Doggy Day Care Swansea

About: I’ve looked after several dogs and cats in the last few years of varying ages and sizes, both at my home and the owner’s. Most recently, I sat for a very cute Lurcher puppy at his home three days a week, for four months last summer, helping to toilet and crate train him, and playing with him throughout the day while ensuring he got enough rest. I have looked after him on the odd occasion since and he is always very excited to see me. I have also looked after an 11 year old Dalmatian on three different occasions for 3-6 weeks at a time and we have formed a close bond. He feels comfortable in my home and needs quite a lot exercise so we enjoy lots of long walks together. When I first looked after him he could be quite reactive and would pull on the lead a lot, but we have done quite a bit of work together and he is much calmer now. I’ve also had the pleasure of caring for the sweetest 11 year old Miniature Schnauzer on several occasions for a few days at a time, making lots of time for snuggles but also taking her down to the beach where she loves to explore. I’ve also housesat for friends and family, looking after their cats while they were on holiday. My friend’s cats were quite nervous so I was happy to take their lead on how close I got. While they were wary to begin with, they would happily sit with me and let me stroke them by the end of the week. My friends have asked me to catsit again this September. All in all, the fact that owners have trusted me to look after their pets for long periods of time and on more than one occasion shows that I am reliable and will care for your pet like they are my own, with the utmost love, care and attention. The owners have also appreciated the regular updates and pictures I send and I will always make sure to do the same for you. I work from home four days a week and can be flexible on location so am happy to come to yours or look after your pet at my house. I’m available during the week and at weekends for quick drop ins, a full day or for boarding, from one night to several weeks at a time if required. I have a large, enclosed garden for your pet to have a good run around if needed. There are also lots of good walks nearby, including a park and the beach is nearby. I live alone and don’t have any pets or children, so can provide a calm, secure space. My work is quite flexible so I can make time to play with your pet and show them the love and attention they need. Also happy to crate if required.

About: Hi I’m Jacob - I’m a masters student and athlete, who is very passionate and experienced with dogs. I enjoy being outside and keeping active, and would be thrilled to take your dog for walks, and give them the attention they deserve! Small/medium sized dogs, and puppies are my expertise but welcome all ages and sizes. I understand how special your furry friend is to you, and I will treat your pet as my own and give it all the love, care and attention they need! The 2 puppers featured in my profile are currently living up in Scotland with my parents, so won’t be with me when I’m caring for your fur babies. The other 2 puppies held up by the young lady (my mom) are the 2 dogs I grew up with and loved so very much! You’ll receive plenty of pupdates from myself during our time together and I look forward to get to know you and your lovely pets! I am in the final stages of finishing my masters, I work from home and alongside my athletic career, I have plenty of time to devote to your pups in the great outdoors - come rain or shine!!!

“An excellent dogsitter! Nia was welcoming, knowledgeable and friendly. She introduced Deedee to the other dog there carefully and made sure they felt secure before encouraging them to play (or if they preferred, just lie together). Deedee loves other dogs and had lots of fun running around Nia's lovely garden. Nia also kept me updated on how Deedee was doing throughout the day. I felt relaxed and happy knowing Deedee was being so well-cared for. I'd definitely recommend Nia to anyone looking for great dog care.”

“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.”

Dillon my 2 year old whippet is extremely friendly and has been around numerous dogs all his life.

“First time for my dog Honey to visit Susana today. Susana was a great sitter and posted me pictures and a video of her happy and playing. I would have no problem having Susana look after Honey again, she came home happy and tired from playing. Thank you x”

About: Animals have always been at the center of my life — both dogs and cats are family to me, not just pets. Caring for them isn’t something I switch off from; it’s simply who I am. Every time I go on holiday, I make sure I’m prepared — I’ve even carried a 6kg bag of animal food in my rucksack while hiking up mountains, just to ensure animals are fed and cared for (with photos to prove it). I share my life with my own cat and understand feline behavior deeply, from quiet communication to respecting boundaries. I’ve trained my cat using positive reinforcement, including recall, sit, paw, high five, and spin. I also have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels, always with patience, structure, and love. I currently volunteer at Llys Nini Cattery, where I’m surrounded by cats daily and care for a wide range of personalities — from shy and nervous to confident and playful. Every animal I look after receives the same devotion, respect, and attention I give my own. Special Skills • 🐾 Experienced with both dogs and cats • 🧠 Strong understanding of animal body language & behavior • 🐕 Excellent recall and basic training support • 🐈 Positive-reinforcement training for cats and dogs • 💖 Especially good with anxious, shy, or rescue animals • 🧘 Calm, reassuring presence that helps animals feel safe • 💊 Comfortable with basic medication administration • 🧼 Attentive to routine, hygiene, and enrichment • 📸 Regular updates and photos for peace of mind Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I currently volunteer at Llys Nini and am not working, as I’m focusing on pursuing my passion for animal care. This gives me a very flexible schedule, allowing me to provide attentive, unrushed care and adapt fully to each pet’s needs. I care for pets both at my home and at the owner’s house, depending on what works best for them. My home has a large, fully walled garden, giving dogs plenty of space to run, play, and explore safely. I provide structured walks, playtime, and mental stimulation, as well as a calm environment for pets to relax. At an owner’s home, I follow their routines closely — feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special needs or medications — to ensure pets feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I also make sure pets have plenty of attention, affection, and supervision, whether inside or outside, and I always keep their space clean, safe, and enriched so they feel happy, secure, and loved.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have always been a huge animal lover. I currently have my own dog, Joey, and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds and temperaments through Rover. I’ve looked after everything from nervous and anxious dogs who need extra reassurance and patience, to energetic, high-energy dogs who thrive on play, exercise and routine. I understand that every dog is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, needs and preferences to help them feel safe, comfortable and settled during their stay. I work from home full-time, meaning dogs are rarely left alone and receive plenty of attention, companionship, toilet breaks and enrichment throughout the day. I only take one guest dog at a time, allowing me to focus on providing individual care and a calm home environment. I have also cared for rescue and previously abused dogs who may need extra patience, understanding and gentle handling. Building trust at their pace is something I take seriously, and I always aim to provide a safe, loving environment where dogs can relax and feel secure. I offer up to two walks per day, including a longer walk after work. If your dog has favourite walking routes, parks or specific exercise preferences, I’ll do my best to accommodate them so they can maintain a familiar routine during their stay. I follow owners’ instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication requirements, training routines and any special requests. My goal is to make your dog’s stay as enjoyable and stress-free as possible while giving you peace of mind that they are being cared for like one of my own. Happy to arrange a meet & greet before any booking. I work from home full time, so dogs are rarely left alone and I’m able to give regular attention, toilet breaks and walks throughout the day. I’m flexible during weekdays and weekends and happy to fit around your dog’s usual routine to help them feel settled. I offer a calm, safe home environment and only take one guest dog at a time alongside my own friendly dog, Joey. Dogs are introduced carefully on a walk first and fed separately. I follow owners’ instructions closely, keep doors and windows secure, and always prioritise your dog’s comfort, routine and safety. Happy to do a meet & greet beforehand.

