an excellent job of looking after Jojo and Doris, providing regular updates abd pictures of their day, I could see how happy they were which made me feel reassured. Already booked Kerri for my next absence away from home, which I know my furbabies will be happy to see her again.”
About: 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. 🐾
“Jess was absolutely amazing from beginning to end, I felt very relaxed leaving my 2 cats in her care while I went on holiday. She sent daily updates and pictures of them and also kept me up date with messages. I would highly recommend her services. Thank you Jess!”
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 🐾

“A big thank you to Natasha. As visitors to the area and a Gavin and Stacey tour booked, we were unable to take Otis with us. We reached out to Natasha and she was able to fit us in! She put us at ease and was fantastic with Otis. We had regular 'pup dates,' which meant we could enjoy our day! Otis had a fantastic time and enjoyed his two walks thoroughly and all thr undivided attention. 🙂”
About: We’re a calm, dog-loving household in Barry, offering genuine home-based boarding and daycare. We are licensed for home boarding by the Vale of Glamorgan Council and insured.

We have a secure private garden, plenty of indoor space, and no pets of our own. We’ve grown up with dogs and cats all our lives, including Labradors, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Husky Crosses and British Shorthairs. We’re confident with daily care, routines, enrichment and basic training, and we take time to understand each dog’s personality so they feel relaxed and settled. I work from home, meaning dogs are rarely left alone and receive constant supervision, companionship and reassurance.

Dogs have full access to our home and garden, plus regular walks in local parks and dog-friendly beaches around Barry. Walks and playtime are always tailored to your dog’s energy levels. We offer dog boarding and doggy daycare in a calm, kennel-free environment, with regular photo updates and flexible arrangements. Meet-and-greets are always welcome to make sure it’s a great fit. Your dog will be cared for as if they were our own – safely, calmly and with lots of love. 🐾 I work full time (9am-5pm) but I work from home so my days are very flexible. I have plenty of time for attention and playtime as often as the pets need. I will be supervising the pets at all times and will ensure that there is nothing dangerous within reach. Safety will always be front of mind.

“Koko had a lovely time! He seemed lovely and worn out when I picked him up which speaks volumes. Paula was wonderfully accommodating and seemed to get on with the little dude. Thank you!”
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.
“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. Could not have been more pleased and will definitely book again.”
About: Hi, we’re Marcus and Josh 😁! Between us, we've had 6 dogs. The latest is our very sweet labrador retriever! We're able to cater to a variety of different energy needs, from the laziest to the most energetic! We have fields and woods near our house, so we are able to give walks of different lengths. Your dog can also stay in a separate room, upon request. Both of us work from home, so there will always be at least one person with the dogs at all times. We are able to provide morning, lunchtime, and evening walks. Boarding is available upon request. We can accommodate most dates! We have a fenced garden and a friendly labrador if your dog needs company. We can provide a separate sleeping area for your dog if needed. We do not have a crate, so if crating is required, we would need the crate to be dropped off and picked up.
About: Growing up on a farm in Texas and having now lived in Wales for 5 years I have had a wide variety of different pets! I am a devoted parent to my 1 year old Cockapoo Pippo so have experience with energetic puppies! A tank of tropical fish are also part of our family!! In the USA I ran an unofficial rescue for Turtles and Tortoises that were native to Texas and at risk from cars. I also kept a variety of tropical birds. I also had a pet African Pygmy hedgehog and always had cats while I lived there. Whilst living on a farm I helped look after ducks, chickens, bunnies, dogs, cats, a goat and a horse. I have always enjoyed caring for animals and will treat yours with the same love and respect as my own! My boyfriend and I live together but he works away a lot so I will be the only sitter with all my focus on your pets needs. I am currently at home full time waiting for university to start up again in September to do my masters degree. So I can devote my time to catering to my pups and yours needs. Having had many pets myself I know how much they mean, becoming a key part of any family. I will always put their safety and wellbeing above anything else.
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: With 10 years of experience, I offer positive reinforcement and clicker training. I focus on building trust without punishment. Professional care and expertise for your dog. Run Licensed Home Boarding. Please ensure your dog has up-to-date vaccinations+ kennel cough, and parasite + fleas control administered by a vet (new Council regulation). Without this, your dog will not be allowed to stay in Home Boarding. My beloved dogs crossed the rainbow bridge last year. While my heart missed them dearly, it has left me with so much love and space to offer your furry friend my undivided attention. Working from home allows me to dedicate my time and all my years of experience solely to your pet's happiness. I truly understand that every dog is unique – whether they need playful energy in the garden or a quiet, patient soul to sit nearby. Your companion will find a peaceful sanctuary and a warm home here, treated with the deepest kindness and respect.

