Doggy Day Care Blaenau Gwent

About: Our family have been around and owned dogs our entire lives. My husband and I have been looking after family and friends dogs together for nearly 5 years. We are newly established as a licensed home boarders taking 2 doggy guests at a time alongside our two neutered boys, and we want to offer as much flexibility and tailoring as possible for you and your pets comfort! I work from home weekdays so dogs have plenty of company! We can do walks at breakfast, lunch and dinner time, and weekends we can go for nice long and more adventurous walks (weather and dog dependant!) We have a large fenced back garden, half grass and half stone/slabs, and a smaller fenced front garden with grass and stone, the dogs can go anywhere in our home except my daughters room in case of teddy theft! We have a huge sofa so there is plenty of space for cwtches! We are pretty relaxed, flexible and happy to make accommodations to make sure all dogs are as happy as possible.

“Bowie had an amazing day at Sean and Ida’s today. He played with his new puppy friend all day. I was sent videos which reassured me he was happy as it was his first time away from home. He was picked up and dropped off to me which made it so convenient for me to go to work. They are lovely people and I trusted them implicitly. Would highly recommend!”

About: 🐾 A Calm, Licensed Home-from-Home Experience Thank you for taking the time to view my profile. I provide fully licensed home boarding in a calm family environment where your dog is treated as one of the household, not as part of a kennel environment. Why choose me? ✅ Fully licensed by the local authority ✅ I work from home, so your dog enjoys company throughout the day. ✅ I board ONE household at a time, meaning your dog(s) are never mixed with unfamiliar dogs. ✅ Meet & Greets are encouraged before every first booking. ✅ Individual care tailored to your dog's routine, personality and needs. 🏡 Exclusive Boarding Unlike many boarders, I only accept dogs from one household at a time.This provides: • A quieter, less stressful environment. • Ideal for nervous, elderly or rescue dogs. • Individual attention throughout their stay. • No mixing with unfamiliar dogs. As availability is naturally limited, early booking is recommended, particularly during school holidays and peak travel periods. 🐕 Boarding Capacity To ensure every dog has sufficient space, supervision and comfort, I operate a 3-2-1 Maximum Occupancy Policy. • Up to 3 Small dogs • Up to 2 Medium dogs • Or 1 Large / Giant breed (All dogs must be from the same household.) Experience I have experience caring for a variety of breeds including: • Border Collies • Boxers • Cocker Spaniels • Corgis • Australian Shepherds • Labradors • Lhasa Apsos • Australian Labradoodles • Rhodesian Ridgebacks I'm confident handling energetic working breeds as well as smaller companion dogs, adapting exercise, enrichment and care to each individual dog. 🩺 Vaccination Requirements As a licensed home boarder, I am legally required to verify that every dog in my care has current core vaccinations. Before a booking is confirmed, please provide a copy (digital or paper) of your dog's vaccination record covering: • Distemper • Infectious Hepatitis • Parvovirus • Leptospirosis This helps keep every dog safe while ensuring compliance with local authority licensing requirements. 🤝 Communication I aim to respond promptly to every enquiry and appreciate the same in return. Because I only board one household at a time, dates remain available to other owners until a booking is confirmed through Rover. NOTE - Bookings are automatically cancelled / archived if the required paperwork is not returned within 72 hours of issue or by 72 hours before the boarding start date (whichever is sooner). No exceptions. 🐾 What you can expect • A genuine home environment. • Daily updates and photographs (if you'd like them!). • Plenty of companionship throughout the day. • Calm, patient handling. • Walks and routines tailored to your dog's individual needs. • Your dog treated with the same care and respect I'd expect for my own. 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.

About: My partner has always been raised with dogs as pets for 20 years, these have ranged from boarder coillies, cocker spaniels, terroirs to Rottweilers. I have alway grown up around family dogs and have loved taking care of them, Our home will be your fur babies home away from home when they stay with us. Bella was the fifth member to our family, sadly we said goodbye to her in May 25. But we would treat your fur babies exactly the same as we treated Bella. Both of our children have been raised around dogs, and love getting involved with caring for them. I predominantly work from home and my partner works a rolling shift pattern so your fur babies will always have company when they stay with us. Bella is set in her ways however we would be more than willing to follow the same feeding scheduling that you implement for your dog. We would welcome your dog’s blankets, toys and beds to make them feel comfortable during their stay. We also have space for your fur babies to sleep in their create if needed. We have a large enclosed garden that your fur babies will have constant access to during their stay.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have had four family dogs over the years, giving me plenty of hands on experience caring for dogs with different personalities, sizes and needs. I also regularly dog sit for my neighbour, so I’m used to following owners routine and making sure dogs feel happy, safe and comfortable while they’re away. As a student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit dog care easily into my routine. I’m available most evenings, weekends, and during holidays and I’m happy to be flexible where possible. I enjoy spending time outdoors, so regular walks and playtime are something I genuinely look forward to. Whether your dog needs company while you’re away, a walk or overnight care, I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise and attention. I understand that every dog has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I always take the time to follow the owners instructions carefully. Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, I’ll make sure they have plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, and a safe, comfortable environment where they can relax.

