Sunday sleepovers! Has anyone ever noticed the number of Cocker Spaniels that come through our door, should I be questioning my sanity at this point? 🤭 We just can’t help loving their crazy little characters! Anyway, hi Rocket 👋🏼 Welcome to the mad house 🤪

I love it when our regular boarders walk through the door as if it really is their second home. No anxiety, no pining for their owners (sorry 🤭), and grab their favourite spot and relax into their holiday 🩷 Welcome back Rosa!

📢 Important Update on New Client Bookings 📢

As many of you know, I’m dedicated to providing the best possible care for the dogs I walk and board. However, to better manage my health, I’ve made the decision to temporarily pause taking on new clients until after the summer.

Existing clients are, of course, welcome to continue booking as usual. If you already have a meet and greet or overnight trial booked, this will go ahead as planned.

This decision allows me to focus on my current bookings and maintain the high standard of care I pride myself on. Thank you for your understanding and support—I truly appreciate it!

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.

Hi everyone! 👋 I thought it was the perfect time to reintroduce myself and my best buddy, Buddy, especially with so many new faces around here! 🐾

I’m Hayley, the owner of A Buddy for Hire! I’ve been running my dog walking and home-from-home boarding business since May 2023, and every day, I feel so lucky to do what I love—spending time with amazing dogs and helping them stay happy, healthy, and active. 🐕🌿

And this here is Buddy, my partner-in-crime and the inspiration behind our name! 🐶 He’s full of energy, loves a good stick, and makes sure every dog that visits feels welcome (and maybe a little bit spoiled).

At A Buddy for Hire, I offer:
✨ Group walks tailored to your dog’s needs
✨ Home-from-home boarding, where your pup becomes part of our family
✨ Plenty of care, love, and belly rubs!

I’d love to get to know YOU and your furry friends better! Tell me about your dog in the comments—what’s their favorite treat or toy? Or if you’re new here, feel free to say hi! 🐾💬

Nothing beats a beautiful sunny day for a fun group walk in a secure, open field! ☀️🐕 There’s nothing like watching happy tails wagging, paws racing, and pups making new friends in a stress-free environment!

📅 Group Walks
✨ Secure, enclosed field
✨ Carefully managed groups
✨ Perfect for active, happy dogs

Walk with us Wednesday! What a fantastic Wednesday walk! Buddy, Lilly, Tommy, Monty, Murphy and Ozzy had a blast today. Our group walks are a great way for dogs to socialize, explore, and burn off some energy. 🐕 Interested in joining our group walks? Message us to book your spot! #dowhatmakesyouhappy #cardiffdogwalker #groupwalks

Sorry, not sorry! 🙌🏼

There’s only one thing to do when it snows! Make doggy snow angels!! ❄️

Happy 2nd Birthday to Lola, the sassiest, flirtiest dog I’ve ever met 😂🩷

🎃🕷️ Happy Howloween 🕷️🎃

After almost two weeks of Zeus I’ve come to realise this means “Hurry up love, I need a wee!” 😂 He also likes to tell us off when we get home from being out. He has been such a good boy, so full of character, with a sprinkling of craziness. It’s home time for him tomorrow and the house is going to all of a sudden feel very dull! 🩵🩵

Husky zoomies 😂

Sometimes I like to test everyone’s recall without saying a word 🤭 I say nothing and just wait for them to realise I’ve stopped, as you can see this is highly irritating for Murphy who begrudgingly came over at the end 😂

A much needed trip to the beach 🥰

Ozzy, I’m sorry but with a happy tail like that it just had to be done! 🤭😂

Ever wondered what a Saturday morning looks like at A Buddy for Hire? Breakfast, play and walks are always on the agenda here! Then it’s usually home to crash out 💤 #dogboarderlife #dogboarder #cardiff #dog

Saturday mornings and ‘pick your own blackberries’ 😂
