Having had a bad experience with a previous pet sitting company, I was keen to find someone who…read morewould do a great job of looking after my pet chinchilla. B was more than happy to look after him, despite never having had any experience with them. I wrote instructions on what he would need, and the first day I took him to stay with her, she told me she had also been doing research. 2 days later, I came to pick him up and his cage was spotless, he was happy, and overall I was so pleased with the service that I keep going back to her. Lovely woman too, always happy to look after him when I need her to :)

From the owner: Folly Field Home Boarding is a unique home from home dog boarding establishment…read more The visiting dogs are able to run free in a large securely fenced garden and field or they can relax in our home. I say we are unique because only the most very special dogs can stay here. Also living here are our own dogs, cats and chickens. Life is always fun and everyone gets on. We are surrounded by beautiful countryside with fantastic walks to go on and lots of things to sniff and see. I walk with you and your dog to help get to know you both and you can do this as often as you like. There is also the change to leave your dog for a couple of hours to see if they like it. When staying your VIP (very important pooch) can send you updates on what they have been doing, so you know they are safe and enjoying themselves. In their busy stay in between walking, playing, sleeping and making new friends the visitors make cards to take home. It all adds to the fun! All you need to now is book a meet and greet and you and your VIP can see how you like it.

Happydogs Home Boarding is very reasonably priced from around £15 per day (£25 per day for 2 dogs),…read morebut it isn't quite as convenient for Cardiff residents as some other dog boarding options because it's based in Taffs Well. If you have a car, however, it's really not very far outside of the city - just about a 15 minute drive from the centre, when the traffic's good - and they are surrounded by countryside in which they can walk your dog while you're away. What's put me off using this business is the fact that the owner Tracy doesn't board all dogs herself - instead she has built up a small network of experienced dog lovers who are able to take pets into their homes and offer them their usual home comforts. Personally, however, I'd prefer to know exactly who my dog is staying with and get to meet them first, rather than going through an 'agent' who then places my dog in an available home. Also, when you visit the 'Carers' page on the website, the photos look like stock photos rather than pictures of real carers, which doesn't have that personal touch. On the other hand, I do know of two dog owners who have gone through this dog boarding business and their dogs have enjoyed really good breaks, so it definitely seems to deserve a few stars. The carers will happily stick with your dog's normal daily routine as close as possible so there's minimal disruption, and they'll cater for some special needs.

Well, what can you say about Royvon...For a start it has a dog hotel! Literally your pooches…read moreslumber in their very own boutique accommodation! So, if your like me and hate leaving your dog (tears/wailing/performing as puppy waggles off for her holiday!) here really is the place to bring he or she. Established in 1959, Royvon has had many years to establish itself as the industry leader in all aspects of Dog Behaviour Training, and boy does it do that! Their Dog Training Schools offer a wide range of Dog Training services including Residential Dog Training (They will actually train your dog in the Boarding Kennels whilst you are on holiday), Puppy Training Classes, Dog Obedience Training and Targeted Dog Behaviour Training for breed specific obedience or training problems. They are even on offer to just have a chat about your mut. All in all the perfect dog kennels, this place even comes with a 100% recommendation...beat that suckers!

I love going on holiday abroad, but I always worry about leaving my dog in someone else's care…read more She's way too spoilt to be holed up in kennels for a week, so I always opt for home boarding where she can enjoy home comforts, company, and plenty of fuss. I've tried a few different places since I got her, not because I've been unhappy with any of them but simply because some I've used previously have been fully booked when I've called them again, so I've had to find alternatives. Helen's 'home from home' boarding is properly licensed by Cardiff County Council and owners who leave their dog in her care can receive text or email updates about their pet's stay, if they want. Helen doesn't accept dogs with any aggression, so you don't need to worry about your pooch being bullied during their holiday. And she herself loves dogs, so you know they're going to get plenty of attention. It's not the cheapest place to board your dog, of course - the charges are generally £20 per dog per day - but I think it's worth the cost to have peace of mind that your dog is also enjoying a holiday of its own while you're off sunning yourself! Helen seems to genuinely love dogs and when you go to pick your hound up after your holiday they seem happy and balanced, albeit pleased to see their real pack leader back!
