“Really great communication through and Emma sent lots of pictures of Comet during his stay which was very reassuring. Comet returned tired and happy which is the sign of a good sleep over! Many thanks.”
“Kev had the absolute best time staying with Liam and Timmy and we wouldn't board him anywhere else. We were kept up to date with lots of photos and videos of Kev out on his adventures with their dog Macey. They even gave him a bath when he had too much fun in the mud. He's come home smelling amazing and with the cutest little photo frame to remember his holidays which was an amazing touch. Thanks so much for treating Kev like your own this weekend, he'll be back!! 🐕🦺🖤”
“Hugo had a wonderful time staying with Lucy, Luke and family. I received loads of updates and photos over the weekend. Hugo absolutely loved it. When we have used kennels in the past, he cries the minute we pick him up but after picking him up from Lucy, he was the same, happy bouncy dog. He has high energy but Lucy managed to tire him out and I have no doubt beautiful Gwen, their puppy labrador, helped too. I would never return to normal kennels after this experience. It was home from home for Hugo. Thank You! Would 100% recommend. 🤎”
About: ***LOCAL AUTHORITY LICENCED**** Please note - I accept multiple dogs from the same household, but in order to provide the best boarding experience possible, I operate on a "3-2-1 Max" principle, so my limits are... 3 Small dogs 2 Medium dogs 1 Large / Giant dog At one time! I have experience caring for breeds such as Border Collies, Boxers, Cocker Spaniels, Corgis, Austrian Shepherds, Labradors, Lhasa Apsos, and Australian Labradoodles. Confident with energetic working breeds as well as smaller companion dogs, providing tailored care, exercise, and calm handling based on individual needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as I already walk 2–3 times a day, typically for around an hour each walk. I structure my day around providing consistent exercise, attention, and supervision, ensuring dogs get plenty of physical activity and stimulation throughout their stay. I’m at home for most of the day, so dogs are rarely left alone for long periods. My routine allows me to maintain a calm, stable environment with regular feeding times, walks, rest, and supervised garden access. I’m flexible and able to adjust my schedule to suit each dog’s individual needs, energy levels, and routines, including puppies or dogs that require more frequent attention. I provide a calm, safe home environment where dogs are treated like part of the family and their usual routines are followed, including feeding, exercise, and rest. I only board dogs from one household at a time, ensuring full attention, a stress-free environment, and no mixing with unfamiliar dogs. Dogs have access to a secure garden for supervised outdoor time, alongside tailored walks based on their individual needs and energy levels. I take a careful, responsible approach to care, prioritising safety, consistency, and comfort so each dog can settle quickly and feel at home. Owners receive regular updates with messages and photos for complete peace of mind while their dog is in my care.
“SUPERB. We couldn’t recommend Becs more highly if we tried. Our 14 month old Ridgeback had a fabulous 5 night stay whilst we went away on holiday, and we shall certainly not hesitate to book her in again. Experienced, calm and friendly; Becs made a ‘home from home’ for Zia where she settled quickly and enjoyed numerous beautiful walks and snuggles on the sofa. We had peace of mind through a daily update and picture, meaning we were able to enjoy our own holiday, stress free. Thank you so much, Becs! X”
“Emma is lovely and has been very gentle and patient with my anxious rescue dog. Her home is quiet and peaceful with a lovely garden. My dog looked happy and relaxed in the photos and videos she sent me.”
“First time using boarding and can't thank Sean and his partner for looking after our dog, pearl, especially at short notice (as attending my mum's funeral) Sean has been amazing! Messages and pictures sent throughout the evening and morning, showing her out on walks and settled within the home. Pearl has always been overexcited when we pick her up from the kennels but this wasn't the case today, she was very calm so know she must have felt safe and settled staying with Sean and his family. Thanks so much again Sean! Would highly recommend”
About: Hey! We’re Shan & Jam we’re a 29 year old couple & we’re about to be your dog’s new best friends!👋🏻 We’re on a mission to soak up all the doggy cuddles we can this year, not just because we’re obsessed with dog’s (which we are) but because we’re warming up for PAWrenthood 🐾 So, instead of impulse buying a terrier on a random Tuesday (which we absolutely were close to doing) we’re channeling our love into looking after other people’s furbabies for now!👀 Jam has had experience in owning a dog full time, for 4 years as she took on her dad’s Staffordshire bull terrier, Max back in 2016 until he sadly passed in 2020. Therefore she now has history with this breed & their loving but sometimes crazy nature🤪 Shan has had experience, being a co-owner to Coco, a Shihtzu cross for 8 years, who was a yappy madam🤭 We both have cared for other dogs such as Buddy the Yorkie, who we fostered for a year🥹 Dolly the frenchie who we rehomed, who was Shan’s Grancha’s beloved dog🥺 And, we’ve had the pleasure of spending time with our family & friends dog’s over the years, walking & watching them. And our regular dog we sit, Daisy the 14 year old Chihuahua who has dementia🐶 Therefore combined, we have a fair amount of mixed experience with dogs☺️ IMPORTANT: Please DON’T book us until, we confirm the booking AFTER we’ve met your dog in person. Thankyou!😌 We have a lot of time on our hands, due to not having children & working from home, which makes us available most days, dates & times to suit your needs. But please message us to enquire 📅 We will be caring for your dogs in a cozy yet spacious flat with our own front door (not a shared block) & a private, fenced off front garden great for zoomies & bathroom breaks. We’ve even added extra security with chicken wire for those extra small doggies👀 While it’s not Buckingham Palace, it’s clean, comfy & 100% dog-approved! ✅ If stairs are tricky for your pup, that’s no problem they’ll get the full VIP treatment (yes, we do offer a personal carrying service)👩🏻✈️
“Alzbeta looked after our little puppy Marshall over night, she really made every effort in making us feel at ease and happy to leave him with her. She sent us regular updates of him playing, out walking, his feeding and sleeping. She is a really lovely lady and we would 100% recommend her and feel happy to leave Marshall again. Thank you so much for being so kind and caring towards Marshall. A beautiful secure safe and clean home where he was treated like a baby! We look forward to seeing you again soon.”
“Alison took care of my cat Bella for two weeks and I can’t sing her praises enough. What a lovely caring lady, my cat settled in well which was a great relief as I’d not left her before. I received daily updates and photos which put my mind at rest. I would highly recommend Alison to anyone who’s looking for a responsible caring sitter for their pet.”
“Abigail and Jose hosted our rescue pup for a trial night which was his first time staying away from home since we’ve had him. Their care and attention to detail was phenomenal and instantly made us and Tiggy feel safe and comfortable. So willing to work around our dogs needs and he had the most amazing time, he wanted to stay and go on another scenic walk in the countryside. ☺️”

