I cannot praise Sheila and Matt enough. They looked after my two dogs and house as if they were their own and I returned to very contented dogs and a spotless house. It was my first experience of usiing zeewoi and it certainly will not be my last after this experience. I am just sorry that Sheila and Matt are too far away to house sit more often.
Flor and Fede are catsitters that anyone can wish for. Our babies were well taken care of, and they looked happy when we came back from our trip. We got a lot of photos and a progress report each day, and that made me feel calmer, knowing that everyone is doing well. I would always welcome Flor and Fede back to our home and would recommend them to everyone.
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?

I find it hard finding a suitable place I trust for my large working line German shepherd - I was let down by my usual kennel but these guys saved me! They understood the needs of a working dog of this nature and were amazing with him! They shared videos of him playing etc! And we’re really lovely people!! Despite being quite a lengthy drive for me these guys are now my kennel of choice! I’d rather drive the distance for quality and care than use any of the local ‘pet’ solutions! Thank you team!! Rex had a great time!
This may not be the fanciest of places but the care they give your pets is second to none. We visited another kennels before deciding which one to take our Rodney to, but the people won it over for us at Forest Animal Boarding. Rodney absolutely loves it there and it is great that they allow dogs to play together once they have been assessed for temperament. I cannot praise them highly enough. Thanks you everyone
The best boarding kennels ever! They take such good care of animals, we always know our pup is safe and happy with them. She loves it there. They share daily photos or videos too which is so lovely. 100/10.
Our gorgeous cat Maynard had a great stay here for a week, we definitely recommend it to anyone wanting peace of mind that their pets will be well taken care of. It was also nice to look out for photos of him in the private group whilst we were away and missing his lil face! He hasn’t even given us the cold shoulder since collecting him so he must have had a relaxed and happy stay :)
Excellent kennels, staff go above and beyond and treat your pets how they would treat there's. Nothing is to much. Great team. Videos are posted on there facebook page ,so you can see how your dogis. Excellent value for money, would highly recommend. Superb.
This family-run catterie was very accommodating for a last-minute emergency booking. They took him in and held him for us as we PCS'ed into the area, and are very reachable from the tri-base area. Very friendly, reasonably priced, and great to work with! I absolutely recommend them to anyone, especially if you're PCS'ing!
My Chico loves visiting here and we book way in advance to ensure we can get him in. The care, attention and affection given are as if he was one of their own family pets. The videos allow us to see him and put our minds at rest that he is happy. I cannot speak too highly of Forest Lodge. Rick, Jo and Lorraine are fantastic even when i am having panics over dates. Keep up the good work 👏🙌👍xx
I was so worried about my animals when I had to leave the UK before they could but when I dropped them off with Forest Animal Boarding all my worries left me. Their facility is so wonderful! Their staff is very thorough and so kind. I would recommend them to everyone!
Wouldn't trust anyone else with my animals! Rick, Lorraine, Jo and Mandy - the whole team... they really treat your animals like family. They celebrate successes, keep you updated on health or behaviour and give almost daily updates. They even brought our dogs to our wedding at no extra cost when we were married just down the road. My family has been using them for three years and can't imagine taking our pets anywhere else!!
Picked up our cat Buddy today after a week in the care of these wonderful people. He took a little while to settle but this didn't faze Lorraine and her team. With your prior agreement they post videos and photos of your pets on their Facebook page (private group) so you can see how they are. I would happily recommend them and Buddy is already booked for his next visit.
I do not recommend this place at all. I emailed them to ask if they have availability for both my pets (a dog and cat) in August 2024 and instead of telling me yes or no we have availability for your dog and cat - Mark replies to me and says “we don’t do cats try forest animal boarding” and so despite his short reply I asked about my dog and instead of providing dates or telling me they don’t have room during those dates, he insists that it’s better for me to book them together (said it was cheaper) and again told me to contact forest animal boarding. I’m honestly so annoyed but the lack of customer service from Mr. Mark and am glad that I can’t book with them, because their first impression leaves for wanting. You’re better off to take your pets to Forest Animal Boarding or Pine Kennels where employees are actually helpful and polite to potential customers.
I went to check the place to leave my dogter during a future holiday and they didn't even let us pass the fence. Obviously we didn't feel welcomed but they made us a couple of questions about our dog and we really wanted to see if this place had potential so we replied, they basically wanted to check if my dog was a good fit for this kennel and when we mentioned she gets separation anxiety they wanted to isolate her for the entire stay. They don't seem to have a lot of experience taking care of pets.
