Doggy Day Care Cardiff

“Jack looked after my little pup for the first time. Communication was great from before drop off to pick up. From the moment we walked in it was such a friendly vibe. Zuri felt right at home and we instantly felt comfortable that he’d be happy. He was excited going in and after leaving them the photos we got from Jack throughout the day showed how much fun he had with Jack and his gorgeous two doggy friends, Myrtle and Dex, to play with. The updates were great and communicated well throughout, assuring us Zuri was in the best possible care. Looking after a pup is no easy feat, but Jack got stuck in from the start and did tremendously well meeting Zuri for the first time. He was very warm and Zuri found him approachable right away, he was so settled coming home and you could tell he had a fun packed day. Thank you so much Jack! Will definitely go with Jack again without any doubt!”

“Athena loved going to spend the day with Rachel. Rachel invited us to a Meet & Greet first where she got to spend some time with Athena and discuss her routine, commands and general behaviour. This meant their first day together was smooth, with Rachel updating me throughout with pictures. We will be using Rachel's services again and highly recommend.”

“Hugo seemed to really enjoy his time, I received lots of pictures and updates which was lovely. He also enjoyed playing with Chickoo. I will be booking again. Thank you 😊”

“I booked Winston in with Danah last minute for 2 days of day care. Winston had a lovely time. Danah was brilliant with providing updates and also administered eyedrops for me in the day which was really helpful. I would recommend her and would happily book Winston in with her again.”

About: I’ve had my own dog for 4 years and raised him from a puppy, so I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. As a dog owner and Rover user myself, I understand the level of care, love and attention every dog deserves. Your dog’s safety, comfort and happiness always come first, and I’ll make sure they’re treated like one of my own while they’re with me. I also have a real soft spot for dachshunds and specialise in caring for them. I understand their little personalities, their quirks, and the extra love and patience they need. I’ve looked after 4 dachshunds for longer stays and would love to become a regular sitter for owners looking for a safe, loving home-from-home for their dog while they’re away. You can expect a tailored and regular scheduled time to hang out, go for walks at the local parks. Lots of attention provided! We are very active and ratio about 3 to 4 walks a day as we enjoy getting out into the fields and enjoying the day. I provide dog walking, check ins at your residence if needed and I can offer doggy day care and overnight care. I’m available for all kind of specific needs your pet needs.

“We are delighted to have found Jackson to look after our dog. From the moment we met Jackson, we knew we had found the right person to look after our young dog.. Our dog is a little nervous when meeting new people but Jackson has got a calm persona and experience with dogs and it didn’t take long for Rupert to trust him. Jackson is also very accommodating and It was lovely to have updates and photos throughout the day. . We’ve already booked for another day care with Jackson and I’m sure Rupert will drag me to Jackson’s front door 😀. I would highly recommend Jackson in a heartbeat.”

About: We look after either dogs or cats. We live in the city centre and both work from home. There is a gated area at the back of the apartment for your pup’s toilet breaks as required, but we live 5 minutes away from Bute Park and we love going for long walks. We have both grown up around dogs, from gentle giant dobermans to mini Yorkshire terriers. As we both work from home we can both take care of pets twenty four seven, we will take them for walks and so they will never be left at home alone. We are very flexible and can accommodate your pet’s needs. The flat is spacious and there is room for a crate/bed if required. We will make sure to feed them as per their regular schedule.

“Helen and Ade took such good care of Ava, we're so grateful to have found someone that we know she'll love staying with. She clearly had a fab time with them and they obviously loved her too which was so lovely! Thanks both 😊”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and been the primary Walker. I’ve moved away from the family home and therefore always keen for opportunities to walk and look after other pets. I work on a hybrid basis and therefore typically have good availability to dog sit and dog walk throughout the week. I’m happy to have a conversation if there’s certain timings for pet care or schedule that works best for you. I always ensure that any pet is well looked after and comfortable in the pet owner or my home and they’re given full attention. I only walk and care for one dog at a time so each dog gets my full attention and there's no risk of dogs not getting along.

“Emily was a brilliant dog sitter. I think she's a bit of a dog whisperer! Emily was so gentle with Bodhi and she instantly bonded with Emily. It was a hot day but she kept Bodhi cool with a flannel. Great communication all day and filled in the Rover pet card for me. Would definitely ask Emily again to sit for Bodhi, and recommend her to others.”

“Excellent service. Would definitely use again. 😊”

“We’re very grateful to Lisa for caring for our nine month old pup, Obi. He was very happy with running around William and Dolly and loved his time there. We were kept reassured by updates and photos from Lisa. Highly recommended.”

With 10 years of experience, you can trust that your pets will be treated like family while they’re with me I work from home flexibly 4 days a week, so I have a lot of time to spend with a pet! I follow the routine provided by you when it comes to walking times, eating times and sleep.

