“We had such a great experience with Nia as our dog minder! She kindly arranged a meet beforehand so the dogs could get to know her and her home, which instantly put me at ease. During their stay, she kept in touch regularly with plenty of updates on walks and mornings, which was so reassuring and let me know they were happy and well cared for. The communication was excellent, and it was clear how much care and attention both she and her partner gave. I honestly can’t thank them enough. Nia will definitely be my first point of contact whenever I need a dog minder again. Thank you.”
“She was amazing, helped me out with a last minute booking, when I had been let down by someone else. Bear my dog had a lovely time. She sent me lots of updates and pictures/ videos. I would 100% use her again.”
“Our dog had a lovely stay with Mollie. She was great with sending through pictures and updates which helped me relax, knowing that he was being well looked after and having a lovely time. Will definitely be looking to see if Mollie is available the next time we need a boarder and would 100% recommend”
“Jacob looked after our 15 week old Belgian Malinois for 4 days, communication was excellent he updated us with videos photos and messages so we felt completely at ease, Jacob followed our instructions on exercise and feeding very well and Bella was very happy and healthy on her return to us, We would highly recommend Jacob to anyone”
“We left our dog Leia with Sophie for the weekend, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. This was the first time we’ve left Leia with anyone other than family and she made us feel at ease. We received regular updates and videos, which really made a difference and reassured us while we were away. Leia came home happy and clearly very well looked after. We wouldn’t hesitate to use them again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog boarder. Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of Leia!😊”
“Would million % recommend Beth and partner to anyone. Our sandy stayed there from Friday to Monday. She went for long walks across the beach everyday and Beth sent pictures and videos of them. Amazing. Sandy was so comfortable with them and she is a shy dog. Will be using Beth again asap and sandy can’t wait haha”
About: I’ve always loved animals and grew up with a dog, so caring for pets has been a natural part of my life. I’ve regularly helped friends with pet sitting and dog walking, including feeding, playtime, walks, and making sure their pets feel comfortable and cared for while they’re away. I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy looking after your pet, and I treat every animal with the same patience, attention, and affection I’d want for my own. I recently moved to the UK and currently have a flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve! I’m available for regular dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, including during weekdays and weekends. Since my schedule is flexible, I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and can accommodate different walking times, feeding schedules, and individual needs. I have no other pets and a spacious apartment so your pet will feel right at home. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs before their first visit. Whether we’re out for a walk or spending time at home, I’ll provide attentive, responsible care and treat your pet like they’re part of my own family. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone new, so I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos and make sure you feel comfortable while you’re away.
“Wonderful! Our Lucy was well looked after and I had complete peace of mind. Lovely to see photo updates , I think she had fun with your beautiful dogs. Thanks for giving Lucy a great time, so much better than any kennel experience, we'd definitely love for Lucy to come again.”
“We are so happy to have found Kingsley. Bruce our dog felt so at home straight away. Kingsley has such an amazing calming energy that is perfect for looking after animals. We had loads of updates and pictures. It has been overall an excellent service!”
“I’ve never left Dude with a sitter before, so I was very nervous about leaving him with a stranger but Maryanne immediately put us at ease. She was very flexible as it was a last-minute booking and Dude warmed to her immediately when we arrived. He had a right old adventure at the beach and came back very tired and happy.”
“Sophie was amazing with our 10 month old cockapoo Teddy. It was our first time leaving him and she was so reassuring over the two days, sending lots of pictures and messages. He came home a very happy puppy. I can’t recommend her enough. I’ll definitely book with Sophie again 😊”
About: I grew up with dogs and we’ve had dogs all our married life. Our dog Teddy is a 7 year old Cavochon. He is a gentle loving boy. In the past I have dog sat for family and colleagues from work. I would love to have more dogs around as they really do make me happy. They always seem to take to me too !! Our children are in their 20’s and work shifts so around during some days. Myself and my husband Craig are off on weekends. We spend lots of time out in the garden. We have a fenced garden. 5 steps in the garden but flat otherwise (2 levels) We live close to Margam park, Porthcawl, Mumbles and Aberavon beach for lots of walks. We walk our Cavachon Teddy twice a day.
“Our pup seemed to really enjoy his stay with Katy! She was very reliable, attentive to his needs, and made sure he was comfortable around her and her dog first before having him. Would definitely choose Katy again!”
About: I’ve always had a natural love for dogs and understand that every dog has their own personality, needs and routine. As an experienced dog owner, I’m patient, attentive and confident caring for dogs of different ages and temperaments. I’ll treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy and thoroughly looked after. I’ve done this for friends and family for the last 5 years and had great feedback from it Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, as I already plan my days around caring for my own dogs. I’m available throughout the week and can dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, feeding and companionship. I’m organised and reliable, so I can follow each dog’s usual routine closely and give them the individual care and attention they need. Whether caring for pets in my home or their owner’s home, I’ll always follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, medication and any house rules. I’ll provide plenty of attention, play and companionship while respecting each pet’s personality and giving them space when needed. Their safety and comfort will always come first, and I’ll keep owners reassured with regular updates and photos.
About: I run a full-time doggie daycare, pet sitting, and dog walking business based in Garden village / Gorseinon, serving clients across Swansea, including Mumbles, Sketty, and Clydach. With 6 years of experience working with all breeds, I’m passionate about providing tailored, loving care to meet the needs of every dog and their owner. Dog Walking Services For group walks, I offer 1-hour or 2-hour sessions, which I typically schedule for midday (around 12/1 PM). These walks are a fantastic way for dogs to socialise while exploring beautiful locations. For solo walks, I aim to accommodate your schedule, but these usually take place in the mornings (10/11 AM) or later in the afternoon (3/4/5 PM). Solo walks are priced slightly higher at £20 per hour due to the exclusive time booked for your dog. Day Boarding/Day Care My day boarding services run Monday to Sunday, where I pick up dogs between 8/9 AM and drop them back off around 4/5 PM. This service offers a full 8-hour day packed with fun, socialisation, and exercise. I take a group of 6–8 dogs on bespoke walks to beaches, woodlands, and mountains, allowing them to explore different environments. At home, they can socialise further, play with toys, and relax in my secure house and garden. Many of my dogs are regulars who are friendly, playful, and enjoy their time together. Overnight Boarding / Pet sitting Overnight boarding is also available for those needing care beyond the day. Dogs stay in my home and are treated like family, with plenty of love, attention, and comfort during their stay. Transportation I offer pick-up and drop-off services for all my clients, making it easy and convenient for you. Think of it as a “doggy school bus,” ensuring your pet gets to their destination safely and happily! For households with multiple dogs or block bookings, I also offer discounts to make my services more affordable. Having recently moved to Garden Village / Gorseinon from Gowerton, I’ve retained my wonderful client base across Swansea and look forward to continuing to care for the amazing dogs I work with. My goal is always to ensure your pet is safe, happy, and has the best experience possible! I work full time as a dog walker, doggie day care and overnight boarder. My business is called Ellie Mae’s Dog Walking. I dedicate my life to ensuring your dogs have the best lives! I have a fully fenced, large back garden, providing the pups with lots of room to play. We have lots of toys and games to keep the pups occupied. We also have loads of local walks, as well as forest walks and beaches around by us! I also am fully insured, enhanced DBS checked and licensed.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Swansea is £33

