Boycie looked very happy and content during his stay with Ana and her family. This makes Cindi and I very relaxed about the pending 2 week stay. The photographs that Ana sent to us showed Boycie happily walking alongside them and running (off his lead) for a ball which he absolutely loves.

About: I have a lot of experience being a pet sitter through owning my dog Rio. Taking sensible care of my labrador taught me the importance of understanding a dogs needs and the safety and love they need to ensure that their a happy doggo. I am extremely patient and reliable, I care very deeply about the comfort and care that they will receive off me. Every sloppy kiss and tail wag reminds me of why they are my source of happiness 🥺 I have grown up with dogs my entire life and have learned their routines and their high energy levels! I have taken care of friends and families dogs for the longest time. Since losing my dog Rio, I have missed the love and the joy of having a dog around me constantly. Wherever Rio was, I was there too. I would love to be able to give your dog the cuddles and attention that they need and deserve🥰 🌟Meet & Greets available 🌟Updates with photos/videos I am currently only working a part-time summer job that allows me to give all my time away to pet care and companionship for your dog. Whether it is in my own home or a visit, I care for dogs by creating a safe and calm environment for them to feel as comfortable as possible in.

About: Hey, i’m Laura ! Working in HR as my day job allows me to be flexible working from home in the week. I love being able to look after a dog and have company whilst in the house. Hours are flexible so allow me to go on long walks whenever needed. Im currently working full time, but work from home so have full flexibility on caring for a gorgeous dog at the same time. I am also available for boarding, so will make this available as and when available. I live in a house with a garden and lots of space for your dog to feel relaxed, or cwtched up - whatever they prefer! I will ensure all instructions are adhered to, as with my own, i would want to make sure they had an enjoyable experience without causing them distress with a new face. I’d ask questions to ensure you felt satisfied we had covered everything beforehand.

About: I love all animals, from the tiniest to the hugest! Dogs and cats have been part of my life since I was very small. Growing up with dogs and cats, looking after friends, family & neighbours pets while they were out, working, on holiday or ill. If I am honest, I often prefer to spend my time with furry friends than with human ones. My care and love for any animal is no different than for my own. Unfortunately I lost both of my dogs to old age over the past 2 years and miss them like crazy. My best buds. I am confident with any breed of dog, would respect any of your training rules and follow them for consistency. I have experience with medication administration and senior care. I love walking, so me and your fur baby would have the best times out & about. I would only walk one to one, never group walk, so my attention and care would be for your dog only, and so long as it was ok with your dog, there would be lots of cuddles available!! Although my profile states I have a dog, Dixie does not live with me, she lives with my Son...I am Dixie's Nanny 💖 I am also DBS checked. I currently work from home so have plenty of time for play dates & cuddles with your dog or cat! I love walking on the beach, in woodland areas and parks, so anywhere your dog prefers is fine with me.....we could explore new places together! If at home, we can play in or explore the garden, snuggle on the sofa for a snooze or share a treat or 2 🥰 I have a fenced garden, no pets at home and no children. My profile states I have a dog, but she lives with my Son, I am Dixie's Nanny 😍 I would absolutely following all your house rules. Your furbaby would be as safe as possible with me, I would treat them as I would my own....with love, kindness, patience and respect 🤍

About: I’ve grown up with pets for as long as I can remember, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and making sure they feel happy, safe, and comfortable while they’re away from home. I live in a peaceful rural area with plenty of space for dogs to explore, play, or simply relax and enjoy the quiet surroundings. Over the years, I’ve looked after dogs for friends and family, from regular walks to longer stays, and I always treat them with the same care and attention I would give my own pets. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your dog, and I aim to provide a calm, loving environment where they feel settled, cared for, and part of the family. I am currently self-employed and work from home, so I’ll have plenty of time to walk, care for, and give attention to your dogs throughout the day. I have plenty of space here for them to roam around, play, and feel comfortable in a safe environment. I have a large enclosed garden to keep your dogs safe and secure while they play and explore. I currently don’t have any other dogs at home, which makes it a calm and peaceful environment, especially well suited for quieter or more timid dogs.