I focus on building a bond of trust, offering professional, high-standard care that treats every dog and cat as an individual.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since childhood. I had cats all my life at home and have taken care of friends and families dogs over the last five years. I work full time but am able to work flexibly from home every day apart from Thursdays. Monday and Thursday evenings I have a sports club 1900-2200 so would have to be out during those times. I am really happy to adapt my care to the individual needs of each animal. I love walking and also snuggling up at home. I am happy putting dogs in crates if needed and keeping an eye on them outside where not fully secure.
“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 :)”
“Can’t believe how well Monty (13 years old and never stayed with anyone) settled with Jemma and her two lovely pooches. Jemma is very capable and relaxed and completely put me at ease about leaving him. He’ll definitely be back! Thank you Jemma, Bruce and Alfie.”
“Rachel and her partner were absolutely amazing with our Labrador puppy Frodo! We felt comfortable within seconds of leaving Frodo with them. Rachel went above and beyond to ensure Frodo felt safe and loved, and gave him lovely walks! The communication was also fantastic, sending us regular photos and video updates! We can’t wait for Rachel to look after Frodo again. Thanks so much!”

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.
“Ashley was wonderful, bingo loves Ashley. They are attentive, kind and always caring to baby bingo. Would recommend to any dog owners. I also appreciate how communicative Ashley is. Thank you!”
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).
About: Myself and my partner, Kate have a rescue pup called Dora who’s 1 years old, she understands the importance of playtime and chill time, and is a dog who loves the company. Both myself and Kate have grown up with dogs and see them as an important family member. From feeding routines and walking to the attention they need, looking after dogs is a natural part of our daily life. We also have two family dogs that pop round at times who are rescues so understand the extra love that’s needed. We would want to give your dog a home away from home, and treat them as our own. Please note - it will be shared dog care between myself and my partner - Kate. Myself and Kate have opposite schedules meaning your dog would be generally in company all day. If left, it would be discussed and wouldn’t be more than three hours a day. We have a fenced, secure garden with plenty of room for play. As we got Dora from a pup, we are able to use training leads etc if needed. We are happy to allow your dog free run of our house as our Dora has. We will always prioritise your dogs safety.
About: I am a final year at the university of Bath studying biomedical science. I will be doing my masters at Bath university from September 2026, with the intention of beginning medicine in September 2027. I am a hockey player and long distance runner so I love staying active a LOT! I am very easy to talk to and friendly! I am diagnosed with autism and ADHD. I would like owners to be aware of this but not because it affects my role as a pet sitter but it’s good to be open and honest. If anything, it makes me more cautious, loving and caring! Being around animals is one of the most beautiful things in life and I love that I get to hang out with them! I have grown up around many pets, from chickens all the way to horses! I have had 4 cats in my lifetime, three rabbits, multiple hamsters and one precious dog. I truly believe I am very patient, caring and loving! I have experience with different temperaments and will handle any situations with the upmost respect and consideration of both the pet and owner. I enjoy keeping in touch with the owners throughout the day to let them know their pet is well cared for, as I can understand deeply about the love we feel as owners and wanting to know they are ok. I want anyone who is trusting me with their pet to trust me wholeheartedly and I try my best to ensure that. I’ve been very lucky to look after so many beautiful dogs, cats and rabbits. It is the most rewarding feeling. I can’t wait for many more bookings! I am a university student currently home for the summer and would love to take up a small flexible job to earn some money for my rent! I am available any time except from the 7th June-23rd June. I will offer dog walking services, and am available any time of the day. There is a field by mine that I can utilise or if the dog is more of a slow walker, I am happy to just walk them around the neighbourhood, whatever suits their needs!
About: Hi, I’m Jeff - I’m recently retired and keen to fill my spare time doing something I genuinely love: caring for dogs. Over the years I’ve had plenty of hands-on experience with family pets of all shapes and sizes, from small to medium and large dog breeds. I have looked after family and friends dogs, walking and sitting. I’m comfortable handling different temperaments, energy levels and confident walking dogs on and off lead (always depending on your dogs recall ability and your preferences.) My wife and I are both passionate about all dogs and treat them like family. Our home is located in the west end of Barry and we have a secure rear garden for safe playtime. We are also lucky to live within close walking distance of a country park, other parks and gardens, sea and beaches, the perfect environment for stimulation and enjoyable walks for your precious pets. I drive which allows me be able to take your dogs to other great walking spots. - if you prefer I am also happy to collect your pet. Having recently lost our beloved and special boy Max, I’m looking forward to spending time with dogs again and giving them the care, love, attention and exercise they deserve. I also have experience in administering medication and always happy to follow your dog’s usual routine to help them feel safe, comfortable and settled whilst in our care. I also hold an enhanced DBS certificate as a consequence of working with vulnerable people, and can provide information upon request. When I have free time I enjoy riding my motorbike, DIY projects, walking and keeping active at the gym. I’m happy to arrange a meet and greet appointment before hand to make sure we’re the right fit for you and importantly your dog. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family member. I’m currently retired so completely flexible day and night to cater for your furry family member’s needs, whether that be for dog sitting (boarding) or walking, or both. Once your “fur baby” is within our care, you can expect the highest quality of care and they will be welcomed into a loving, safe and warm environment. My wife and I have experience of dogs ageing from puppies right up to 14 years of age, having had the privilege of being pet parents to a range of dogs which my children adored. They are now grown up and each have their own fur members of the family. In addition, my wife and I have considerable experience in providing pet medication and have a good understanding and knowledge of various dietary conditions requiring particular dietary needs. Whilst staying at my home, your pet will have access to a secure garden for safe play.
