Doggy Day Care in Merthyr Tydfil

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)

“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: 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: 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: 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’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.

“Georgia and Cadi took great care of Bruce, with plenty of playing and cuddles and regular pictures to reassure our anxiety at leaving him for the first time. Georgia and Cadi were really accommodating and seemed to really enjoy spending the day with him, which was lovely. We're very grateful for their kindness and for looking after him so well.”

About: I've always had family pets, when we were young we had a lovely collie cross, as a teen a gorgeous Labrador before finally getting my lovely black pug 10 years ago. My parents now have a golden doodle so I'm very familiar with lots of dog breeds, my pug has presented lots of issues familiar to dogs of this breed and brachycephalic in general so I'm really aware of what care they need. I've also had my own hamsters, guinea pigs, cats, a cheeky mouse , giant African land snails, and of course trusty goldfish. you name it ! I even see to the sisters tortoise when she's away - keeping him well looked after! I have two young children so on occasion they may join me - if I feel it appropriate. I'm just starting out so looking to do call in visits, letting pets out, even a clean out or top up of food etc. I'm just a the end of my final year of university so have found myself with a lot of free time in between school runs. I'm happy to help wherever possible. Able to pet sit small animals such as hamsters/ guineas in my home. Able to travel to your home let out pet, top up water, offer comfort a little play and just some human company. I'm really confident in my ability to being able to help you and your pet but if I was ever unsure of a situation you can have peace of mind in the fact that I would always reach out. You can really trust me in the fact that if you say you only want your pet given XYZ, then I can assure you that is what they will be given, we've had our own family pets been 'spoilt' by minders only to come back to a poorly/ overfed pet.

About: My lifelong love affair with dogs began in my childhood, where I was fortunate to be surrounded by these incredible creatures. Among them, Harvey, my childhood canine companion, taught me the true meaning of loyalty and friendship. He was more than just a pet; he was family. Years later, My partner and I decided to rescue Alvin, a courageous Romanian street dog with an enthusiasm that touched my heart profoundly. We welcomed him into our home with open arms, determined to give him the love and care he so rightfully deserved. However, Alvin faced a relentless adversary in the form of Renal Dysplasia. Witnessing Alvin's daily battle was both heartbreaking and inspiring. His spirit remained unbroken, and his resilience was a testament to the remarkable strength of our furry companions. Though the battle was fierce, Alvin eventually succumbed to the cruel grip of his ailment. The loss of Alvin was a devastating blow, but his memory lives on as a poignant reminder of the unbreakable bonds we share with dogs and the lengths we'll go to ensure their well-being. Today, I continue to honor Harvey, Alvin, and all the dogs I've had the privilege to know by dedicating myself to the welfare of these incredible animals, knowing that each one carries a unique story worth cherishing. This is why I dedicate any of my spare time to care for these wonderful creatures. Balancing my freelance work in the television industry with pet care has become a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. Amidst the hustle, my four-legged companions remind me to embrace simple joys like morning walks and late-night cuddles. They've taught me that life's best moments happen between work commitments, seamlessly fitting into my schedule. Whether caring for pets in my own home or tending to them in the comfort of their owner's space, my approach is centered on creating a safe, loving, and enriching environment. In my home, furry guests become part of the family, enjoying tailored routines, playtime, and cuddles. In a pet owner's home, I adapt to their pets' needs, maintaining familiar routines and surroundings to minimise stress. Whether it's ensuring a cozy nap spot or a stimulating playtime, my priority is to provide top-notch care that keeps tails wagging and purrs coming.

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.

“Michelle takes such beautiful care of our nervous rescue, with a really gentle and understanding approach, that Pepper is now a regular visitor and it’s wonderful to know that she’ll always have a great time with Michelle & Teddy! Highly recommend 😀”

“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.”

“We made a last minute booking with Amy, she responded quickly to our request and was great. Amy gave us regular updates of how they were doing throughout the day and sent pictures of them snoozing after their walk. We will definitely be booking her again!”

“Siencyn had a great day with Rupert and Cali. Even had a paddle in the river, which is his favourite activity. Rupert is very knowledgable and treated Siencyn as if he was part of the family. Siencyn is looking forward to staying with Rupert and Cali next week already! Thank you!!!”

“Rose looked after our cocker spaniels Duggee & Tess for the day while we were in Cardiff, she looked after them like they were her own & they had a fantastic day. Rose did a meet & greet the day before which was really helpful to give her an idea of their characters & for us to meet her too & on the day of the sitting she picked them up & dropped them off to us & provided plenty of photos during the day. We will definitely use Rose again and highly recommended her as a dog sitter. Thank you very much.”
