Doggy Day Care in Neath Port Talbot

About: I lost my beloved dog Bailey a year ago, he was nearly 18 and had been a lovely addition to our family. I used this service in the past and thought I might be useful to another family as I do miss our walks and looking after him, he had a heart murmur so had been on long term medication for over 9 years. I am a qualified hairdresser so can assist with grooming and nail cutting if needed. I have a lot of free time at the moment as I am Student I will be returning to studies in September. Can do most days or night and weekends. Short notice and fostercare. I am at home most of the days and always home during night time period. I have a fenced back garden and three doors leading to the front door so pets would be very well secured, I would use stair gates for puppies and kittens. Crate and u trained pups welcomed.

“Nia looked after our dog Lola for the day and Lola settled straight in. Nia kept me updated with photos and messages, it looks like they had a lovely day. We’ve booked again and would definitely recommend Nia.”

About: Hi, I'm Sam! I'm a 26-year-old long-time animal lover and experienced house & pet sitter based in Port Talbot. In 2022, I embarked on an 8-month trip around Australia with my partner George, most of which we spent house & pet sitting for local people in the destinations we visited - it helped us to get experience under our belt, save money on hotels and get some cuddles in the absence of our own pets. It was an amazing experience and we've since continued keeping people's pets company when they need it now that we're back home. I have more than 20 5* reviews from my experience so far. Some testimonials are below and some feedback is also shown on my profile, but I can send through all of the references I've been given to any interested pet owners - just drop me a message. I've grown up with pets and currently have a border collie called Meg and a grey cat called Daisy, both six-years-old. I'm experienced in administering different types of medication and working with shy, energetic, anxious and complex animals, so I have become highly confident in what I do. I'm a non-smoker, clean & tidy guest, and a fully remote worker so can ensure your pets have all the company they require. NOTE: George often joins me on overnight sits when agreed with the home owner. He loves to help out and has had plenty of experience, as demonstrated in our reviews. However this is completely up to the pet owner and what’s best for your home and pets! My services 🐾Overnight house & pet sitting (at pet's home) - including plant watering, mail collection and household maintenance. Both long and short term sits available. 🐾Dog walking - for as long as the dog requires and at location local to the dog's home (at the dog's favourite walk locations if desired) 🐾Day visits (full day care or quick feeding visits) - including plant watering and mail collection 🐾Day care (AT PET'S HOME ONLY) - sorry, I currently can’t have pets at my home as I’m undergoing renovations. However, I’m very happy to do day care at the pet’s home where agreed with the pet owner. Note that the day care option states it’s at my home regardless due to app settings. What clients said about us: 💬"Samantha & George looked after our dogs and house for 17 days. We couldn't be happier with the love and care they gave our extremely spoilt dogs. They sent us regular photos and updates and it was obvious the dogs loved them too. The house was cared for equally well. They are such a lovely, responsible couple who I couldn't recommend more highly." - Leonie & Phil, Busselton (Australia) 💬"Samantha & George were the most wonderful house sitters - we could not have asked for more from them. Their communication was excellent in the lead up and throughout the stay, sending photos and updates. They left the house in a very clean and tidy condition and our cats were very happy and healthy. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking!" - Emma, Cooroy (Australia) 💬"OUTSTANDING... we couldn't be happier with Sam & George. They are lovely people. Our two pups were so well looked after. We returned to a beautifully clean house. What more could you possibly want? Thank you for being caring of our girls and respectful of our home. Highly recommend." - Maxwell, Tugun (Australia) 💬"Samantha and her partner George are an amazing couple, communicating with them was very easy and they are very comfortable people to have in your home. My two dogs clearly loved them and on my return they were very happy and obviously well looked after. My house was as I had left it, probably cleaner, they had washed all their linen and remade their bed. They are 5 star pet sitters and I highly recommend them." - Denise, Byron Bay (Australia) 💬"A truly delightful couple, Samantha & George are pet owners dream housesitters. They are honest, kind, clean & caring with a real love for animals, especially the ones they’re caring for. They kept me updated and took care of all my pets needs. The house was left spotless in my return too…If you are looking for pet/house sitters these guys should be on the top of your list. I only hope next time I need pet/house sitters that they are available. Thank you for taking such great care of my furbabies and my home.. you guys are AWESOME ⭐️🙏🏼♥️" - Maria, Sydney (Australia) 💬"Thanks so much Sam and George for looking after our place and most importantly, Mr Bluey! He was so happy and chilled when we got back it was a great relief- not that we were surprised at all :) Sam and George sent really cute updates about Bluey which really put our minds at ease knowing he was happy and looked after. Can’t recommend these wonderful sitters more and would happily have them again!" - Anita, Melbourne (Australia) 💬"The whole process with Sam and George can be summarised in one word, "easy". They were a dream to have come sit our 2 cats and 2 chickens. They were great communicators, left the house cleaner than they found it, and even took the liberty of washing their bedding (which we didn't ask them too, and was a very nice gesture!). They were great with communication the whole way through, sent us update photos during their stay and let us know when they had locked up and left. Coming home to a clean house and 2 VERY happy cats was a fantastic finish to our holiday. On a logistics note, they were happy to adhere to our feeding schedule for the cats, and kept the chickens water and feed full. It was clear to see the cats had been given ample play time and were not devoid of affection one bit. Also, they emptied/refreshed the litter box, and set out the cat food before they left so we wouldn't have to, which was awesome. Thank you Sam and George, would 10/10 have sit again!" - Jaden, Adelaide (Australia) More references available - message me for more info! I'm a remote and flexible worker so I fit my pet care responsibilities around my day job and work from wherever I am. This means I can be around to keep your pets company throughout the day, maintain regular routines, and take your dogs for the walks they need when they need them. I'm available every day of the week. I conduct meet and greets before the first service to learn about the pet(s), their behaviours, needs and any relevant features of the home itself. This is a chance to learn about their routines, what they eat, and anything else I need to be aware of. I never walk dogs off-lead and I am able to constantly supervise pets when needed.