Hands down one of the best kennel experiences I’ve ever had. I have two dogs that shared a kennel for two weeks. It is very reassuring to know they would be walked twice and day and have an indoor/outdoor space to stay. The owner was very, very friendly and had a great process from taking and returning the dogs. The facility was clean and it was a very personable experience. I highly recommend this kennel to anyone going on holiday.
We've used Winterbrooke Boarding Kennels 5 times now - everytime the service has been great. We have 2 corgis and they both board together- they're walked every day multiple times and fed seperately (they don't eat together well). When first boarding, expect usual certifications of dog medications and such. Highly recommend!
Use these kennels regularly. Owners are very good and helpful and more importantly the dogs are well cared for at a reasonable price. Thoroughly recommend.
Had to book last minute and I was greeted by friendly service on the phone, and they were very understanding about my rescue dogs needs and they went above and beyond for her. The kennels are absolutely spotless and I got sent Facebook messages about how Rosie was doing and pictures of them out on walks. She is very happy upon pick up - will definitely use again :) highly recommended
Winterbrook thank you for taking great care of our two dogs Winston and dory. I highly recommend it they are so kind and the kennels are so clean and well kept.
Lovely people took our bulldog here last week came home so chilled.They really go out of their way for your dog. The lady even washed our dogs toys. Great experience and we've booked again. Brilliant .
Emailed them asking if they had room for our two dogs given it was short notice due to a family emergency, got an email back asking what breed and how long told them both cockapoos and just the one night, came back with a figure of £42. 00.. given their own website clearly states £21. 00 for two dogs sharing or at worst £11.50 per dog can only assume that they were trying to take advantage of my situation trying to find kennels at such short notice. Not impressed and certainly won't be recommending.
Good kennels for dogs my dog is lab and she loves it there , they get walked , can take your stuff there , it’s a working farm do lots of things for the dogs to smell and see , the owners are good , if hey can get your dog in they will , lots of positives about this place I have never had a problem and my dog is happy there , I think its fair rates as the lady will walk your dogs.
Terri, Tina and the team, have been absolutely fantastic, to my three dogs Luna, Gracie and Rosie. Who at short notice needed daycare, for a period of time. They had never experienced being away from me. They settled quickly and happily went off with them, full of kisses!! The hygiene and facilties are exceptional. They are truly devoted to animal welfare. Thank you so much. Will be using on a regular basis Xx
This is the only place we take our pets when we need boarding. It is family owned and operated and they are always kind and helpful. They are very good to our dogs and cats and are accommodating to their dietary needs as well. They also have a lot of space out back for the dogs to exercise. I highly recommend Meow Bow Wow for your pet boarding needs!
Really friendly owner-run dog kennels. We put our three dogs into doggy daycare with short notice and they were able to accommodate. The owner took the time to show us around, including where our dogs were going to stay. The dogs were allowed to run and play in a big paddock, which they loved and the staff made our oldest dog very comfortable. The dogs loved their stay, which is always a great sign. Thank you for looking after our dogs so well!
Our 16 month Vizsla has been going to doggy day care for 6 months and it’s the best decision I made, the owners are friendly and it’s clear they are experienced and knowledgeable about dogs, they have helped with training and offered lots of advice. They treat our dog as their own it’s obvious the love they have for dogs! The staff are fantastic and most importantly our dog is so excited to greet them in the morning! I wouldn’t trust anyone else with our 4 legged best friend.
Our pooch had a fantastic day. Such a warm welcome, he was playing straight away. The owner and helper have great knowledge and enthusiasm and were just lovely. The kennels are spotlessly clean and well kept. Thank you and see you again!
This was my dog's first stay in kennels and I can tell he was very well looked after. He seemed completely happy and content when I picked him up and the owners obviously care deeply about the dogs staying with them.
Very friendly and welcoming! My pup is always excited when we pull up to Meow Bow Wow, which shows how happy she is there! When I pick her up after day care she is exhausted from all the walks and playtime she has had. Lovely people, who put the dogs care first
Went with my family to collect two very happy and well looked after dogs. (German Shepherd and golden retriever) Highly recommend
Terry and Phillip have been fantastic with Charlie since day one. Charlie always loves to go to day care and gets excited as soon as we get in the car to drop him off and always sleeps as soon as hes home in the evenings. I feel relaxed knowing that he's isn't home alone and getting all the love and attention he needs while I am at work. I cannot thank you enough for giving my fur baby love, playtime and attention and I highly recommend them to anyone. You guys are amazing
My dog Layla stayed here on multiple occasions. She was always so happy when we pulled up. The staff were amazing and made us feel comfortable leaving our baby there. I have never found another kennel that even comes close to the service this kennel provides.
