About Big Bark
6+ years of trusted dog care across South Wales.
We Walk the Bark
Over the last six years, I've been trusted by dog owners across South Wales to care for their dogs as if they were my own.
Over that time, I've had the privilege of watching dogs grow from puppies into seniors, with some of my longest-standing clients having been with me for five or six years. Building those relationships with both the dogs and their owners is something I'm incredibly proud of.
Every dog is different, and getting to know their personality, routine and individual needs is at the heart of what I do. Whether they need a forest adventure, a day of home-based care or somewhere comfortable to stay overnight, my aim is always the same: for every dog to feel safe, happy and completely at home with Big Bark.

The Big Bark Approach
Every dog is unique. That's why we never apply a one-size-fits-all approach.
Free Home Visit
We come to you first, meeting your dog in their own home and discussing exactly what they need.
Trial Assessment
Every dog has a trial period to ensure they're comfortable and happy with us before any regular booking begins.
Home Environment
Dogs enjoy free roam of the house and our 65 × 49 ft garden, just like being at home.
Medication & Dietary Care
Happy to administer medication and strictly observe all dietary requirements without exception.
Mandatory Vaccination Checks
All dogs must meet Big Bark's vaccination requirements before joining daycare, adventure walks or home boarding. Vaccination records are checked before bookings are confirmed to help protect the health and wellbeing of every dog in our care.
Meet & Greet and Assessment
Every new dog completes a meet and greet and assessment before joining Big Bark. This gives me the opportunity to get to know your dog, understand their personality and individual needs, and make sure they're comfortable in the environment before their first booking.