About: I've had animals all my life. My folks always had dogs when growing up from Great Danes to Dalmatians. They also had pedigree Persians cats, which they bred. So I've helped our cats with their deliveries. Since i lived in my own house. I had 2 cats who lived until they were 18 &1/2, Charlie & 19 &1/2 Chewy, my boys were 6 weeks old when we got them. I'm having a break from getting anymore pets for now. I have had my friends dog Luna come to stay for a night or a few days. Luna is a samoyed breed, like a husky but wider. She's all white & built like a tank 😊 She's really excited for everything & everything & loves spending time at my house. I have a large garden with grass & I have a house, with a front concrete drive. I live around the corner from Jubilee Park, which is great to let dogs off the lead when empty. I leave my back door open so animals can come & go into the garden. Luna loves it she currently lives in a flat & doesn't have a garden. When she comes to mine she has more space & free run of my garden. So that's why I'm calling my service a doggie spa day, they will have a garden, walks, play, space, attention, as well as the normal food & water....edit I moved to a ground-floor flat with a patio garden in October 2025. You are welcome to visit my flat to view or I can send a video of the garden. Ask any questions, if you & your dog are happy then we'll get along great, thanks Diane 😊 As I'm at home daily except Friday and Saturday. I'll leave my back door open to my garden. My garden has grass and plants around the borders. Your pet can come and go as they want. Once I've done some work, I'll take a break and take your dog out to Jubilee park, which is around the corner. We'll have an hour or so depending on the weather in the park. Then we'll come back the slow way via capital retail park and maybe get a hot chocolate from Costa. Then we'll come home and I'll open the back door to my garden again. Then I'll do more work, while your dog shouts at the cats next-door 🤣 When we go out to the park we'll play and if no other animals I'll let your dog off the lead. We'll play catch & depending on the size of your dog will depend on how long we stay out. My friends dog Luna is a samoyed, a Siberian working dog, she's always happy & excitable. You can take her out for hours & she never tires but she loves my garden & shouting at the cats next-door I'll care for your pets like my own. My cats lived until they were 18 &1/2 Charlie & 19 &1/2 Chewy. I had them since they were 6 weeks old. It's heartbreaking to lose them. I would treat your animals like my own with love, kindness& a bit of strictness. I trained my cats that when they had fights that got rougher I would clap my hands loudly & they'd separate & both run off together 🤣. If you have a way to treat or disapline them I will do that. I'm there to make sure your animals are safe, happy & well loved while you are away. I'll send you video & photo updates daily if you want. I know what it's like to go away & leave your pets with someone. I want to help you have a good relaxing holiday and your animals to be happy & carefree while you're gone. When my friend comes to pick up Luna, she was in 2 minds whether to go 🤣. Her owner opened the back door to the car & called her but she stayed next to me 😊 I told her I'd see her soon & go, then she did. I'm just happy she enjoyed herself with me. I hope your animals will feel the same way when I take them into my home or I come to yours.

“Willow is an absolutely wonderful sitter and made our trip to Cardiff so much easier! Despite us being late every single day for pick up for various reasons, she was super reassuring and the photos of Dillon utterly conked out asleep all snuggled up made us feel super secure each day. Dillon also adored flatmate Ffi, so he couldn't have been happier! Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience with breeds ranging from Rottweilers and Dogue de Bordeaux to Labradors and Retrievers. Because of this, I’m comfortable handling large, strong, energetic dogs as well as more relaxed family pets. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine and needs, and I always take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe and cared for while their owners are away. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the sofa or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them happiest. I treat every dog as if they were my own and will keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. I work from home on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, which gives me great flexibility for morning and evening walks, as well as drop-in visits during my breaks. This means your dog won’t be left waiting around and can enjoy consistent attention throughout the day. I’m also fully available on weekends, so I have plenty of time for longer walks, park trips, play sessions, and lots of one-to-one attention. I always try to be as flexible as possible and am happy to discuss specific timing needs to keep your pet’s routine consistent and stress-free. Note: I work in the office Tuesday and Thursday Your pet’s safety, comfort, and wellbeing will always be my top priority. When caring for pets in their own home, I make every effort to maintain their usual routine, including feeding times, walks, playtime, medication (if required), and plenty of affection. I understand that many pets feel happiest in familiar surroundings, so I aim to provide calm, consistent care while you’re away. As a writer working from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care, ensuring they receive lots of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. Having owned dogs all my life, including large breeds such as Rottweilers and Dogue de Bordeaux, I’m confident handling dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I always take the time to understand each pet’s individual needs, personality, and any instructions provided by their owner. I’ll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: My wife, Nour, lived with dogs most of her life. Her first dog Sweetie, she had when she was 6 years old, then Queen at the age of 11. She learned how to take care of them from a young age with the support of her parents. At the age of 23, my wife got our current dog, Leo. He's a covid dog, with all the covid period "separation anxiety" which I personally think my wife has as well. As a couple we share responsibility of Leo, walking him at least twice per day. Going to walks, hikes, or run on the beach. We love dogs a lot and taking care of animals. My wife works from home and I work a hybrid schedule just a 4-minute walk away, meaning we are able to provide your pet with around-the-clock supervision and companionship. Our routine is consistent and active: we take a long walk before work, a mid-day stroll during our lunch break, and another walk in the evening. Because we are home nearly all day, we can easily adapt to your dog’s specific feeding, walking, and nap schedule to ensure they feel comfortable and right at home. We offer a safe, secure, and fully fenced backyard, perfect for outdoor play and potty breaks. We share our space with Leo, our incredibly chill and well-behaved resident dog who spends most of his day napping. Because Leo is so relaxed, he is a great companion for other dogs looking for a low-stress environment. We prioritize safety and comfort above all else, ensuring that your pet receives constant attention, regular affection, and a calm atmosphere where they can relax and thrive while you are away.

I work from home full-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for dogs throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine as I’m a very active person. Regular walks, toilet breaks and exercise are already a part of my day! I live in a clean, secure flat and don’t have any pets of my own so your dog will have my full attention. While I don’t have a garden, I’m happy to provide as many toilet breaks, walks & outdoor adventures your dog needs. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your baby with someone else, and I will always treat them with the same care & attention I’d want for my dog (Rosie!).
