Robbie did two sits with Bianca, and he's been great. Super reliable, tidy, and caring with Bianca. Fully recommend Robbie as a trusted sitter, and look forward to collaborate again. 10/10.
If there were room for more stars I would add them. I need to know that my pets and home are well cared for. Shelley was wonderful, accommodating and kept in touch. Came home to a very tidy house. Highly recommend and definitely added to favourites. Thx so much

Just picked up Our George from the pet joint after his 10 night stay (Holiday) Bathed And Groomed smelling Lovely He absolutely Loves his stay there with Meg and family Lovely photos to update his stay Absolutely peace of mind that your pet is in his element whilst On our holiday Highly recommended Massive thanks again Meg
Great place for your pets to go whilst you are away. The owner, Meg lives and breaths her charges. We've booked out cat Wellington in for two stays this year and another in Jan 2024. Pre booking visits are actively encouraged so you can have a look round before booking.
Meg looked after our lovely boy for a month whilst we relocated to North Wales. Meg was helpful, caring and kind, fitting in and changing dates as required. Meg's cat hotel is a cattery on another level of cat luxury, so I have no hesitation in saying that this is the best service I have seen for pet boarding. Five star review for a five star service.
Absolutely lovely place took such good care of my fur baby, while me and hubby celebrated our wedding anniversary! High recommend! And my boy loved having his own holiday to make new friends.
A big thank you to The Pet Joint for looking after Pig so well while we were away. He clearly had a fab time watching fish tv, chilling on the chaise longue and watching the birds outside. A lovely touch having photos posted on Facebook (it is if you’re crazy cat people like us 🤣). Great communication and clearly so much care in what they do. Would highly recommend for cats, dogs and small animals 💕
Our lively labrador stayed with steve and meg and their canine companions while we got married and went on honeymoon. Not only did they go the extra mile by offering a chaperone service so our boy could be at the wedding they thoroughly looked after him while we were away. The daily updates of photographs of him enjoying his dog holiday put our mind at ease, he was not missing us too much. So much so that it almost looked like he was far more interested in where his canine pals where when we picked him up. I would use and reccomend the pet joint again and again. Thank you, Steve and Meg.
What can I say? I chose The Pet Joint after asking on FB for recommendations as I wasn't from the area. Originally booked in for a few days, our Puffle ended up staying for three weeks due to a stressful and uncertain house move. I never once felt like an imposition & was continually told by Meg that it didn't matter and Puffle would be welcome to stay as long as necessary. Meg is an absolute credit to petcare and I am in no doubt that she treats all her charges as if they were her own. I wouldn't hesitate to use The Pet Joint again. Thank you so much 🤗
We booked our two cats and dog in for a short break at Pet Joint and were suitably impressed. The care and attention was second to none and the rooms and furnishings were really luxurious. Our little ones enjoyed the experience and arrived back with glowing coats and lots of new friends. Definitely worth considering if you love your pet and want them to enjoy a home away from home! Rich Eccles
Meg and Steve provide a first-rate, top quality, dog boarding service. Like other dog owners who won’t use kennels, we searched for ages for a suitable alternative for our dog and found it at The Pet Joint. Set in gorgeous North Wales countryside, the dogs have large grounds in which to exercise, sleep in their own, very spacious, rooms and have round-the-clock professional care and attention. Highly recommended.
Meg's a trusting and caring pet mum. She took great care of Roger recently, really efficient arrangements and lovely, kindly approach. Would most def. Reccomend.
My dog Cosmos, loves Caroline. When we went on holiday for two weeks, he was walked twice a day, fed and watered. It made such a difference to come home to a happy dog. Will always use Caroline, too look after my big dog Cosmos xx
Caroline is a caring and reliable person and is extremely flexible around my shift work. Caroline has walked Alffi for approx 3 months and he has taken well to her, she will always let me know if there are any issues and is always helpful around sharing tips. We are very lucky to have caroline.
Caroline is very reliable and flexible, always fitting in with my ever changing plans. Most importantly she cares very much about the welfare of my dog.
