Dog Boarding in Merthyr Tydfil

“I honestly can’t thank Lucy and her family enough. This was a very last minute booking due to my partner needing surgery with only three days’ notice. I contacted Lucy on the Friday, we arranged a meet and greet on the Saturday, and Bella stayed Sunday and Monday night. The whole process was smooth and reassuring from start to finish. Lucy has a beautiful home with a lovely big garden, and her husband Luke and their two children are all so sweet and kind. Bella was walked twice a day by Luke and was clearly very well cared for throughout her stay. Lucy followed all my requests, including allowing Bella to sleep upstairs in her crate just as she does at home. I also received photo updates and messages, which really put me at ease during such a stressful time. Bella definitely made herself at home snuggling up on the sofa with Lucy in the evenings ❤️ When I collected Bella, she was happy, content and completely comfortable with Lucy — which says everything. I will definitely use Lucy again and I’m so grateful for everything she and her family did for us. Thank you so much 🥰”

About: 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.

“So very kind and accommodating. Bronwen took our dog on beautiful long walks and wasn’t phased by his boundless energy. She sent lots of lovely photos of their fun together. Bronwen made sure she kept his usual home rules and routine to avoid confusion. Would highly recommend and would definitely use again! Thank you”

“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.”

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.

“Julie was absolutely fantastic and made both me and Buster very welcome in her home. This was the first time I had ever had to leave Buster with strangers but, made me feel completely at ease and kept me updated throughout the duration of the booking. Not only did Julie take care of him but it was very clear that he had had fun there and even met a new friend.”

About: I’ve had dogs all my life and understand the love, care, and attention they need to be happy and healthy. I currently have a friendly Rough Collie called Hugo, who has given me plenty of experience with daily walks, feeding routines, grooming, playtime, and understanding canine behaviour. Friends and family regularly trust me to care for their pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, lots of play, or simply companionship and cuddles, I will ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. As I work from home, I have lots of time to dedicate to the pets in my care. I can provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day, ensuring your pet feels comfortable, safe, and well looked after while you’re away. I provide a safe, caring, and home-from-home environment for pets in my care. As I work from home, pets receive plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. I follow each owner’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication requirements, and any special instructions. In my home, dogs have access to comfortable living spaces and regular exercise, and they can enjoy social interaction with my friendly Rough Collie, Hugo, if suitable. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I ensure their routine remains consistent, keeping them comfortable and settled while providing regular updates and photos for peace of mind.

“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.”

“Amy looked after Buddy overnight whilst I was at a wedding. She was so good with him and he really enjoyed his stay. She kept me up to date throughout the stay with messages and pictures. This is the second time Amy has looked after Buddy and he’ll definitely be back for more visits soon! Thanks again Amy!”

About: Hello my name is Lucia 🙂 I have grown up around dogs and cats and I have always had them as part of my family, which has given me plenty of hands-on experience caring for them. Over the years, I have helped with feeding, walking, grooming, playtime, and providing lots of love and attention. Being around dogs and cats for most of my life has taught me how to understand their needs, personalities, and routines, and I am comfortable caring for them of different ages and temperaments. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my day at home. On weekdays, I only leave briefly in the morning to take my child to nursery from 10:00 to 11:30, and then I return home for the rest of the day. This means I can provide plenty of attention, supervision, playtime, and companionship for your pet throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We have a secure, fenced garden where dogs can enjoy fresh air and play safely. Pets will receive lots of love, attention, and care while staying with me. I also enjoy taking dogs on regular walks, so they can get exercise, explore, and have fun during their stay.

“Sean was amazing. He had blaidd my GSD for 3 nights. He updated me every day with photos amd how she's getting on. :) she was well and truly looked after well and had a great time. Definetly use Sean's services again :)”

“Being new to the area I was really struggling when I found myself needing short notice dog care. Parker and Hannah have made leaving my dogs easier for me. They are so lovely and so helpful. They allowed me into their home to confirm it was safe for my dogs. The dogs had regular walks, cuddles and the best time. I will 100% be using Parker and Hannah again if I ever need them and would highly recommend their service. Thanks guys x”
