Danielle has been so great with Lebby, she made sure she felt safe and comfortable to approach at her own pace. Danielle and her family were very patient with Lebby, and kept her schedule as is which helped her feel much more confident and less stressed which meant she went back to her routine much faster. The updates and videos were great to put my mind at ease while I am on holiday. Thank you for taking such good care of my cat!

Costa came back to us a very happy pup and was well cared for and loved in our absence. When we picked him up it was clear to see he was fond of Clare and her daughter after a week with them. Thank you Clare for caring for Costa for us while we were away.

Fantastic first experience!This was my first time using a pet sitter, and Elizabeth made the entire process seamless and stress-free. She was absolutely fantastic and kept me constantly updated with reassurance and photos. My dog, Forrest, settled in with her immediately and was incredibly comfortable. I highly recommend Elizabeth and will absolutely book her again!

Amy took fantastic care of Rocky. She sent us regular pictures and up dates of our boy. The photos she was sending showed how happy and relaxed he was with her. I would thoroughly recommend her.

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

AMAZING dog sitter!! - we left our dog Teddy with Mary a few weeks ago, and I must say I was quite nervous, he’s very hyper and boisterous and I was worried he wouldn’t settle, however Mary kept me updated every single day sending photos, telling me about his mealtimes and even updated me every thirty minutes to an hour after he had gotten sick, she explained how good he had been and genuinely put my mind at ease, couldn’t reccomend her more. Thank you so much Mary will definitely be booking again!!

About: Nijo & Jenny Animals have always been a big part of my life. I grew up in a home with multiple dogs and cats and have cared for pets for many years. Over time, I have looked after and cared for dogs ranging from small breeds to large breeds, each with their own unique personalities, needs and routines. As a Merchant Navy Officer, I have 2 mo tha rotation, where I am onboard for 2-3 and at home on leave for 2-3 months. During my leave periods, I am home full-time for up to two months at a stretch, allowing me to provide plenty of companionship, exercise and supervision. My wife and I are both passionate animal lovers and regularly help friends with their dogs. Due to my work pattern we are unable to get a dog ourselves currently but we try to compensate that by lending a hand to our friends with pets. We understand that every pet is different, and we strive to provide a safe, loving and stress-free home away from home where pets are treated as part of the family. We ourselves use rover when we go for vacations and understand the situation, we strive to create a second home for your furry friends and would be part of our family. When I am on leave from work, I am available at home full-time and can dedicate my attention to your pet throughout the day. This allows me to maintain their usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, rest periods and plenty of companionship. I enjoy spending time outdoors and regularly visit local walking areas such as Brynna Woods and Smilog Woods. Depending on your dog's preferences and energy levels, I can also provide longer walks, park visits and beach outings. I only accept one household's dog at a time, ensuring your pet receives individual attention and a calm environment. Your pet's safety and wellbeing are my highest priorities. My wife and I live in a spacious home with a secure fenced back garden, providing a safe environment for dogs to relax, play and explore. We also share our home with our friendly domestic shorthair cat, Simba, who is comfortable around dogs that respect her space. Before every booking, I take time to understand your pet's routine, preferences, dietary requirements and any special instructions. My wife is a medical doctor and is happy to assist with routine medications if required, providing additional reassurance for owners whose pets may need ongoing treatment during their stay. I only accept one household's dog at a time, ensuring your pet receives individual attention, plenty of supervision and a calm environment. I will also provide regular photo and video updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, comfortable and well cared for.

About: I have lots of hands-on experience caring for dogs and genuinely love making sure they feel happy, safe, and well looked after. I currently have a 12-week-old puppy at home, so I’m very comfortable with puppy care, routines, and positive reinforcement. I’ve regularly cared for a Border Collie, Golden Retriever, and Yorkie, giving me experience with both high-energy and smaller breeds. I also volunteer as a dog walker at Cardiff Dogs Home, where I’ve built confidence handling dogs with different temperaments and ensuring they get the exercise, attention, and care they need. I’m available for overnight stays from Friday night through to Monday evening, as well as Wednesday nights, with flexible Thursday pick-ups if full-day care is needed. Because I work from home on Mondays and Thursdays (and my partner works from home on Wednesdays), dogs are rarely left alone and get plenty of company throughout the day. I can also offer daytime care on these days, with lots of walks, training, playtime, and cuddles built into my breaks. All tailored to how your dog is feeling and what they enjoy most. Dogs in my care are treated as part of the household and are always supervised in a calm, safe environment. I have a fully fenced garden for secure outdoor time, and dogs are never left unattended outside. Inside the home, dogs stay with me in the living room or home office so they’re always close by and included. I provide comfortable dog beds for smaller dogs, and larger dogs are equally welcome and settle on their own cosy blankets. I follow each owner’s routines and preferences carefully to ensure every dog feels relaxed, safe, and at home

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: I’ve always had a love for dogs and animals. Growing up, my family always had dogs, and today I have a wonderful 3-year-old Cavapoo who keeps me on my toes and reminds me every day just how important exercise and companionship are for our furry friends. I love spending time outdoors, whether that’s exploring local walking routes, enjoying the fresh air or discovering new places to walk. Combining that passion with my love of dogs inspired me to start Castle Paws. I understand how much our pets mean to us. They’re not just animals – they’re family. My goal is to provide a reliable, caring and trustworthy service that gives owners peace of mind while ensuring their dogs are happy, safe and well cared for. Services include: 🐶 Dog Walks 🐾 Puppy & Dog Visits 🏡 Doggy Day Care 🏝️Holiday Dog Sitting 💍 Wedding Dog Chaperone Service If you’d like to learn more or have any questions, please feel free to send me a message. I am currently running my dog services business full time, so pet care is my main focus. This allows me to offer a flexible schedule and dedicate quality time to the dogs in my care. I love being outdoors and spending my days walking, exploring and providing dogs with the exercise, attention and companionship they need. I have a fully enclosed, secure garden where dogs can safely enjoy some outdoor time, play and relax. I also have my own friendly 3-year-old Cavapoo who enjoys having company and meeting new friends. Before any bookings, we will arrange a meet and greet to ensure your dog is comfortable with me, my dog and their new environment. I understand every dog has their own personality, so I will always tailor their care to suit their individual needs, whether they enjoy playing, exploring, relaxing or having their own quiet space.