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: I've always owned dogs and cats growing up, and currently live with two cocker spaniels and a ragdoll cat. I frequently become relied upon by family members to dog sit, most popularly by my dad who owns an XL American Bull. I've had dogs from the range of shuh tzu's to staffie's to the American Bull mentioned, which has made confident in my abilities no matter the breed, size or personality! I'm currently going back to university to study my Masters Degree, which is why this type of arrangement is ideal for me (and hopefully for you too!) I'm currently going back to university for my Masters Degree in Social Work which is only two days a week. This leaves me with plenty of time to have fun and keep your furry loved ones company while you are away making memories! From dogs that just want someone to sit near (who will make the best study buddies) to high energy and playful dogs (the ones that make you forget all of lifes stress while you focus on whatever they want to play with), I can guarentee the best service for them from me. Unfortunately, I am not able to have animals come to my house - the two cocker spaniels and the ragdoll cat have rule of that here! I am more than happy to sit in for the days, or stay overnight when needed! I am happy to meet first (which will hopefully also include the dog) but rezt assured no matter how we start this off, your animals are the priority.
About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets while you’re away. I have experience looking after pets for friends and family, including feeding, walking, playing, giving lots of attention, and making sure they stick to their usual routine. I also have a 4-year-old Pomeranian of my own, so I know firsthand the love, patience, and care that pets need every day. I’m reliable, caring, and happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and happy. I’m also available at short notice whenever possible, making me a great option if you need last-minute pet care. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping to their normal routine, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I’m self-employed and work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This means I can easily plan my day around a pet’s routine, whether that’s walks, feeding times, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I genuinely love being around animals and enjoy giving them plenty of attention, care, and affection, so looking after pets fits naturally into my daily life. I always aim to keep pets comfortable by following their usual routine as closely as possible. I’ll make sure they’re fed on time, have fresh water, enjoy plenty of exercise, play, and attention, and receive lots of love and reassurance. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, so I take the time to get to know them and make them feel safe and relaxed. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I have grown up with dogs and have extensive hands-on experience caring for them throughout my life. I currently have four dogs of my own and have cared for six dogs in total over the years, giving me experience with a range of breeds, personalities, and care needs. As a dog owner, I understand the importance of providing regular exercise, companionship, and attentive care. I am confident handling dogs on walks, maintaining routines, and ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have experience walking dogs for others and understand the trust owners place in someone caring for their beloved pets. I am passionate about animals and enjoy spending time outdoors, making dog walking and pet care something I genuinely love. I will always treat your pet with the same care, patience, and attention that I give my own dogs. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I currently work part-time evening shifts, which means I am available throughout most mornings and afternoons for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. This gives me plenty of flexibility to provide dogs with the time, attention, and exercise they need. I am also completely available on most Wednesdays and weekends, making me a great option for longer walks, regular care, or pet sitting while owners are away. As a dog owner myself, caring for animals is already a part of my everyday life, and I genuinely enjoy spending time outdoors and ensuring pets are happy, active, and well cared for. When caring for pets in their owner's home, I aim to maintain their usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I will follow all instructions provided regarding feeding, exercise, medication, and any specific needs or preferences your pet may have. Safety is my top priority. During walks, I ensure dogs are kept securely on lead where required, remain attentive to their surroundings, and avoid situations that may cause stress or discomfort. I am experienced around dogs of different sizes and temperaments and always use a calm, patient approach. While pet sitting, I will provide plenty of companionship, playtime, and attention, as well as regular toilet breaks, fresh water, and exercise. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust, and I will always treat your property with respect and care. I am happy to provide updates and photos during visits or stays so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well looked after while you are away.

