Dog Sitters in Rhondda Cynon Taf

Our Golden Retriever absolutely adores this place and Katrina. Going to daycare has really helped him socialise with other dogs and his training has come on leaps and bounds. Between the outdoor paddocks, the custom built indoor play area and of course inside Katrina’s home, it is the perfect setting. The “Big n Bouncy” monthly socials are also a great opportunity for our pooch to socialise with other dogs in a safe and fun environment. He has his regular pals that have really helped with his socialisation training. We’ve been to the Puppy training class and Obedience through tricks - both were really helpful for pooch’s training journey and Katrina is so knowledgeable and experienced she makes it look easy! Our dog’s safety and wellbeing is everything to us and we are totally confident that he is taken care of as well as he would be at home. For us, our dog tells us all we need to know about this place. He drags us up the steps to get there and never wants to leave - he’s treated like family there and I would highly recommend to anyone.

I rescued a dog from Romania who was very afraid nervous and timid. We asked woof n tales for help and they were amazing from classes to helping her getting used to new people and dogs and also day care and holiday boarding.Now our dog gets very excited when she realises where she’s going and really enjoys her time there. Its an amazing place whether your looking for classes for a puppy , social time with other dogs or somewhere safe for them to stay while you go on holidays.I highly recommend Woof N Tales for an doggy needs.

Well what can I say, home from home is exactly what you get from Katrina & family. I know that my two are so well looked after when they stay here. Lots of interaction with lots of other dogs big and small. Regular updates received, I just feel so relaxed leaving my dogs here. Very experienced with dogs and any problems quickly identified and you are informed asap. Lots of room for dogs to play outside safely and even a swimming pool. It really is a dog hotel and for what it costs it is value for money would never leave mine in kennels and they both absolutely love it here. I can’t recomend W&T highly enough.

Highly recommended. Freki loves it there, and Katrina really has created a brilliant place. She really cares and looks after the pooches, and is always helpful in case you as a new owner have some questions. Thank you Katrina

I would highly recommend woof and tales,I'd had years without holidays as would never leave my dogs in kennels,I was recommended by a friend from our st Bernard meet,first started my rescue saint Bernard on the big dog social day they do every month she was a big shy and didn't play much on first one but after her second one she really started mixing and playing with all the other dogs,and was lovely be be sent a video of her time there after the day ended, since then she's been for long weekends a week and now I've just picked her up from a 9 day stay and each time she come out happy and well and obviously loves katrina.its lovely to know I can go on a holiday without having to worry and stress about my fur baby,wonderful place

W&T is Angus's 2nd home. From the time we tell him he is going to stay with Katrina he is wagging his tail. Jake is fantastic too and Angus adores him. Paul is everywhere around still and he had a huge impact on Angus when a puppy. We would NEVER use anywhere else for boarding, daycare, fun days and have recommend this fab place to close friends.. W&T is a place for fun, care, love and special dogs... Its home from home for our special boy. Diolch. 💙 xxxxxxxxx

Fantastic course, Teddy has come on leaps and bounds. Can’t recommend highly enough

I've trusted this family buisness with my dogs since they were pups. There is no where else I would take them. They are brilliant, professional and above all have a wonderful love for dogs. My two have attended day care there since they were very small. They did training and have done all sorts of socialising. This has no doubt helped my dogs be the most social and loving family pets. I'm very grateful for the service.

Not recommended for boarders. My pensioner old oyster parson terrier returned home with three puncture wounds with the proprietor unaware he was Injured. Lack of due diligence in supervising her animals. Reason given was my dog disturbed a sleeping pack which caused reaction and squabble . Poor excuse, dogs do squabble but the is a clear lack of supervision as I have said. Poor service.

love this class Caru really showed off what she had learnt tonight. so proud of her can't thank you enough. I would highly recommend this class to anyone. thank you for all your help

Becca was a brilliant pet sitter. My pomeranian isn't sure about going for walks. Becca trained her and brought her for walks with other dogs Now she's able to go for walks and enjoys it too. Thank you so much Becca. Never met a pet sitter so great and helpful.

