Need a strong deterrent for a site that is difficult to cover on foot? Servesify provides tailored dog handling security in Cardiff for plant yards, depots, industrial units and development sites. Whether you need overnight patrols, weekend cover or a dog and handler team for a temporary project, we can
discuss your site’s risks and recommend a suitable arrangement
Cardiff has large open sites that are hard to watch from a single gatehouse: plant and vehicle yards, industrial estates around Wentloog and Tremorfa, retail and trade parks, and development plots in and around the Bay. On a long perimeter, a trained dog and handler team can cover more ground than a guard on foot and gives a clear visual and audible warning to anyone thinking of entering. Our aim is to match the arrangement to your site, your hours and the risks you need to
manage.
Depending on the agreed assignment, a handler’s duties may include patrolling the perimeter, checking gates, containers and buildings, reporting anything unusual, recording incidents and calling the police where needed. The dog stays under the handler’s control at all times. We agree the duties, patrol routes and reporting arrangements before cover begins.
Here’s why our clients trust us for dog handling in Cardiff.
Contact our team with the site address, perimeter size, hours of cover and proposed start date. Let us know about neighbouring homes, existing fencing, lightning or CCTV, and any previous incidents.
We look at fencing, gates, lightning, blind spots, public access and a safe area for the dogg and handler. Where appropriate, we may recommend a site visit before finalising a proposal.
Your proposal sets out the agreed scope, number of teams, hours and commercial terms so you can decide whether the arrangement fits your site.
Patrol routes, warning signs, emergency and key holder contacts, and incident reporting are agreed before the service starts.
Our services are designed to give organisers complete confidence, no matter the size or complexity of the occasion.
We welcome enquiries from sites in Cardiff’s industrial and commercial areas as well as development sites in and around the city centre and Cardiff Bay. For sites elsewhere in Cardiff or the Vale of Glamorgan, contact us with the postcode so we can confirm coverage and availability.

Yards, depots and development sites carry different risks depending on their size, fencing, stock and what is left on site overnight. A dog handling plan should be built around those conditions rather than a standard package.
REPORTED INCIDENT | CARDIFF (LLANRUMNEY / ST MELLONS) | JUNE 2026
At around 1.45am on Monday 8 June 2026, South Wales Police were called to Countisbury Avenue in Llanrumney after a JCB was driven into a commercial property. Police said the machine had earlier been reported stolen from a farm in St Mellons. Officers asked the public not to speculate while enquiries into the circumstances and motive continued, and appealed for witnesses.

This is one reported incident, and police have not said what lay behind it, so we draw no conclusions about it. It is a reminder that valuable plant and vehicles kept on open or edge-of-city sites can be targeted, and that overnight perimeter
and out-of-hours arrangements are worth reviewing.
We focus on understanding what must be protected, how people and vehicles could get in and when cover is needed.
Depending on the assignment, the agreed plan can include patrol routes, patrol times, warning signs, handler welfare arrangements, contact details and incident records.
You should know what the handler is expected to do and who to contact if site conditions change, for example when a new phase of building work starts. Speak to our operations team about the level of cover that fits your site and budget.
Handlers carrying out licensable security guarding duties need the appropriate Security Industry Authority (SIA) licence.
We arrange appropriately licensed personnel for licensable assignments and confirm the role before deployment.
Yes, if the Guard Dogs Act 1975 is followed. A handler must be present and in control of the dog at all times unless it is secured, and a warning notice must be displayed at each entrance to the site. We advise on signage as part of the site
review.
It can, if a site is close to homes. We look at neighbouring properties during the site review and plan routes and arrangements with that in mind. Please tell us about any nearby homes when you get in touch.
Handlers have no more legal powers than any member of the public. The team is there to deter, observe and report, and to call the police where needed. The dog stays under the handler’s control, and no one is expected to take unnecessary
risks
Contact us with your postcode, start time and required duties. We will check operational availability and tell you what can
realistically be arranged. We do not advertise a guaranteed response time.
Pricing depends on the number of dog and handler teams, hours of cover, site size, contract duration and any extra requirements. Request a quotation with your site details for an accurate proposal.
Tell us about the site you need to protect and the hours of cover you are considering. We will review your request and contact you to discuss the next steps.