“I was so lucky to find Susana. My train got changed to a bus replacement - no dogs allowed - so my dog stayed with her for the afternoon. Susana went above and beyond to help me, and took wonderful care of my dog, sending me many pictures, messages and a video. Her address was easy to find too, and convenient to the motorway and a supermarket to grab a late lunch. I would highly recommend Susana, her husband and their beautiful Frenchie, Jasmine. Thank you Susana 🤗”

About: Dogs have always been in my life. My best friend Jake devastatingly passed away last year who with me and my dad had raised since a pup as a rescue Stafie. This bereavement has made me treasure dogs and all animals alike much more, they rely on us and give their unconditional love and I want to give back and make their lives filled with fun and enjoyment. I have experience with all sorts of dogs, from different breeds such as Staffies and Labrador, from young energetic balls of energy to the seniors who love and deserve to be pampered in their old age. I'm currently a final year animation student on my summer holidays and looking to look after our furry friends. My schedule is very flexible until September after this I will update my schedule to reflect this as soon as I know my class dates. For now however I am free every week day. I have a large front garden, and a back garden (not fenced), however lots of large fields, woodland and trails in my local area. I would care for your dog as my own and treat them as the best, they would be well fed and played with lots. I would be honoured to build a relationship with them, a relationship built on trust and loyalty, values that I have been brought up with and built upon with my own dog who is sadly no longer with us.

“Kingsley looked after our dog so well. He sent us photos regularly and kept us informed of their activities. He’s so calm and calming. Our dog was happy throughout.”

About: I've taken care of friends and families dogs for about 10-12 years. Happy to walk, feed and keep your pets company I have trained my mothers dog tricks too I currently work part time at a pub so can be quite flexible for your pets needs. At the moment I'm mainly working evenings but am free in the mornings and afternoons I like to give the dog lots of attention especially if in a new environment. In my own home I have a fenced garden with space for them to chill, for day care only.

“I feel so lucky to have found such a lovely day care setting for Deedee. Dana is professional, caring and kind. Also very patient (as Deedee is a busy and inquisitive pup). Highly recommended.”

“We had a wonderful experience with Sandra Maria! She was incredibly flexible with both drop-off and pick-up times, which made things so much easier for us. It was clear from the start that she's a true animal lover—she took such genuine care of my senior dog, making sure he was comfortable and well looked after. She also administered his medications exactly as requested. We couldn’t have asked for better care and Adis can't wait to meet her again!”