About: We've been housesitting for over 4 years now and have completed 30+ housesits, consistently leaving pets very happy and houses well cared for and clean. We have had the pleasure of taking care of a variety of pets, different breeds and ages, from young and energetic to older and more relaxed. We’ve cared for small dogs (Yorkshire terriers) all the way through labradors, cocker spaniels and up to Rottweiler/ German shepherd cross and a 50kg Greek Shepherd. We now have our own house and a gorgeous cocker spaniel who is just over 1 years old, who is very well behaved and friendly with other dogs. We have a safe fenced garden and plenty of great walks to go on nearby. We're comfortable administering medication, including insulin injections and heart medication, and we understand the importance of timing to ensure the pets receive their medication on schedule. We love going on long adventures with dogs, exploring new places as well as keeping the pets company around the house. We work from home so will always be around to keep your dog company and we have plenty of time for play time and walks. We also have a 1 year old female cocker spaniel who is very well socialised and loves to play. We live on a safe quiet road with a fenced garden. We have plenty of dog toys already to play with and a big sofa for cuddles!

Sian was absolutely lovely and stepped in last minute when another sitter cancelled my daycare booking. Toby was right at home and very comfortable when we had our meet and greet, lovely secure garden and lovely home. Sian was very understanding when our day trip was unfortunately cancelled but I will definitely be booking again in the future.

About: Nijo & Jenny Animals have always been a big part of my life. I grew up in a home with multiple dogs and cats and have cared for pets for many years. Over time, I have looked after and cared for dogs ranging from small breeds to large breeds, each with their own unique personalities, needs and routines. As a Merchant Navy Officer, I have 2 mo tha rotation, where I am onboard for 2-3 and at home on leave for 2-3 months. During my leave periods, I am home full-time for up to two months at a stretch, allowing me to provide plenty of companionship, exercise and supervision. My wife and I are both passionate animal lovers and regularly help friends with their dogs. Due to my work pattern we are unable to get a dog ourselves currently but we try to compensate that by lending a hand to our friends with pets. We understand that every pet is different, and we strive to provide a safe, loving and stress-free home away from home where pets are treated as part of the family. We ourselves use rover when we go for vacations and understand the situation, we strive to create a second home for your furry friends and would be part of our family. When I am on leave from work, I am available at home full-time and can dedicate my attention to your pet throughout the day. This allows me to maintain their usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, rest periods and plenty of companionship. I enjoy spending time outdoors and regularly visit local walking areas such as Brynna Woods and Smilog Woods. Depending on your dog's preferences and energy levels, I can also provide longer walks, park visits and beach outings. I only accept one household's dog at a time, ensuring your pet receives individual attention and a calm environment. Your pet's safety and wellbeing are my highest priorities. My wife and I live in a spacious home with a secure fenced back garden, providing a safe environment for dogs to relax, play and explore. We also share our home with our friendly domestic shorthair cat, Simba, who is comfortable around dogs that respect her space. Before every booking, I take time to understand your pet's routine, preferences, dietary requirements and any special instructions. My wife is a medical doctor and is happy to assist with routine medications if required, providing additional reassurance for owners whose pets may need ongoing treatment during their stay. I only accept one household's dog at a time, ensuring your pet receives individual attention, plenty of supervision and a calm environment. I will also provide regular photo and video updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, comfortable and well cared for.

She has been absolutely wonderful with Adis. She has been able to accommodate us very early in the morning, has always been punctual, and is extremely thorough in the care she provides. I really appreciate the detailed notes she takes about Adis’s wees, sleep times, and general wellbeing, as well as the regular updates she sends. Most importantly, I can tell she genuinely loves animals, which is incredibly reassuring. Adis is almost 19 years old and blind, so he needs gentle, attentive care, and she has looked after him so well. I feel very comfortable knowing he is in such kind and capable hands. Highly recommended.

