Friends for Pets Cardiff

We've used Friends for Pets several times over the last few years and have always had a really positive experience. Both Anna and Beth have visited our two cats and we always feel reassured that they're well looked after when we're away. Beth sends us pictures and updates from her visits which is always appreciated and we feel like she's got to know our cat's different personalities really well! We'll definitely continue to use Friends for Pets and would recommend them to anyone looking for reliable pet visits :)

My dog Martha loves her walks with Catherine. She also loves having her holidays with Anna (I'm sure she prefers staying with Anna more than being at home!!). We wouldn't use any other company. They are reliable, friendly and most of all they love Martha as much as we do.

Friends for Pets have been walking my Sprocker Morgan for over 18 months, having previously used them when Morgan was puppy.

They offer an excellent, reliable service, and always accommodate, where possible, any last minute changes.

Morgan loves going out with Aunty Anna and her Spaniel gang. I love seeing their adventures on insta and FB, I can tell she’s having a great time, she returns home, happy and relaxed. Can’t recommend them enough!

Our doggo has been walking with Auntie Anna for over a year now, and she absolutely loves it! We got her during COVID and as such were unable to socialise properly, she got on well with other dogs, but we wanted her to have more regular interactions with different dogs.

Since we found Friends for Pets we have been using their services for 1 walk per week. It’s her favourite day and she really looks forward to her jaunts with Auntie Anna and friends.

We are very happy with the services we have received and hope to keep our weekly walk with Auntie Anna and friends for the foreseeable. Thank you!

This is where you’ll normally find Rufus before and after his walks with Anna. If I could post a video of them together I would because he has such love for her! Trusting someone with my pup was always going to be tough but after meeting Anna I was completely sold.......not just because she was lovely and put me and my husband at ease but because our mad spaniel Rufus took to her immediately pinning her down and giving her endless amounts of kisses. He’s always so excited to see her and loves being out and about with all the other dogs. Friends for pets and Anna especially give Rufus the attention, exercise and love that we can’t when we are at work so I cannot praise them highly enough. They really care for your pet as if they were their own and ultimately that’s what we wanted. If you’re looking for a dog walker or someone to visit your precious pet these are the guys for the job.

Eric my cavapoo loves his pawsome days with Lisa - here he is waiting for her to arrive. She comes and picks him up in the morning and he spends the whole day with her and other dogs she's walking and comes back muddy, happy and tired. Friends for Pets is a professional setup; I made contact with Catherine who then paired me (well, Eric really!) with Lisa and we haven't looked back. I always feel confident in the care that Eric gets when he's out on his adventures with Lisa.

Friends for Pets Cardiff was recommended to me by my neighbor, when I began looking for a reputable dog walking business in the Cardiff area to regularly walk my 7year old golden retriever. And I have been so impressed with the professional service and care which is full of personal touches. Roku loves his walker, Anna, and when we first started, she took to the time to visit and meet Roku to make sure they'd be a good fit together. Anna makes sure he is well cared for, and I get weekly updates on how their walks together have been. I cannot recommend Friends for Pets Cardiff enough. This is a gem of a small locally owned business and I am so pleased to have found them!

I have been using friends for pets for the past 6 months and I can't thank them enough for all they do with my corgi Eric. He loves his walks with Aunty Anna and it's so nice to see the updates on social media when I'm in work. I think he has charmed Aunty Catherine also with his swamp antics!!!
Thank you so much!! xx

Friends for Pets have been a real life saver for us, since the daycare we used shut down. We were a bit stuck at that point.
Ralphie absolutely loves Anna, and is always excited for his walks. He always comes home happy and is set for the rest of the day while we're out at work.
Anna has been so helpful and flexible in changing days, or additional days here and there, and pointing us to other recommended services. So happy we found Friends for Pets and are over the moon with the service. Thank you!