I used CP Pet services for the first time and both my dog and I loved the service given. On Initially enquiry i was informed of exactly what services were offered, these suited my requirements. Prices are very reasonable and I can't reccomend Caroline enough.
Caroline is always hard working and puts the customer and the Pets first, the pets safety, happiness and welfare is always her priority, Highly recommend!!!
Highly recommend Caroline, she looks after my 2 dogs every week, shes on time week in week out lovely polite lady, thank you so much.... the dogs love you ❤️👍👍👍
Went on holiday and Caroline walked my dogs while I was away, did a great job and the dogs where really well looked after
Gary and his kennels are exceptional. He goes above and beyond care and love for the dogs and the kennels are 5 star hotels. Fully recommend his services and kennels. A good and caring organisation who put the animals and their care first. This includes meals.
Pup always returns happy and the same weight - not been the case at other kennels. The couple that run it are lovely.
Dropped our 3 dogs off the day before my wedding. My little 5 year old daughter was excited to see the kennels etc, the woman owner was very rude and abrupt with her. She simply wanted to stand next to me whilst I signed the forms (strange place etc), but the woman said "can you get your daughter out of the office please, it's not big enough..." It's a shed! Her and her husband were in there, me and my little hip height 5 yr old in the doorway! Didn't really make much difference. Anyway, that immediately put me on high alert. When we took the dogs to their kennel there were many other dogs in kennels all barking constantly. Most of them looked dirty and dishevelled, certainly didn't look happy! I very reluctantly left my 3 dogs there (mainly because I had to get to the hotel to sort wedding stuff and I knew everywhere else was booked up. I was then at the kennels by 08.30am the morning after my wedding to pick them up because I was that worried about them! Now, normally my dogs are extremely well behaved and do not pull on the lead, one of them walks to heal whenever we are out and doesn't need a lead. But when I collected them, all 3 practically pulled me off my feet to get to the car. Each kennel is just a concrete block with a metal gate. I call it Prisoner Cell Block H. Trust me, if you love your dog, don't leave them here!
I have just collected my boy from the lovely people at gatehouse kennels after our holiday. Easy drop off and pick up. Didn't look like he wanted to come home. Will definitely recommend to anyone who asks. He is so tired which tells me he's been very active as he has so much energy usually. Thank you so much. We would definitely use again.
This was the first time we have used the kennels. Our dog has often come home from previous kennels, very smelly from disinfectant and has put on weight. We picked him up and his coat was very glossy - he had not put weight on and did not smell. The owners are obviously real dog people who look after the dogs well. Thank you.
My dog was injured within half an hour of arriving, meaning she had to be taken to the vets. She had torn one of the front pads and nail completely free of the paw and subsequently we discovered she had a back injury. Her treatment cost just under £1000, she’s never fully recovered and we had to postpone travel. The owners refused to speak to me and lied about the circumstances. Be very careful leaving your pet here.
I only take Toby here Alan and Sara look after him so well and he s not easy being a tipical terrior he has regular walk s and is always happy to go and stay i would recommend the gatehouse kennels to anyone who is looking for somewhere to board they're dog
Our 2 greyhounds stayed here recently and were well and happy when we picked them up.. They were very well cared for and we would definitely board them here again. Many thanks Gatehouse Kennels
Daisy and Bonnie Beagle had a wonderful week staying here. They would like to give a 4 paw high five star review and thank Alan for taking such good care of them 🐶 …
The most friendly and safe kennels. A great place to holiday your dog while you're staying on the island.
What a lovely place to take your dog . Gary looks after the dogs like they are his own . We had a medical emergency with our dog and if it wasn’t for Gary’s wealth of experience looking after animals our dog would have died. He took our dog over 60 miles to have her treated in the emergency vets and even paid out of his own pocket. If you want your pets looked after in a lovely setting and the wealth of experience he and his staff have don’t hesitate to use these boarding kennels . Thank to Gary and his staff we are so grateful to you all .