I’d 100% recommend Becca😊! She is the most lovely dog sitter, and can tell a hugeeee fur baby lover❤️. She treats our cookie as if she’s her own. Always has been available on every request :). We get updates throughout the day, via text and videos:) ! …

Ebony always had fab care with Becca! She literally didn’t want to leave and would be happy on the journey recognising the road. There is plenty of fun had with other dogs, playtime, walking, cwtches, treats and it would make my day seeing photos and videos ❤️ well recommended, dioch yn fawr!

First time leaving our dog for a weekend we were really nervous as he isn’t used to other dogs but right from the initial meeting our minds were at rest, Becca kept us updated all weekend with photos and videos of all the activities she does with them and Ted had a great weekend! Would highly recommend and will be using again 🥰 …

I literally can’t recommend cwmbark (becca) enough she has been amazing with Arlo he looks so happy and having so much fun don’t think he wanted to come home 🤦🏻‍♀️😂 anyone looking for someone to look after your fur babies becca is your woman, thank you so much. Arlo is now knackered 😴 …

Becka is brilliant with our Collie, she is always so welcoming and makes the dogs at ease at the start of the day, that they don't want to leave at the end of day.

Absolutely amazing lady. So good with my dogs. Kept me updated daily with photos and videos while I was away. The dogs were very relaxed and at home with Becca. I've already rebooked with her and will definitely recommend her services. 5 stars isn't enough for the service she provides. Thanks Becca. You're amazing

Absolutely amazing service, incredible woman who adores dogs, my darla loves her and russell, will forever be my trusted dog sitter, keeps me updated with pics, always caters to darlas needs and mine, it was so lovely to be able to trust that my dog is safe, would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a dog sitter! Becca is a lovely energetic bubbly person who’s so easy to get on with! See you again soon🐾

Our two boys absolutely love their time with Becca!! She always keeps us updated with how they're doing and sends us pictures and videos of them loving their time with her!! Highly recommend her 💜 …

Becca was amazing, from start to finish clearly knows her stuff and Cooper had an amazing time - he didn't want to come home! Looked after him as if it were her own, with constant updates. Will definitely be going back to Becca. Thank you so much

Marvellous service, first time we've had to leave our dog anywhere and well chuffed to see she got on just fine and well looked after. Will definitely use them again when needed. She is now cwtched up back at home after all the excitement of seeing us after a week .

Great place to put your animal in when you are away even for one night or a week

Was really nervous about putting my two dogs into the kennels but we got reassured that our babies will be just fine.. when we picked them up they were so bouncy and happy! Which put us at ease straight away.. tbh I don’t think they wanted to leave aha! Great service great kennels would highly recommend.. our dogs even smelt amazing too and felt so soft!

Very friendly and helpful staff my dog enjoyed staying there. I highly recommend them as they really care for your pets

Staff here are so caring and nothing was too much trouble,price was better than others and I'd recommend you take your cat or dog to this incredible home for loved animals

We've been boarding our dogs here for over 9 years. Amazing staff and the dogs love their time there

Have always sent our cats to this Boarding Kennel since 2000 .When they were brought back home the two of them would run to greet us & then run back to the van & get back on ,waiting for Tina .Both our cats passed away a few years ago & we had a kitten 2 yrs ago .He goes there regularly when we go away & I wouldn’t send him anywhere else .They are very family orientated ,caring & loving towards the animals .I have been there unexpectedly & it’s always the same,gentle & caring towards all of the animals . They will for a small payment collect & return your pet & if you want your dog shampooed they’ll also do that for you .Its clean ,friendly & noisy ,just like it should be & extra care is given to pets with medical needs & those who are nervous .Nothing is too much trouble for any of the staff there . Rhiannon the owner is very helpful as is Tina ( who we’ve known from our pets going there over the years). I’ve never bothered to look elsewhere as I know my pets will be well looked after here . I have recommended this kennel/ cattery many times over the years & will continue to do so .