Growing up through high school we brough home a little Yorkshire terrier 'cariad' we is still going strong at the age of 14! Cariad is a character who one minute melts your heart to then given you heart attack by not chewing good she stole! This led to me saving her life, whenever she visits I never take my eyes off her due to the fear of that happening again! Some say I'm way over the top by my love for that dog is to big to type into words. Kishy the lovely sheep dog has also joined my pack and is the best dog ever I work shift patterns which consists of 2-10pm & 6-2pm through the week, working 1 weekend in 3 at this moment. I am looking for another job which is 8-4 but will have weekends available. My wife works Saturdays until around 4 so I have time to spend with a new best friend I would treat anyones home the same as mine with respect & dignity. I mostly enjoy being outdoors so having a new walking Friend would be amazing.

absolutely amazing! This was the first time that we used Liz and i can’t emphasise how brilliant she was! My dog (Lily the Chow Chow) had herself the most amazing little holiday whilst we were off abroad. Liz gave her amazing walks every say, rain or shine and dropped me such lovely videos, messages and pictures. My dog is my baby and I felt so at ease knowing she was clearly being so well loved and cared for whilst we were away! Honestly I would highly recommend and would not dream of using anybody else in the future. Thank you so much - Lily had a blast and will be back with you in the future ❤️

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Blaenau Gwent
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Blaenau Gwent on Rover is £32.2 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 542 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Blaenau Gwent. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Finding the right boarding environment is all about peace of mind. Boarding with a sitter on Rover helps you find a cosy experience in a real home for your dog.
When searching for a host, look for a sitter who:
- Offers a secure, home-like environment that is clean and welcoming
- Adheres to your dog’s established routine for meals, activity, and rest
- Possesses relevant experience with your pet’s specific breed, size, and personality
- Maintains clear communication regarding the frequency of photo and message updates
Don’t skip the Meet & Greet! The free Meet & Greet is the best way to see where your dog will sleep and who they might play with.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poo breaks occured. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog's vaccines is the best way to be 'boarding ready'. Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Sitters in Wales may request that your dog be up-to-date on core vaccines, such as Canine Distemper, Canine Parvovirus, Canine Adenovirus (also known as DHP or DHPPi), Leptospirosis and Kennel Cough. Cats may be required to have Feline Panleucopenia Virus, Feline Herpesvirus, Feline Calicivirus, and Feline Leukaemia Virus up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Every sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
We require sitters to operate in compliance with applicable local licensing requirements. In England, pet sitters who board dogs or provide doggy day care as a business may need a valid licence under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018. When vetting your sitter, ask if they meet local licensing requirements for dog boarding. This confirmation is important for coverage under the Rover Guarantee. Read more about our requirement for following local licensing requirements .
