About us

We’re a small, fully insured pet care service based at home in Cefnpennar, Mountain Ash. We look after dogs in a calm, caring way, keeping numbers low so every pet gets proper attention and doesn’t feel rushed or overwhelmed.

Our focus is to make dogs feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re with us. We take the time to get to know each dog and stick to routines that help them feel settled.

To keep things manageable and relaxed, we don’t take large breeds, and we carefully limit how many dogs we care for at one time. Daycare and boarding are available, with a genuine home‑from‑home feel rather than a kennel environment.

We’re also home to a very friendly 11‑year‑old King Charles Spaniel, Finn. Finn has a gentle nature, is well socialised, and is used to being around visiting dogs. His calm presence helps reinforce the relaxed, home‑from‑home environment we aim to provide.

Dog Walking

Our dog walks are unhurried and focused on your dog enjoying their time out. Each walk lasts a full hour and is tailored to what your dog is comfortable with — whether that’s a steady stroll, sniffing around, or just getting some fresh air and company.

We keep things calm and safe, never overloading walks or rushing dogs through them.

£15 per walk – 1 hour

Daycare

Daycare is perfect for dogs who are happy spending the day in a home setting, whether that is in our home or yours, rather than being left alone or placed in a busy environment. Dogs have space to relax, regular comfort breaks, and plenty of supervision throughout the day.

We limit numbers to keep things settled and stress‑free, making sure every dog gets the attention they need.

£20 per dog per day – up to 8 hours

Boarding

Our licensed boarding service is designed to feel as normal and comfortable as possible for your dog. Dogs stay in a home environment with familiar routines, one‑to‑one care, and plenty of reassurance.

To keep things calm, we take a maximum of two dogs per property, so each one gets proper attention and doesn’t feel crowded.

£30 per night

Floofy Paws Dog Grooming

We highly recommend Floofy Paws Dog Grooming for professional dog grooming and wedding chaperoning services. Their caring, friendly approach ensures every pet looks and feels their best, whether it’s for a regular pamper session or to be part of your special day.

  • Thoroughly recommend the Very Important Pet Club. Jayne's professional, caring, and experienced care of Swingle when we were away was marvellous. Total piece of mind. We had photos of our dog not missing us at all as she was in a five-star home!

  • Hugo had a lovely few weeks @veryimportantpetsclub. Jayne stepped in at short notice, walking Hugo whilst we were away on holidays. We loved the regular videos and pics showing much of a good time he was having - which gave us piece of mind. I would 100% recommend @veryimportantpetsclub. Thank you.

  • Thanks so much for looking after Popeye while we were away. I've never felt so relaxed @veryimportantpetsclub.

  • We couldn’t have been happier to have found Jayne, not only did she help us out when we needed a dog sitter at short notice, she took the most excellent care of our 21 month Sprocker Spaniel! She kept us updated everyday with pictures and videos and we could see just how happy and at home he was with Jayne. Genuinely couldn’t be happier and don’t think we would go anywhere else for our poochy sitting needs!! 5 stars would highly recommend!