We contacted this business (through the messaging service suggested by Google) to request pricing and availability for boarding two dogs and two cats (all rescues) in January. After we answered some initial automated questions, someone from the business asked the breeds of our dogs. I responded to say that they are mix breeds (terrier and saluki), and received no reply whatsoever thereafter. I followed up with another message to ask for a quote for boarding, and they ignored me again. I can’t understand this and am not sure whether to infer that they do not want to board mix breed dogs? Extremely disappointed and would give zero stars if I could.

Was a bit worried about leaving our pup as it was his first time in kennels , owner and staff reassured us that he would be fine and he was , in fact he didn't want to leave . He will be going back for his holidays !!!! . Thankyou to you all for looking after him so well .

These people cost me over £600 ,I had a holiday booked and on the day of my dogs first injections was told not to worry about booking at that stage and get in touch 3 weeks hence when her booster was due.When I fang again they told me they were fully booked,it was too late to book elsewhere.!

Used this wonderful service twice now, and will continue to do so, my dog is more of a home dog and I don't like putting him in kennels, this is perfect for us and for him, he gets home comforts and care with a trusted sitter who loves the little fella. I don't worry now when I go away as I know he is happy and looked after. Great service and great communication.

We've used We Love Pets Bridgend cat sitting service twice now, and can highly recommend. They ask lots of questions about your pet's personality and are very accommodating of all their little quirks. We got photos and updates every day we were away which really put our minds at ease, since we were nervous to leave them for such a long time. Very happy and will not hesitate to use again :)

Emma did an absolutely fantastic job of looking after our girls (2 basset hounds) for 2 weeks whilst we were on holiday. We received very regular updates and it was amazing knowing they were being so well looked after. It’s clear to see Emma’s genuine love for pets and she is our go to!

We are so delighted to have found We love pets Bridgend. When we suddenly needed regular pet sitting Emma came and visited before our first sit a couple of months back. She was amazing taking so much detail and time for their care. Emma is always responsive regarding dates which is brilliant. We come home to happy, relaxed, well fed and watered cats. Even their special fussy ways cared for! The regular updates and photos are so great. It means so much to know they are ok while we are away so we can relax. We highly recommend We love pets Bridgend if you need any pet sitters.

Emma looked after our two cats while we were away and made us feel so at ease. She gave us regular updates and gave the cats lots of attention, they really seemed at ease around her! Thank you so much, we look forward to using We Love Pets again in the future :)

We really enjoyed the service and care from We Love Pets! They looked after our three cats, with lots of updates over WhatsApp. It helped us enjoy our holiday more as we knew they were taken care of. Both us and our cats were very pleased we didn't have to put them into a cattery ☺️ Cannot recommend enough, we will be using again!

Emma and her team are our to go people to have our cats visited while we are travelling. They are very reliable and also very good with our cats. They send daily updates and photos showing how the cats are doing. If you need pet services, I recommend We Love Pets Bridgend team.

Great service! We have used the service before with our previous dog but now have another rescue who was initially quite reactive but has mellowed considerably. We were worried about whether a sitter would work with our Jess, who can be quite hit and miss with strangers, but we gradually built up a great relationship with a couple of the walkers who were able to read Jess’ moods and body language brilliantly and responded with the appropriate behaviour required. The team is very understanding about ‘difficult’ dogs and have been so good with our Jess that I think she might even prefer her sitters to her owners. Communication is excellent, the service is faultless and I am very grateful to the wonderful ladies Sarah and Emma that allow me to work shifts without worrying about Jess. Thank you guys x

Very easy to deal with, all arrangements made easily. Daisy and Poppy were looked after extremely well. Very happy and will definitely be a return customer.

Amazing, amazing, amazing! We have a very nervous super high energy springer spaniel. With her being so nervous it's stressful leaving her with anyone but the team have been absolutely incredible with our mad dog. So patient and she gets a proper run around everyday which makes life so much easier when we come home from a busy day at work. The meet and greet massively put me at ease as it's clear to see the love they have for dogs. Thank you so much for taking care of Cari. She's nuts and you deserve a medal!