Carol is brilliant. She works with you and has great attention to detail wanting to know daily routines and patterns so that your pet is completely catered for. I felt at ease being away knowing my dog was being looked after. I even got regular updates and photos. I would never hesitate to use Stellar Pet Care and neither would my dog!
We've used these kennels multiple times. I've always found the management friendly and professional. They take good care of our dogs and I feel confident that they're delivering more than they promise.
We've taken our dogs to Church Farm for the last few years for both short and long stays, and they've always come home happy and healthy. They thrive under the care of Mark and the rest of the team and even our nervous dog thoroughly enjoys her time getting fussed and exercised to her heart's content! I happily recommend Church Farm to all my friends needing dog boarding - it's so important to know my dogs are safe and secure whenever I need to go away.
Beautiful premises and pet loving staff. My girl loves her visits here. She comes home happy and smelling clean! This business deserves 5stars! Thank you church farm
Awesome place to take your dogs. Been to other boarding places and they weren't as reasonable or clean. Plus my dogs love the staff and get very excited when we pull into their parking lot. We will differently continue to take our fur babies to church farm boarding.
We have used Church Farm Kennels over several years for our dogs and highly recommended Mark and the team. Both of our dogs are relaxed, happy and healthy following their stay and have clearly been well cared for.
I've been taking my dogs here for 12 years they always take care of them and treat them very well. Even though I have moved 30 miles away I still have to board my dogs.
We've used these kennels twice now, for 9 and 14 days. It's such a nice surprise to collect happy clean dogs after getting back from holiday. Other kennels we have used we've had to wash the dogs as soon as we get home, but they are clearly well taken care of at church farm.
We have used Church Farm for years now and love it after every visit. They are always responsive to my many check-ins on our pup during our holidays. I feel very comfortable leaving our elderly dog in their care.
We have been going here for the past three years with our two dogs and cat! Our animals are always well taken care of during their stay at church farm. They were extremely flexible and helpful when I called last minute for emergencies. (Always call in advance because they do book up) It was the last time taking our dogs here over the weekend and the boy who always watches them teared up saying goodbye. It was so touching to know that they love my dogs just as much as I do. They get all their energy out by playing with them. Not only do they love our pets, the facilities are extremely clean and warm in the winter. I highly recommend leaving your pets at this lovely boarding kennel!
Cannot recommend this place enough! They always take special, personal care of our pup, and they always make room for him. We even forgot food once and they had us covered. We always book with them no matter what, even though it’s not the closest.
Teddy is our young labrador. He's been going to the Guest House for Dogs since last summer. He's been several times- a few days at a time, as we go away to places we can't take him. Teddy is very much a part of our family, so if we go somewhere he can't come too, it's very important to us that he goes somewhere he can be happy as well. I'd grown up with a dog who went into kennels when we went away, and it was clear that he didn't like it. We hated it (but there were fewer choices back then). At the guest house, Teddy gets to stay in a real house, filled with a real family. He's good with other dogs, so although he's the only dog when he's at home, he seems to enjoy other doggy company when he's there. He gets to spend lots of time outside, and at bedtime he's in a house, with his own cushion from home. The guest house is well run, with a good, strong dog-friendly philosophy.
Our dog was well looked after and seemed happy. We picked him up in good condition (clean and lovely soft coat) and Martine is always friendly and gives a quick update on his stay.
Our dogs have stayed with Martine many times and absolutely love it! They have so much fun playing with the other dogs and Martine cares for them like they are her own. I would highly recommend burwell pet sitters to anyone! Stress free, friendly dog boarding 😊 …
A great alternative to boarding kennels. Our dog was lovingly cared for in a home environment and he arrived home stress free and I'm sure he loved his time with the other canine members of the family.
A great alternative to outdoor kennels. We were far happier leaving our dogs here than some of the other options we looked at. Would recommend to anyone.
5 star service. Fun, safe environment for all dogs, Fred never wants to come home. Martine is helpful and accommodating, couldn't recommend this place enough!!
My dog stays 4 or 5 times a year she's always happy to go and I love seeing photos of her while I'm away
Ur dogs get looked after like one of the family and by someone who loves them as much as u do
Very loving professional doggie hotel
Fantastic kennels and staff. Have used multiple times from 2 nights up to 4 weeks. Never any issues. Our dog always comes back with his tail wagging.
