Pet care experience
Licensed Family Dog Boarding 🐾🐶❤️
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 don’t have any pets ourselves and typically only take on 1 dog at a time so your dog will have our full attention and affections! 🐾 I live in a spacious three-bedroom home with my partner (Ashley) and his 13-year-old son. 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. I’m very happy to follow specific routines, feeding schedules or medication requirements. 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. 🐾

Ratings and reviews
Phoebe and her family were superb! Really reassuring and accommodating of my last minute request. Phoebe was really thorough with checks which was really reassuring when it came to leaving Barney with somebody that I hadn't met before. Her set up is beautifully set up for looking after dogs, she has a cute little sleeping area and loads of dog toys which put Barney at ease straight away. I'm super grateful and would highly recommend!
Phoebe looked after our dogs for six days when we went to Portugal, and she couldn't have been more caring and responsive to our needs, giving us lots of updates. It was so easy to communicate with her. I felt very happy knowing that our dogs were in her care, and I'd love to use her again in the future and would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone else looking for someone to look after their pets. Thanks, Phoebe!
Phoebe and family were absolutely brilliant! My whippets are fairly shy but after half a day had fully settled in (which is rare for them). I had daily updates and they were very well looked after, with lots of tlc. Thoroughly recommend!
Great. Benji had a great holiday with Phoebe while we had ours. Phoebe took great care of him and he got plenty of exercise!
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.
Great dog sitter. Ticks all the boxes for us. Our dog's home away from home. Fully recommended.

Schedule
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.