About: I’ve had my dog Laszlo for two and a half years and raised him from a puppy, so I’m very familiar with daily routines, training, walks, and plenty of play and affection. I’ve also looked after dogs for friends while they’ve been on holiday, providing day care, walks, feeding, and lots of love while they’re away. I’ve cared for an older dog too, who lived to 13, so I’m comfortable supporting senior dogs and adjusting to their needs at a slower pace. I’m calm, attentive, and treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and happy. I work from home with a very flexible schedule, so I’m around all day to keep an eye on the dogs, give them attention, playtime, and regular breaks. I already have a 2-year-old Labrador, Laszlo, so our days are naturally built around walks, play, and keeping dogs happy and stimulated. My partner also works from home so there will be two of us to keep your dog company. We usually go out for a walk in the morning and again after work, with plenty of play, treats, and downtime in between. I work from 8–4 but I’m always at home during those hours, so your dog will never be left alone and will be fully supervised throughout the day. Laszlo is incredibly friendly and playful and is great at helping other dogs feel comfortable and at ease. I’m happy to adapt to your dog’s routine and energy level to make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and right at home. We provide a safe, relaxed, and loving home environment where dogs are treated like part of the family. Our home has a large, secure garden, giving dogs plenty of space to run, play, and burn off energy throughout the day. Inside, there are lots of toys, cosy spots to rest, and constant supervision to make sure everyone is comfortable and settled. We also have a friendly, playful dog who loves having company and helps visiting dogs feel at ease quickly. For dogs who are crate-trained or need their own quiet space, we have a crate available and always respect individual routines and preferences. Trust and safety are really important to us. We’re attentive, calm, and happy to follow any instructions you provide, from feeding routines to walk preferences, so your dog feels secure, happy, and at home while you’re away.

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and can't imagine a home without them. I have owned and cared for a range of breeds, including Maltipoos, Springer Spaniels, and Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, so I am comfortable with both smaller, larger, and more energetic dogs. I am currently a Zoology student at Swansea University which has given me a deeper understanding of animal behaviour and welfare. I’m very attentive to body language and always adapt my care to suit the dog’s personality and routine. I’ve helped raise several litters of puppies, from early feeding and socialisation through to basic training, so I am confident caring for puppies, adults and senior dogs. I love to be outdoors. I regularly go hiking and for long walks along the beach, so dogs in my care will get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation (while, of course, respecting each owner’s preferences and the dogs’s ability). Training and structure are important to me- one of my dogs went on to work with the police, which reflects my experience with consistency, routine, and positive guidance. I will treat each pet as if they were my own and aim to create calm, safe, and loving environment. I provide regular updates and photos so owners will feel completely at ease. As a university student, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of free time to dedicate to pet care. I’m around for most of the year and home for much of the day, so dogs are rarely left alone. Pet care fits easily into my routine, as I already enjoy long walks, hiking, and beach walks, and I’m able to plan my studies around each dog’s needs and usual routine. My fenced garden provides a secure space for your dog to enjoy the outdoors, while the house is filled with toys, treats, and cozy spots for them to relax. I live I will ensure they feel comfortable and well-cared for during their stay.

“What a wonderful, kind and friendly person Katie is. Excellent communication from my initial enquiry, to meet up arrangements, reassuring me with photos and messages whilst caring for him, to pick up. I was a bit apprehensive as I have never used this app or left him with a stranger before, but Zuko and I felt immediately at ease with Katie and he went off with her , without even looking back to me!! In the 4 hours she cared for him, she took him on 2 walks, fed him, let him snooze and also engaged in an enrichment activity/ toy that I had sent with him. So I'm confident he had a fabulous time! Highly recommend Katie.”

About: I have had several pets in my house since I was a child and growing up with them made me realise the importance in having them in our lives. I enjoy taking them on walks and playing with them, feeding them, bathing and grooming them, and giving them the right attention with love and care. I am available all day and If you need my service, please do not hesitate to contact me. I will take care of your pet and keep them happy. I will ask and follow all the instructions given by the pet owner and make sure to fit into their normal routines and giving them attention with care and love.

“Maria was great with our Winston and made him feel right at home for the entire stay. So much so, that he was a little reluctant to leave! Maria helpfully arranged an introduction with Winston ahead of the stay and sent photos and updates throughout the stay. We'd happily use Maria again. Winston was really lucky to stay with her.”

“The best home from home ever! I cannot recommend Laura & her family highly enough. I honestly feel like I struck gold finding them. I can’t thank them enough for sharing their home & looking after Max. Not only did he feel totally at home, I did too. We were both made to feel so welcome. Max quickly got comfortable & was excited each day to go back. You could see the love, care & attention he was given, & that he had been made to feel part of the family. He had lovely walks & Laura kept me fully updated. If I could leave Max with them regularly I would. I will definitely be booking again.”