I was so nervous to have my dog go somewhere as I hadn't left her before , however I couldn't have asked for somewhere better for her to go , absolutely will be using this service again ! Super professional super helpful . My pippa went in wagging and happy and come out wagging and happy 😊 …
Brilliant kennels! We've just picked our Whippets up and they are bouncing, happy & healthy. Honestly, I was really anxious to put them in kennels, but they've had a great time and I needn't have worried at all. The owners are just lovely, really kind & knowledgeable, and looked after the dogs so well. Good value and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again, especially as they have sighthounds themselves 😊 Highly recommended!
Pine farm is an exceptional crew who took wonderful care of our pets amidst moving back to the US. They allowed us to visit our cats while they were being boarded so they didn't think we had a abandoned them due to our living arrangements at the time. The team was beyond friendly and the prices were extremely reasonable. Thank you for your help and services!
I think we were more anxious than our 2 dogs going in to kennels together for the first time at the end of May. Needn't have worried as they both settled into their shared kennel and had a wonderful experience. Really well looked after for the 3 days - very nice and professional staff. Will definitely use them again - infact Maple and Belle are insisting on it!! Thank you!
I love kenneling my dogs here because I feel safe leaving my dogs there, they feel safe ahile there, and the lovely people working there understand some of the issues and special things that make my dogs who they are. I also like that I am able to donate toys or dog items that no longer fit that they can either use the items or donate to rescues.
Charlie our 15 year old Springer has had many stays at Pinefarm and is always looked after very, very well. Due to his age, they really do care for him and always make sure he has a kennel in a quiet area. Thank you to all the staff for looking after him so well. 😁 …
The dogs always come home from a stay at Pine Farm Kennels happy and look as good as when we drop them off Would highly recommend
Took the best care of my Sammy girl! I was very anxious leaving her for several weeks as she can have a lot of anxiety in new places with new people but they took such great care of her. She came home happy and healthy and we will definitely book again with them for our future needs!
Craig and Nadine and the team are great. Been going around 3 years. Fair price and dogs are well looked after.
Absolutely fantastic and professional services. My dog loved the team and the care given. He went bananas as soon as we drove near the building and didn't look back when I dropped him off. I can also say that I received the most honest, and heartfelt feedback that was 100% focused on my dog and my family. Coming from the background of a military dog handler, practical training assistant, and kennel manager I can whole heartedly voucher for Gina and her team. 5 star ⭐
We’ve known Gina for about a year now and ever since she’s been absolutely outstanding with Stanlee. He’s a baths!t crazy 3 year old Staffie and she’s fantastic with him. He’s been going to K9 Retreat Center weekly since the week it opened and we now can’t say “Gina” without him getting super excited. Living with a dog that just doesn’t stop, K9 Retreat Center is easily the best £30 I spend all week as it ensures we don’t hear a peep out of him for the next few days!! (Photo evidence taken 15 minutes after getting home) We are so happy with daycare and couldn’t recommend it highly enough, Stanlee is in great hands and probably treated better there than he is at home!!! 😂
Gina and her team at K9 Retreat have been so patient and helpful with my Little rescue dog who's very nervous around other dogs. to see him play with other dogs without a muzzle on was fantastic and heart warming,if I could give 10 stars I would,I wouldn't hesitate in recommending K9 retreat for socialisation, day care,any behaviour issues and doggy holiday's
Oh my goodness, I cannot say enough food things about K9 Retreat. They are absolutely amazing. I have 2 rescue dogs and they have always gone above and beyond with caring for and working with them. They are so kind to everyone who walks through the door and keep you updated with how your dog(s) are doing. Personally, I have had times where my dogs are behaving so good and some days where they are acting out and in the times they are being naughty, they are wonderful about letting you know and staying with them making them feel comfortable if it's too much for the dog that day. I love how they understand that dogs have emotions and good days and bad days and always talk so kindly about the dogs even on the rough days. I absolutely 💯 recommend K9 retreat. ☺️
I couldn't be more happy to leave my dog in the care of Gina and her team at the K9 Retreat Center; something that doesn't come easy to me! I have a large breed that can be and is often misunderstood by others. Gina welcomed us for a meet & greet session where she did the only thing I could have asked and looked at the dog in front of her with no pre-judgement. Since then, my dog has got so much out of being there only a few times...she's made tonnes of doggy friends, she's calm, content and much less harder work at home. I'm very impressed with the setup and the facility as well as all the fab people there. I'd highly recommend getting in touch with them and going along to a meet & greet.
Fantastic facility, you can tell real thoughts gone into it along with a genuine passion.
Fantastic service, very happy place for dogs