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’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: Hi, we’re Marcus and Josh 😁! Between us, we've had 6 dogs. The latest is our very sweet labrador retriever! We're able to cater to a variety of different energy needs, from the laziest to the most energetic! We have fields and woods near our house, so we are able to give walks of different lengths. Your dog can also stay in a separate room, upon request. Both of us work from home, so there will always be at least one person with the dogs at all times. We are able to provide morning, lunchtime, and evening walks. Boarding is available upon request. We can accommodate most dates! We have a fenced garden and a friendly labrador if your dog needs company. We can provide a separate sleeping area for your dog if needed. We do not have a crate, so if crating is required, we would need the crate to be dropped off and picked up.
About: I am a qualified veterinary nurse. I have worked in the veterinary industry for 12 years and qualified in 2023. I have done various house sittings and walks for dogs and house sittings for cats over the last 12 years. I am self employed in the veterinary industry - so likely won’t work if I am looking after your pets. If I did - it would be in the local area. I offer home sitting and drop ins for both cats and dogs. I also offer walks for dogs in a variety of places in the area 😊 Your pets will be treated like I treat my own with lots of play and attention. If they prefer their own space, I will respect that and be there to take care of them.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life and currently care for both a Doberman and a Maltese Terrier, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have years of hands-on experience with everything from energetic puppies to older dogs who need a gentler touch. I’m confident handling big dogs on walks, and I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and cared for. I treat every pet like family and bring a calm, reliable energy. I’m currently at Cardiff university a few days a week which finishes early afternoon, meaning I have lots of spare time for walking and sitting. When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to maintain their usual routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, needs, and quirks so I can give them the same love and attention they’re used to. I’m always respectful of the owner’s space, follow all instructions carefully, and keep communication open with regular updates and photos. On walks, safety is my top priority — I’m experienced with handling all sizes of dogs, including strong breeds like Dobermans, and I’m always alert to our surroundings. Your pet’s happiness, comfort, and well-being come first with me.

“This was the second time Mollie has looked after Rusty, and once again she was brilliant. Rusty was clearly excited to go back, which says it all! It's so reassuring to know he's happy and being well cared for. We were updated with lovely pictures, and Mollie's communication throughout was brilliant. We highly recommend Mollie, and have already booked again!”
“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 feel incredibly lucky to have found such an amazing dog boarder! They cared for our dog over two long weekends while we were away, and the experience could not have been better. From the very beginning, it was clear how much love and attention they give to the dogs in their care. They sent frequent updates and so many wonderful photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were gone. It meant the world to see our dog out on walks, playing happily, and looking so relaxed and content. They truly went above and beyond, after a muddy walk, they even bathed him so he came home clean and fresh. They provided plenty of toys to soothe and comfort him, made sure he got lots of exercise, and most importantly, gave him so much affection and reassurance. When we picked him up, he was happy, calm, and clearly very well cared for. We are so grateful for the kindness, attentiveness, and genuine love they showed our dog. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional, trustworthy care.”

“The absolute best dog sitters you could ask for. Elle and Tom looked after Oggie on our wedding day last Saturday. We met before-hand and it was immediately clear they are 100% the biggest dog lovers and the right people for the job! They came and picked him up just after the ceremony on the day which helped out so much. Honestly they are both wonderful people who were fantastic with our big boy! 10/10 I would recommend any day. THANK YOU.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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”
“If you want your dog to be with a lovely family and well taken care of then choose Phoebe. I am so happy with the way she cared for my dog. We went away for 8 nights and I needed someone who was great with shy dogs as my dog is a rescue and can be a little unsure at first. We had never left him before so I was nervous, Phoebe reassured me and she and the family bonded with him straight away. I was sent plenty of update's and photos and he looked so happy. I will definitely be sending him back.”
“Kirsty looked after Spencer so well, he had a great time - think he’d have been happing staying! Plenty of activities, walks, playing and cuddles. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend, and would definitely take him to Kirsty again. Kirsty also sent lots of photos and communication was really good! Very happy indeed.”
“Jac had a lovely time with Jack - he was very happy and chilled 😎 with lots of updates and feedback how he was getting on. Makes our holiday all the better knowing he’s well cared for.”
“Thank you Emily for caring for Bert! He was clearly very well looked after with lots of love and affection! Emily kept us updated by sending some lovely photos and was great with communication. We will 100% be booking with Emily again, thank you”
“Luna had the best stay with Marcus. Excellent communication, frequent updates, and lots of walks and love. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. We would definitely book with him again - top tier dog sitter!”
“Just picked up Barney from Emily and he is so chilled. He clearly had a wonderful time. Emily has been great. Right from the first contact she put Barney (and me) at ease with her calm manner. She sent some lovely pics during the weekend and her handover when we picked Barney up showed how attentive and caring she has been. We would definitely recommend her.”
“Our Pegi had a wonderful time with Mari and family, she was so well looked after. Mari kept us up to date with messages and photos. Will definitely be booking in again soon. Thank you so much!”