Recently had the pleasure of having Mia take care of my dog Cooper and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the meet and greet Mia was warm and welcoming and clearly loves dogs. Throughout the stay Mia kept me updated with regular photos and messages which gave me peace of mind knowing that Cooper was in good hands. Cooper seemed to have a fantastic time enjoying walks, playtime and lots of cuddles. Mia was also very accommodating with drop off and pick up times making the whole process smooth and stress free. I highly recommend Mia to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.

About: My home offers a calm, quiet sanctuary where dogs can relax and feel at ease right away. Without the excitement and noise of children around, pets can settle into their routine more easily and enjoy a stress-free environment. With 12 years of hands-on experience caring for horses, dogs, and cats, I know what it takes to keep your beloved pets happy and healthy. As a fellow pet parent, I completely understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. Working from home gives me the flexibility to be available for your dog around the clock. My typical daily routine includes: • Early morning walk (before starting work) • Midday adventure (lunch break walk) • Evening stroll (end of workday) Together, these walks typically cover about 2 miles, but I’m happy to adjust the distance and intensity based on your dog’s breed, age, and fitness level. Some pups need more exercise to burn off energy, while others prefer shorter, gentler walks. Your dog will enjoy access to my fully secure garden where they can play, explore, and relax safely off-leash. Inside, they’ll be treated as part of the family with all the comforts of home. Sleeping arrangements are completely up to you: • Cozy up on the sofa for movie nights • Snuggle in bed for ultimate comfort • Sleep peacefully in their own crate if that’s their preference I believe every dog deserves to feel at home, so I’ll follow whatever routine makes your pup feel most secure and happy.

About: Hiya and happy to meet you, I am an animal lover, probably from birth! I have cared for a variety of animals since I was a very young child, from 4 legged furries to wings and scales! from taking in injured wildlife to multiple pets, my home growing up was a little rescue center. I grew up with multiple dogs at home, furries from rabbits to hamsters, birds, lizards and snakes. My passion for animals blossomed as I got older and for a longtime I worked in a zoo before specialising in parrot care and eventually becoming interested in wildlife ecology. Throughout the years I have always lent a hand looking after family and friends beloved fur balls from dog to cats and everything in between. With my house currently empty of pet life I would love the opportunity to give my love and care to another’s pet while their owner is away and look forward to long dog walks (I am very outdoorsy) or cuddles on the sofa and belly rubs. Looking forward to hearing from you 💜🐇🐶🐱 I currently work part-time (night shift) working two nights a week so home all day every day and have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies! I love being outdoors and taking long walks so would love the company of a pup. It’s a family environment in my house with me and my 3 year old son at home, we enjoy trips to the beach and checking out local nature reserves and country parks. Available for dog walking and home checkin’s anytime before 5pm on days I am working and anytime on days off (contact me for information on what days you need and I can coordinate with my work rota), available for boarding anytime during the week and weekends. Fur- babies are welcome in my home like a member of the family, I allow dogs/cats on furniture and bed (ofcourse unless otherwise requested by the owner), I have a medium- sized fenced garden and can provide a crate if needed. Litter trays provided for cats and dogs free to roam the garden whenever they please, dog walks several times a day. If caring for animals in a pet owners home I am always respectful of their wishes, home and routines.

We were first time Rover users and worried about leaving Merlin with anyone. Tia immediately made us and him more at ease when dropping him off. We were provided lots of updates including photos and videos of him enjoying his day. Will definitely be dropping him off again in the future. 10/10 service, thank you!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Bridgend

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Bridgend on Rover is £34.5 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 529 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Bridgend. About 86% of Bridgend sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later collection to match your Bridgend commute.

If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust collection and drop-off times when needed.

Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:

  • Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
  • Your dog's lead and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
  • Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
  • Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
  • Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalised care possible

Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.

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.

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.

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 .

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.

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.

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 .