Anna has been looking after my cats for a couple of years. She's fab, really reliable and sends updates and photos and makes a fuss of the boys. When she's been unavailable she has been able to arrange for a colleague to do the visits. She even feeds the hedgehogs who have made a home in the garden. Highly recommend.

Anna has been absolutely brilliant with our 2 dogs, walking and boarding them. Always flexible and sensitive to their needs, our girls clearly love her to bits. Highly, highly recommended!

I was extremely nervous finding a dog walker but luckily Catherine was recommended to me. Catherine is absolutely fantastic with my four year old cocker spaniel. We recently transitioned from him going to a full days daycare in a centre to walks with Catherine. He wasn’t getting on well with the daycare as he’s very sensitive. Catherine has really taken the time to get to know Boris and all his little quirks. He absolutely adores her and gets so so excited to go on his walks. She even bought a new lead to accommodate him. I absolutely love the photos from all his adventures. I cannot recommend her enough! She’s a really lovely lady, a true dog lover and a fantastic dog walker!!

Cath has looked after my cat Smudge since he was a kitten. She is great and I know I can go on holiday with complete peace of mind that he will be well looked after ☺. Also, on occasions when Cath hasn't been available she's always been able to arrange for another member of the FFP team to step in. They are all so fab, friendly and reliable and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone who needs a pet sitter 😻.

Friends for Pets came to our rescue when our dad was unexpectedly taken into hospital. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Catherine found us a dog walker (Anna) so quickly and Anna went out of her way to accommodate our needs, regularly going above and beyond. I don’t know what we would have done without them. We are so grateful 🙏

I was a bit nervous about sending my dog with a new walker after moving house, but I could tell from the first few messages from Catherine (the owner) how lovely they were & how much they cared about the dogs. Her dog walker Georgina is just as lovely & Betty loves her, she cries/howls with excitement when she sees Georgina at the door & always comes back so happy,. You can tell she's had the best time by her wiggly bum. I get pictures and videos of her with her pals which are so lovely to see. I wouldn't trust anyone else with Betty now, Friends for Pets are fab.

The Friends for Pets Cardiff team are brilliant. We brought our puppy (Bonnie) home a few weeks before lockdown. As she then couldn't spend as much time as was needed with other dogs, she was quite timid around them. We decided to get in touch with Friends for Pets to help Bonnie's confidence, both with other people and with other dogs. We were paired up with Anna and she has been completely amazing. She matches Bonnie with other dogs that will boost her confidence and we've seen a real difference! An added bonus has been the additional car practice that Anna gives Bonnie when she takes her out for walks. On top of what we've been doing, it's really helped Bonnie get over her travel sickness.

Anna's really communicative it's been working really well around our schedule. And considering how bananas Bonnie goes when Anna arrives, I think it's safe to assume that everyone is happy. It's really reassuring to know that Bonnie has a familiar face to stay with if we ever need and once she's old enough <3

My dog absolutely loves the team at Friends for Pets. Would highly, highly recommend them. If you're considering a dog walker, don't hesitate with Catherine and her team.

My Labrador LOVES going for walks with Lisa - I think it's a real highlight of her day! The Team have been so helpful in supporting us through the first few months with our new puppy, jumping in to help out when my husband went into hospital. For Amber, the experience of walking with Lisa and her doggy friends has been invaluable in providing a range of adventures which otherwise just would not have been possible in Lockdown.

This was our first time to use a cat sitting service for us to go on holiday and I was so happy to have found Friends for Pets Cardiff. Anna was amazing and I was reassured from the start that my fur babies were in safe hands, we had regular contact and I was even updated on how they were doing whilst away. I will definitely use this company again and would 100% recommend them!

Catherine and Lisa provide an excellent service at Friends for Pets. Honey, our Cavachon, loves going for walks with them and it is comforting to know she is having a good walk with people we can trust, when we are at work.
They are both very flexible and accommodating, and will often fit Honey in for a walk at the last minute! I highly recommend them as a dog walking service!
