Cardiff and Swansea are the largest hubs for pet services in Wales, with a strong mix of dog walkers, cat sitters, groomers and home boarders. Beyond the cities, you'll find experienced sitters working across Newport, Wrexham, Bridgend and the rural counties — often combining home visits with countryside dog walks.
Welsh pet services are typically priced a little lower than the UK average. Expect £10–£14 for a 30-minute dog walk, around £10–£14 for a cat-sitting visit and £25–£35 per night for home boarding. Mobile groomers are popular in rural areas where salon access can be more limited.
Animal welfare licensing in Wales is set by the Welsh Government and administered through local councils. Boarding, daycare and breeding businesses must be licensed and inspected, giving owners peace of mind that providers meet recognised standards.
