Drop-in pet visits in Cathays

A long workday or an overnight away does not always need full boarding. A Cathays drop-in visit lets a Petme sitter stop by your Cardiff home to feed, refresh water, let the dog out, scoop the litter and check everything is fine, then send you a photo.

Each sitter is ID-verified and rated by other Cardiff owners, and the Protection Plan offers up to £20,000 for eligible incidents. Book one visit a day or several, and meet the sitter first so they know your keys, alarm and pet's routine.