Fantastic service! My Norman is knackered after every walk! I get updates with what he has been up too, they are always available to chat to any worries/concerns and Norman loves them! Thank you guys xxx

Great communication, very professional and friendly. Honest people who I felt happy to leave my dog in the care of. I was kept updated about walks and any issues. Great value , I woukd recommend them and use their services again.

We have a very nervous dog as well as 2 cats. We were bit worried about going on holiday for first time but GnB were fantastic....always on the end of the phone, lots of updates. Took dog on long walks which were trackable. House was left clean and tidy. So relieved when we came home as pets were well looked after....thanks Babs and Gareth can't recommend you enough...great job

Great cat sitting service, would highly recommend.

These people go above and beyond I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my dogs

Mike and Haley are awesome! They have looked after our little Cockapoo, Ginny for many years! She simply loves going there, it’s like home from home x

So pleased with mike and Hayley's service..i was abit nervous leaving my lovely ozzy behind when we went on hols...but ozzy had a fab time.. loved seeing the pics of the dogs..All looking so happy..An excellent service with a lovely family that treat's all the dogs like their own. A big thanks mike,Hayley and livvy. X

Brilliant service. Our dog loved it here. Excellent

Tilly had a fun time

not visited

The staff at Springfields are great. I’ve used them a few times now. My dog had a bad experience at another kennel. They took the time to gain his trust and get to know him. Milo goes in happy he doesn’t even look back. Thanks for taking care of him.

Our dog Otis has been going to Springfields since he was a puppy for both day care and kennels. He loves his visits to Springfields and can't wait to get out of the car when we arrive. He adores the staff and they always take great care of him. Highly recommended!

Billie & the team are fantastic. Our boy loves his time up day club & we love it because he's normally tired from playing with others 😁 all the team are lovely & really good with our boy. Very accommodating & professional, we know our dog is in good hands.

My English bull terrier stayed here from 13/5/24 for 8 nights This is the second time he has gone here When we arrived & all paperwork was was completed there was no welcome shown for my dog He’s very timid after being attacked by another dog when he was young therefore he’s scared of other dogs In our return to collect him the person who runs it seen us waiting & completely blanked us When our dog was eventually brought to us we were then informed that because of his social issues with other dogs he could not go back there unless we socialise him We have tried dog classes & it made no difference to him I would suggest they DO NOT take in timid dogs I had already decided when leaving him there this time would be the last They are not dog lovers & it’s all about the money I have since spoken to various kennels & my dog doesn’t seem to be a problem he doesn’t growl bark he’s never shown any aggression he’s just a soft laid back English bull terrier…. I have since kennelled him at panty milar kennels & from the start he was made a fuss of & spoken to as you would expect from dog lovers on our return to collect him we were told that he’s such a good sweet gentle dog & he was happier coming from there than he was from Springfields it’s also a bit cheaper although money was never the issue with us but it’s all about the money at Springfields

Our dog Peggy has stayed here a few times now and she absolutely loves it. We were extremely nervous about leaving her for the first time initially but they did such a great job of looking after her. Also really appreciated them administering her regular medication and sending us photo and video updates. She's booked in again soon and I'm sure she'll also love her own mini holiday!

Fantastic kennels that our dog has stayed at for day care and overnights when we are on holidays. We viewed seven other kennels and Springfield was by far the best. The kennels are well presented, offer privacy for the dogs, well kept exercise areas and a massive bonus is that it doesn’t represent a prison like most others! The staff are fantastic and my dog is never in a rush to get home which says it all about how good they get treated there 😂

My Mylo goes here every week and he absolutely loves it! He always gets so excited when he knows we’re close and I can never get him in the car to come home, the staff here are so lovely and you can tell they are real animal lovers. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my baby!

I always use Springfield to care for my cat when I go away, I wouldn't trust anyone else to look after him. I love that they always send me pictures when I check in on how he's doing.

Smooth booking process. My firbaby was there for 4 days and when I collected her she was happy and content. Happy dog, happy owner.