Sophie is so lovely, friendly and flexible and she even messaged me whilst on her holiday. We felt really comfortable with her when we first met and had no worries about leaving our gentle, sensitive Beagle with her. She gave us lots of updates, photos and videos which made us feel even more reassured that we did the right thing by leaving Cookie with her. We would definitely recommend Sophie to anyone and will absolutely be booking her again
I feel incredibly lucky to have found Nia. She is an absolute gem, and I trust her completely with Gertie, who always comes home happy, relaxed, and content. Nia makes sure she always feels safe, loved, and completely at ease. There is no greater reassurance than knowing my precious girl is in such caring and capable hands. Nia is reliable, trustworthy, warm, calm, and genuinely passionate about what she does. She goes above and beyond every single time, and I couldn't recommend her more highly. If you're looking for someone who will care for your dog as though they were part of her own family, look no further. Five stars simply aren't enough!
I’ve never left Dude with a sitter before, so I was very nervous about leaving him with a stranger but Maryanne immediately put us at ease. She was very flexible as it was a last-minute booking and Dude warmed to her immediately when we arrived. He had a right old adventure at the beach and came back very tired and happy.
This was my first time using Rover, so I was a little nervous about leaving my dog Winnie, but Juliette was absolutely amazing. She was so kind, caring, and reassuring from the start, which really put my mind at ease. She kept me updated throughout her time with Winnie and sent regular pupdates, which I really appreciated. It was clear Winnie was happy and well looked after. I would highly recommend Juliette in a heartbeat and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Thank you so much, Juliette! 🐾
Rosie was fantastic with our energetic 1 year old Border Collie while we were away at a wedding. She sent lots of updates and photos, which really put me and my partner at ease knowing he was happy and well looked after. It was clear he had plenty of fun and attention. We’d happily leave him with Rosie again and would definitely recommend her.
I cannot recommend Amy highly enough. We met her and her fiance with Bailey prior to her looking after him. He took to her immediately and I could tell how much she loved him as well. While we were away Amy messaged me daily and sent me a photo. We have never left Bailey with anyone before except family and I knew he was being well looked after. We will not hesitate to use Amy again. Thank you so much.
Just picked Mac up after his stay with Kieren. Mac was fabulously relaxed and we found a very happy boy. Mac is a big GSD who Kieren understood and kept chilled. Kieren messaged us with updates. Would wholeheartedly recommend him to look after your pooch. 🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾
Jacob looked after our 15 week old Belgian Malinois for 4 days, communication was excellent he updated us with videos photos and messages so we felt completely at ease, Jacob followed our instructions on exercise and feeding very well and Bella was very happy and healthy on her return to us, We would highly recommend Jacob to anyone
Wonderful! Our Lucy was well looked after and I had complete peace of mind. Lovely to see photo updates , I think she had fun with your beautiful dogs. Thanks for giving Lucy a great time, so much better than any kennel experience, we'd definitely love for Lucy to come again.
Cae is amazing with animals, Beau (my dog) was really happy staying with Car overnight, I definitely felt though Beau was in excellent hands , I received regular photos and updates, which was so lovely and reassuring! I would certainly recommend him and use Cae again!!
Always a 5⭐️ whenever max stays here! Brilliant communication, max has stayed with Kingsley a good few times now, an when we pull up he knows where he is and gets super excited to see Kingsley! There’s no one else I trust more than to have our special boy! We feel fully relaxed when he’s in his care! Thank you again Kingsley!

FAQs for Dog Boarding – Swansea
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Swansea on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of September 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 .

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 .