About: If your dog doesn't do well on it's own all day whilst you're at work/busy, I can help! I am a licensed animal boarding establishment and I work from home every day of the week and would love to look after your dog. I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Two years ago I welcomed my own pup, a cockapoo called Dewi, into my life, and he’s my absolute world. Because I know firsthand how important our dogs are to us, I treat every pup I care for as if they were my own—safe, loved, and happy at all times. I work from home every day so more than happy to have your dog hang out at mine. Dewi is friendly and gets on with all dogs but he's not neutered so I wouldn't be able to take on female dogs on heat. If your dog doesn't get on with other dogs, no worries, if you're not too far I can fit in a visit to yours to give your dog some company during the day. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my first priority. In my home, dogs are welcomed into a calm and loving environment where they can feel secure and relaxed. I live in a safe, pet-friendly space and always supervise play, walks, and interactions with my own dog, Dewi, to make sure everyone is comfortable and happy. Because I work from home, I’m able to keep a close eye on your pup throughout the day and give them plenty of attention, breaks, and cuddles. On walks, I’m very mindful of keeping dogs secure on-leash, avoiding hazards, and tailoring the pace to each dog’s needs. If your dog has good recall I am more than happy to let them off lead. There's plenty of fields near mine to let them roam free. In your home, I’ll respect your space and your pet’s routine, keeping things consistent so your dog feels safe and cared for even while you’re away. I believe that trust is built through reliability, communication, and genuine care and I’ll treat your dog like family every single time.

This is the first time we’ve left our girlies with Becca and we were left totally at ease from first meet and greet to leaving and picking them up. She made our girls feel at home and kept us up to date with photos and videos, they both had a fantastic stay and it’s clear she absolutley loves dogs, they both knew they’d get their cuddles and fusses, she kept them busy with games and walks and her little boy Russell really got on with our girls. We would highly reccomend Becca and will definitely be using her again.

About: I have a 5 year old labrador and I'm very used to walking him for 1 hour daily. I grew up with dogs and lived near a farm as a young child. I also had 2 pet persian house cats as well as budgie's and hamsters. I work full-time but this is agile, balancing office based with working from home. I am usually free during the evenings and on fridays as well as the weekends. But this can be flexible if i offer a boarding service as i can agile work. I have a fenced garden so everything is safe and enclosed, i also live on a quiet estate where the road is not busy. I like to spend time with the animals when they are in my company, as long as a blanket is on the sofa and bed they are welcome to lay on this.

About: Me and my wife are both pet lovers, we have a 3 bedroom house with a fenced garden and fairly high walls so dogs can’t escape. We have a park nearby and I also drive if longer walks are needed. I used to work at a vets, so I’m very experienced with animals and have looked after many cats and dogs in the past. I will take good care of your pet and will adapt to their needs, making sure they’re comfortable and happy! I’m available every weekend at any time. I work full time mon-fri but can be free after 5pm. I work from home 3 days of the week so can try to be flexible for you and I also drive, so I’m able to take your dogs for long walks. I will make sure your pet is fed and their bowls and litter trays are cleaned. I would give them plenty of walks and I am happy to bathe them if required.

Georgia looked after my dog Buzz over a weekend. She was great and helped me out last minute. Buzz was very well cared for, you could tell he’d even been brushed when he came home as he was so fluffy. They dropped him off and he was crying at the window because he missed them. Forever grateful for helping me in a tough spot and for the incredible care they gave him xx

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Rhondda Cynon Taf

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Rhondda Cynon Taf on Rover is £33.35 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 553 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Rhondda Cynon Taf. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Finding the right boarding environment is all about peace of mind. Boarding with a sitter on Rover helps you find a cosy experience in a real home for your dog.

When searching for a host, look for a sitter who:

  • Offers a secure, home-like environment that is clean and welcoming
  • Adheres to your dog’s established routine for meals, activity, and rest
  • Possesses relevant experience with your pet’s specific breed, size, and personality
  • Maintains clear communication regarding the frequency of photo and message updates

Don’t skip the Meet & Greet! The free Meet & Greet is the best way to see where your dog will sleep and who they might play with.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poo breaks occured. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog's vaccines is the best way to be 'boarding ready'. Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Sitters in Wales may request that your dog be up-to-date on core vaccines, such as Canine Distemper, Canine Parvovirus, Canine Adenovirus (also known as DHP or DHPPi), Leptospirosis and Kennel Cough. Cats may be required to have Feline Panleucopenia Virus, Feline Herpesvirus, Feline Calicivirus, and Feline Leukaemia Virus up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Every sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page .

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

We require sitters to operate in compliance with applicable local licensing requirements. In England, pet sitters who board dogs or provide doggy day care as a business may need a valid licence under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018. When vetting your sitter, ask if they meet local licensing requirements for dog boarding. This confirmation is important for coverage under the Rover Guarantee. Read more about our requirement for following local licensing requirements .