Springfields took wonderful care of our dog for a week. Highly recommend

Our dogs absolutely love it here. It’s our go-to place for the dogs when we’re travelling overseas. Overnight boarding includes daycare which is what makes this place so much better than a regular Kennel. Sam and her team take great care of the dogs, nothing is too much trouble. The dogs have an awesome time and you can check online at the end of every day to see the latest photos of their adventures! You can also book treats and toys, like stuffed Kong toys, to keep them entertained at night, if they have any energy left! Couldn’t be further from the ‘one walk a day’ kennel alternatives. When I go to pick them up, usually they don’t want to leave…they’d rather be out in the yard playing with the other dogs then come home to the humans! Mind you, when I get them back they are usually broken! After a two week trip away the dogs usually sleep for two days! Pricing is reasonable however premium rates…which is reflected in the service, care given by staff, safety (big plus) and quality of the facilities. 50% deposit up front and balance when you drop them off. Deposit is non-refundable, however ok the rare occasion I’ve had to change dates, we’ve always been accommodated without any fuss. Worth every penny.

Our gorgeous little blue staffy, Ruby, is a frequent happy visitor at their doggy daycare and is tail wagging and happy when we pick her up. My son picked Ruby up yesterday, providing the secret password they require for absolute security, following our week away on holiday. Ruby stayed in their deluxe room which has air conditioning or heating depending on the weather. When we returned home she was delighted to see us and was happy and is her absolutely gorgeous self! We had regular‘Enrichment Reports’ on the Royvon app when we were away with pictures of her playing with her friends, how she was and if she was eating the food. We cannot recommend the team highly enough! They all know her personality because she has attended daycare there and picked up on her mood change following her first season. This is a professional company with highly skilled dog lovers in their team. Putting your dogs happiness, safety and care is the heart of what they do. They are the best! Thank you, Jess, Niccie, Emily, Kiara and all of the brilliant dog lovers who looked after her.

I was very apprehensive and worried about sending Roxy to Royvon playhouse Bridgend as she had not been since it was Fur Indoors. Still I went ahead as it's the only place Roxy has ever been. Well I'm over the moon that I did. Staff were absolutely fantastic kept me up to date with reports, took lots of pictures, phoned me when there was an issue, spent time with me discussing everything and most importantly (the reason I waited a few days until posting this review was to see if she was showing any signs of been ill) followed Roxys strict regime whilst in boarding as she is unable to have any other food and needs a fair bit of medication and regular feeding otherwise she becomes extremely unwell. Roxy has never not lost weight when away from home there and she came home a very healthy weight which I was thrilled to see as she is slim. Roxy made many friends and it was so lovely to see her happy and playing whilst there as they catered for her specific needs. Staff were kind, gentle and friendly and did a great job. Thank you so much. Roxy will be back :)

Mickey 🐩 absolutely loves his time at Royvon for boarding, day care and training with Fletcher. His behaviours have dramatically improved due to simple clicker training techniques that Fletcher has worked on, it has allowed him to become more controlled and less reactive. Throughout his boarding and training there was regular updates, videos and pictures that keep you assured on how they are doing but also help you to learn and maintain the training and good work they do. Follow up sessions have also been incredibly beneficial. Couldn’t recommend enough!

Vinnie has been going to Royvon since he was 14 weeks old and absolutely loves it. They took extra special care of him when he was young to ensure he had extra rest breaks and they have loved watching him grow. The staff have wonderful relationships with all of the dogs and we really enjoy looking on social media to see the photos of what they have been up to each day.

We were worried about leaving Luna in a kennels when we went on holidays, as we have never left her before, we needn’t have worried though, she was in good hands, the staff were lovely and friendly and wonderful with dogs. Luna had daily training with Fletcher and has come on great, we can’t thank him enough for his hard work. Also while away we were kept up to date with fabulous photos of her playing and interacting with other dogs. We can't thank them enough for looking after luna and will definitely be back to use them in the future!

Gus has the best time whenever he goes on his holidays to fur indoors. They took great care of him when the weather was really hot, we were worried due to him overheating easily but they really put us at ease. He can't wait for his next visit, he loves making friends, and we really appreciate the photos uploaded each day to Facebook so we can see our boy enjoying himself.

