Doggy Day Care Merthyr Tydfil

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. 🐾 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.

“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🥰💖”

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.

“I contacted Sean at fairly short notice to arrange day care for our Vizsla. Checks complete and Luther has spent his first day at Sean's home today. I received updates and pictures throughout the day and I got back to a happy, waggy tailed dog. Luther had obviously had a great day with plenty of interaction. Excellent communication from the outset. Highly recommended and will definitely be booking with him again. Thank you Sean ? ? ????”

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)

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.

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)👩🏻‍✈️

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: 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.

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.

“Calum looked after our puppy shiba inu for the afternoon. We would not hesitate to recommend him - he was a great dog sitter. Our dog was well looked after and Calum communicated reliably before and during the session.Thanks Calum!”

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.