“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.”

“Gayathri has been a wonderful person in taking care of Pepper! Pepper was taken for walks and had a wonderful time! He didn't have a heart to leave Gayathri's to get back to us :) look forward to book again! Thank you so much!”

“Amy looked after our golden Suki for the first time this week and I couldn't recommend her enough. The booking was last minute due to a change in work but Amy was able to provide doggy daycare for us. When Suki arrived she was a bit nervous and had an accident, Amy handled this wonderfully and put our mind at ease. Amy also took Suki on two walks seeking permission prior. I was able to ask questions and she kept in contact throughout the day with updates and pictures. I was really nervous leaving Suki with a stranger but would absolutely rebook Amy in the future. Thank you so much, she had a wonderful day ❤️”

About: I have been responsible for my family Labrador Sonny for the last 12 years. My absolute heart and soul! I walk dogs locally in my spare time, pairing my love for the outdoors and my passion for dogs. I also have experience dog sitting in exchange for accomodation abroad which I absolutely love doing! Please feel free to contact me about anything you might need, my schedule is very flexible and I’m always happy to help out in anyway I can:) thank you for considering me. I work a zero hour hospitality job, so usually my work schedule can tailor to your needs. A usual day looks like a healthy breakfast, a big long walk usually between a hour-two hours, then I go to work usually not more than a 5 hour shift, I like cosy evenings at home or strolling on the beach. I genuinely have such a good routine for a dog to slot right in I believe. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after in either my home or the owner’s home. I follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any specific care instructions. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship to keep them happy and relaxed. I also maintain a clean environment, monitor their health and behavior, and keep owners updated with messages or photos for peace of mind. I have a fenced garden and live right on the beach for plenty of outdoor time. Also a large park close by!

About: I enjoy being outdoors and regularly explore the beautiful beaches of Swansea - perfect for keeping your dog happy, active, and engaged. I’d love to meet your dog and give them the best possible time while you’re away. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages - from cheeky, energetic puppies to senior dogs who need regular medical care and a gentler pace. I’m comfortable with all sizes and breeds, having looked after everything from miniature schnauzers and chihuahuas to retrievers and german shepherds. I live alone with my own dog, Serpico - a friendly 3 year old lurcher cross, who loves playing and socialising with other dogs - so your doggo will always have great company. We follow a consistent routine with morning and evening walks, including time for off-leash runs, but I’m always happy to adapt to suit your dog’s individual needs. As a dog owner myself, I completely understand how it feels to leave your pet in someone else’s care. That’s why I’ll always provide regular updates and photos, so you can feel reassured and relaxed while you’re away. I currently work from home on Mondays and Fridays and will only offer boarding on these days as well as weekends. Which means I have plenty of time to dedicate to your doggo. I usually go for a morning walk with my doggo at either the beach or park, providing space for a good run around. Followed up with a chilled evening walk to wind down. We’re happy to change up our schedule to meet your dog’s needs. I have a fenced garden and a dog of my own, who will act as a sociable playmate. I would love to meet up with you and your dog before boarding to make sure a connection is made with your doggo and that they feel comfortable staying at our home.

“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.”

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.

“Arrived on time to pick up Daisy and drop her back home! Sent regular updates and Daisy was obviously well looked after. Pleasant to talk to as well. Would use again. ☺️”

About: I have a young Labrador who is after a companion! Friends and family have always come to me to look after their dogs over the years. I have dropped into their homes to take them for a walk, I have stayed in their home, and dogs have stayed in my own home. I always make sure the times are full of lots of fun and love! I’ve been on the rover app for a while now and am really enjoying meeting different dogs with different personalities☺️ A lot of my work is from home and I typically work out of the house in the morning or evening for a few hours. Im self employed so my schedule is flexible. I have a fenced garden, a lovely woodland and park walk situated right by my house. I am also only a short drive from a lovely beach! I have a really friendly pup who will keep your pet company.