I have recently attended one to one training with fletcher with my 2 collies Jack and Blue. They both needed different training so I had separate training for each of them. Fletcher is a very nice young man who is very knowledgeable and professional and helped me enormously with training and building my confidence in respect of my dogs. I would definitely give Fletcher 10 out of 10 for training. My dogs have also boarded at Royvon on a number of occasions and are happy and excited to stay. The staff are always friendly and make a fuss of the dogs.

Can't thank Royvon enough for helping with my dogs reactivity. Fletcher was really great with barney and has made such a difference to his confidence and general behaviour with other dogs. Highly recommend.

Amazing place for your pups. We had ours in boarding for the week, and she absolutely loved her stay. Pictures every day, and she definitely had lots of fun. Sam and the team are just brilliant. Tina will return soon.

Anna looked after my 2 cats, hamster and fish for an entire weekend and I couldn't recommend her more. My house was spotless when I came home the cats were calm and happy. She's very professional and the animals always come first!

I can't recommend Annie enough. She so reliable, always on hand to help, is very flexible when my plans change last minute and replies to quickly when needed. My dog loves her and is always excited when she comes to pick him up.

Amazing friendly service. Really cares for your pets like her own. Reliable, flexible and good value for money. Provides really good tips for training and is willing to work with your wants/wishes and supports with training.

My boy first walk off lead . He such a mammy boy but this group has brought him out of his shell thanks x

Such an awesome place..the staff so caring too

Sept 2022: Caroline walked our dog, a JRT with behavioural issues, whilst we were away on holiday for the week. We felt completely at ease with trusting Caroline to take care of our dog. Our dog had a lovely time and we would not hesitate to use Caroline’s services again in future! July 2023: We used Caroline's services again for week whilst on holiday. She was great and really gave us peace of mind knowing our dog was in safe hands! Highly recommend her to anyone!

A 5 star recomendation from me and also from my cat Tibs whom Caroline looked after recently. Caroline developed an instant rapport with my cat . I was v impressed. Not only that Caroline was a huge help in taking on an extra days visit at very short notice. All in all very good service .

Caroline is absolutely brilliant. She looked after my energetic little pug Jessie overnight at such short notice, and was brilliant. This was the first time I had ever used a dog sitter, and I would definitely use Caroline's services again. She made our night very stress free by sending me photos of Jessie throughout the evening. Jessie was extremely well looked after throughout the day/evening and was taken for regular walks (One to Ponty Park, very spoilt!) - I would 100%recommend Caroline's services! - I will be using Caroline in future rather than the kennels as Jessie much prefers being in her own environment. Thank you so much :) x

Fantastic alternative to the cattery for our cat Mickey. Mickey refuses to eat whilst away from home and struggles with separation anxiety. Caroline took excellent care of him at our home, he thrived under her love and attention - I think he was missing her when we came home :) Can highly recommend for a trustworthy and reliable sitter, who goes the extra mile. The Animal Sitter takes the worry out of being away from your loved pet.

Thank you so much for looking after our cats, Penny and Leonard, whilst we were away. It was a great comfort to receive the messages and just how commited to looking after them you were. It was very reasurring and I was pleasantly surprised just how much you cared about them. You can see here that they are both very happy and it was such a better option than putting them in a cat shelter. Thank you!

Caroline took great care of Bruiser our Chihuahua whilst we went away for our holiday this year. To be fair he looked healthier when we collected him than before we dropped him off ... Five star!!!

Looked after our border terrier Horace for a weekend, Caroline was lovely and really put our minds at rest! Definitely better than kennels and would certainly use again, Horace had his bag packed already :)

Looked after Jasper for us and we cant thank you enough! You gave us peace of mind in order for us to enjoy our holiday knowing how well Jasper was cared for. And the regular photo updates were an added bonus! Many thanks Sue & Andrew Costly

Caroline was amazing,kept me updated often 😊i was away for a long period of time and she looked after my home as well as my pets..the price was reasonable as well 💞 …

This lady is wonderfully caring and goes above and beyond to give the best care for your companion! Has 100% your companion's best interests at heart. Highly recommend.