About: We both come from households with dogs our whole lives. I’ve always had 2 dogs whilst growing up on a farm and Oli loved growing up with his dogs Bailey and Summer. The past couple years we have looked after a range of dogs whilst housesitting for friends and family. I am available all day and Oli works until 3 so available in the afternoon, leaving plenty of time to look after your pets! I work from home so there’s plenty of time for walking and attention for your pup. When Oli gets back he loves a walk and spend time in the garden. We have a fenced garden, with a park nearby and happy to take further if needed. Separate room downstairs for dog to stay in, but happy to have upstairs too!

About: I had my own cat for 15 years. I have looked after friends and families dogs and cats. Done drop ins for feeding and attention. Done dog walks for small and medium sized dogs. I currently run a small mug business from home which takes up hardly any of my time which means I can be available any day of the week for walks, pet pop ins, day care, boarding ect. Flexible with days and times. I have no children or any other pets. I live in a decent sized home with a fenced garden. Me and my husband do not smoke.

“Luna stayed with Karen for the second time yesterday. Karen put us at ease with lots of messages and photographs and again we would highly recommend Karen for her care of our Luna, who means so much to us. Thank you Karen, see you soon.”

“My little dachshund Efa has now had several stays with Kate and her lovely lurchers. Efa can be quite nervous around other dogs and new people but at the first meeting, Kate was so relaxed and calm, we both felt comfortable straight away. Kate sent me photographs of Efa happily curled up on her lap which was very reassuring. Wally and Barney were very friendly and gentle with my much smaller dog and she had a great time playing with them. I cannot recommend Kate highly enough and it’s great to see Efa jumping out of the car and charging up the drive to see her new friends ❤️”

About: I've been pet and house sitting with my mum since I was a teen. I have experience training puppies, caring for kittens, pet sitting dogs of all ages and have great connections with cats and dogs alike! Couch potatoes or energetic toy chasers, all welcome with me!! I'm a recent University Graduate who's moved home and looking to hang out with some lovely pups. My routine is flexible depending on you and your dog's needs. I live my childhood home with a walled garden only 15 minutes away from Pontypool Park and 4 minutes away from woodlands. I also have experience pet sitting in other homes, always respectful and careful not to interfere with the home or the pet's routines.

“Definitely recommend Becca! I feel very comfortable leaving our pup Cookie with her. Such a lovely environment for dogs to be playing in. Gives updates throughout the day with videos and messages, which obviously puts our minds at ease! Loves our fur babies as if they’re her own. 100% will return to Becca, Our fur baby had an amazing fun time🥰💖”

“My husband and I booked Beverly to take care of our little boy when we go on Holiday for a week. We were very nervous to leave him, so booked an earlier date for a day so they could get to know each other. Beverly took such amazing care of him and genuinely treated him as though he was hers. He spent hours playing in the garden and made friends with her gorgeous dogs. When my husband went to collect him, he didn’t want to come home! We’re so happily to have found someone to trust to look after him for us to go on holiday. We know he will have the most amazing week with Beverly and her dogs.”

About: Grown up with dogs my whole life. I’ve wanted to be a veterinarian when I grew up but I couldn’t as I wouldn’t be able to do the things they do to animals cause I get so emotional. I did animal care training with ACT and worked with all animals. I’m a stay at home mam so dogs won’t ever be left alone during the day unless I drop my daughter to school which is only 5 mins down the road from where I live so can talk toe dog or dogs with me to drop her off at school then take them for a long walk around my local park I have a small garden with a gate right down to the floor so they can’t escape. They will have free roam of the house (except upstairs)

“Tina was able to help us out with our last minute request Bella. Tina saw quickly that we weren’t local so a meet and greet beforehand wasn’t possible Therefore she suggested a phone call so we were able to introduce ourselves, tell her about Bella and ask any questions. Having had that call with Tina we felt confident that all would be fine. On meeting Tina outside her house our good impressions from the call were immediately confirmed. Tina obviously has a deep love for dogs and knows how to care for them - we wouldn’t hesitate to contact her again if we had a similar need and would recommend her wholeheartedly. Bella enjoyed her time and was very relaxed ..,and we enjoyed talking to Tina and her family..”

About: I’ve always had a love for dogs and animals. Growing up, my family always had dogs, and today I have a wonderful 3-year-old Cavapoo who keeps me on my toes and reminds me every day just how important exercise and companionship are for our furry friends. I love spending time outdoors, whether that’s exploring local walking routes, enjoying the fresh air or discovering new places to walk. Combining that passion with my love of dogs inspired me to start Castle Paws. I understand how much our pets mean to us. They’re not just animals – they’re family. My goal is to provide a reliable, caring and trustworthy service that gives owners peace of mind while ensuring their dogs are happy, safe and well cared for. Services include: 🐶 Dog Walks 🐾 Puppy & Dog Visits 🏡 Doggy Day Care 🏝️Holiday Dog Sitting 💍 Wedding Dog Chaperone Service If you’d like to learn more or have any questions, please feel free to send me a message. I am currently running my dog services business full time, so pet care is my main focus. This allows me to offer a flexible schedule and dedicate quality time to the dogs in my care. I love being outdoors and spending my days walking, exploring and providing dogs with the exercise, attention and companionship they need. I have a fully enclosed, secure garden where dogs can safely enjoy some outdoor time, play and relax. I also have my own friendly 3-year-old Cavapoo who enjoys having company and meeting new friends. Before any bookings, we will arrange a meet and greet to ensure your dog is comfortable with me, my dog and their new environment. I understand every dog has their own personality, so I will always tailor their care to suit their individual needs, whether they enjoy playing, exploring, relaxing or having their own quiet space.
