Any recommendations for dog kennels please?

Looking at a couple online and they don’t seem to walk them in the day as standard and just let them have access to a run. Need her walked daily really.

Thanks in advance.

Can recommend Bridgecroft kennels, Gelli Gaer, near Ystrad Mynach, Caerphilly. They do walk the dogs everyday and good clean kennels. Dogs well looked after.
Hope this helps.

I take my dog to a dog sitter in Bridgend.
Where he's treated as part of the family , sleeps in the house and walked 3 times a day .
It's called "canine companions" the only drawbacks are, they only take small to medium dogs,and a maximum of two dogs at a time, and there's usually a waiting list.

I still take my two springers to church village llantwit farde, Pontypridd kennels, Springfield kennels and its a 100 mile round trip for me. Great kennels and dogs run and walked everyday. HIGHLY RATED. They go in at least twice a year and went in for the while of Euro 2016.

I have no worries when they are there at all.

There’s a lady in Barry who does dog sitting who we take our dog to and she walks them everyday. I can send you her number if you wish.

An absolutely exceptional lady dog sitter in Caerphilly rather than kennels. Treats the dogs like her own, regularly walked several times a day and it's a wonderful atmosphere for the dogs. Can pass on number if this helps.

I wonder if they'd take in my missus and her mother? They're both medium (or think they are), don't need a lot of exercise but aren't properly house trained and are very noisy.

There's a lady in the Taffs Well area who looks after dogs. My parents and I take our dogs to her. She's less than a tenner a day and she walks them 2/3 times a day. They are treated as part of the family and get all the benefits that comes with it like sleeping in the house.

Pentyrch kennels been going there for years and the dog don't need kennel cough as the kennels are new and can be washed down the dogs get walked plus they got a field, would highly recommend them and the owners so helpful
