Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about dog boarding in Cardiff.

How much does dog boarding cost in Cardiff?
Cardiff home boarding typically costs £22 to £55 per night, among the more affordable UK capitals, with popular areas like Pontcanna and Llandaff at the higher end. On Petme owners pay 0% commission, so the agreed rate is the full price, with cashback after the stay. Demand rises on Principality Stadium event weekends, so book early then.
Is home boarding better than a kennel in Cardiff?
Most Cardiff dogs settle better in a home than a kennel, keeping a normal routine and one-to-one attention rather than a run in a facility. A local boarder can use Bute Park, Roath Park, or the coast at Penarth for daily walks, so your dog stays well exercised throughout the stay.
How do I find a dog boarder near me in Cardiff?
Search your area or postcode in the Petme app to see verified boarders across Roath, Canton, Pontcanna, Cathays and out to Whitchurch and Penarth, sorted by distance. A nearby sitter keeps handover quick and your dog on familiar local routes.
Does the Protection Plan apply to Cardiff boarding stays?
Yes. The Protection Plan offers up to £20,000 for eligible emergencies during the stay, subject to its terms. Your sitter can use a local Cardiff vet and the Protection Plan may contribute toward eligible costs, subject to its terms.
Can I do a meet-and-greet in Cardiff before booking?
Yes. You can arrange a meet-and-greet with the boarder at their home before booking, so you can see the space, introduce your dog to any resident pets, and confirm the match. Profiles also show reviews from previous Cardiff stays to help you choose.