Piper stayed at Bodowen for a week in September. Can't thank Gary and Team enough for the way they looked after her. Was always kept up to date and sent WhatsApp videos so I knew my girl was OK and happy 💕 …
We have used these kennels a couple of times for short stays but have just had to put Oscar in for nearly two weeks. We were dreading leaving him for so long but he has loved it. When I dropped him off he jumped all over Gary like a long lost friend. Always a good sign 👍 …
Gary has been absolutely wonderful and a star looking after our boy Jasper 🐶 We had a really lovely update video, he was so content and very happy in the care of Gary at Bodowen Luxuary Boarding Kennels. The facilities are fantastic! Gary is very understanding, knowledgeable and passionate for the animals in his care. We are so thankful and would definitely recommend these kennels. Our move wouldn’t have been possible without Gary, thank you so very much! 🐾❤️ x
Wonderful kennels. Our Greyhound Donny was very happy there. We were happy with the kennels and care Donny received. Thank you 🐾🐾 …
Excellent facilities, very clean, and amazing rooms. Gary is full of knowledge and passion for dogs, his care and understanding is second to none. We had a lovely update video of our dog whilst he was staying at Bodowen during our house move.... this isnt a Boarding Kennels its a luxury 5* Hotel!
Our loony 18 month old Goldie had a great stay! Gary & his wife were very welcoming It's obvious Gary knows & loves dogs..no hesitation in recommending Bodowen!
5* Dog Care 😍 Bodowen recently looked after our beautiful Jet whilst we were on a family holiday. We were invited in to see the kennels beforehand and, Jet spent a fantastic settling-in day in doggy daycare to familoarise herself with the place and staff and, likewise, them with her. Jet was excited upon returning to Bodowen for her own doggy holiday and settled in straight away. She had her own kennel with a television, a bed (we took her blankets to make her feel comfortable), a sofa and heating. The kennels are top notch, with a fantastic round the clock care system and timed exercise regime for all the dogs. With plenty of room for them to play safely whilst ensuring they are all enjoying time outside. I had noted I was a little anxious leaving her as, when using a previous place for boarding, jet had returned home nervous and stopped eating and I just wanted for her to be cared for like we would. I needn't have worried at all 🤗. We received videos, photos and messages about Jet the whole time we were away, which I really appreciated. Jet returned home as she had gone to Bodowen: relaxed, happy and eating like a champ! Couldn't have asked for better care of her, a doggy home from home 😁. I would recommend Bodowen to anyone looking for top care for their four legged family members when they need it. Thank you again to Bodowen staff ❤️ Jet misses you already 🐾 x x x
My dog Ralf has been attending Bodowen Boarding Kennels since he was 14 weeks old and goes regularly. He is now 8 months old. Gary is absolutely amazing with him. Ralf is always so excited to see Gary and enjoys going there. Ralf is happy when he goes and happy when we go back to collect him. Gary has the Ralf's interest at heart and the whole team are amazing with him. We get sent videos and messages on our request but to be truthful I k ow that Ralf is being well looked after. I fully recommend Gary and team.
Was really pleased with the care our dogs received while we were away. We had regular communication from Gary that put our minds at ease. The kennels are very clean and true to its name… luxury kennels! Will definitely use them again and have no hesitation in recommending them to others.
Our cat was well cared for but sadly was in an unit that had no windows!.As we were away for 4 weeks it was a long time to be confined in a space with no view.I felt guilty as she loves being outside and sitting in the window .
Girlfriends dog has gone in a few times now (milo the border collie) and the people who run it are lovely. I think milo enjoys it more than he should. Always the go to place.
Absolutely brilliant kennels. Cannot stress enough how wonderful the staff are. We wouldn't take our dogs anywhere else. Recommend wholeheartedly.
Great place and staff are amazing, really genuinely care for each animal who stays with them. One lady even took time and sat with my dog to help him settle in (has separation anxiety). Fair price and comforting knowing they're being well looked after away from home!
Left our cat Pingu with them for a week and asked if they were okay giving him his medication and left them instructions on how to give them to him, to which they said yes they were fine with it. It's the second time we've left Pingu with them and on both occasions he has come back very well taken care of, well fed and very happy. The cats are kept in a separate, quiet and enclosed building so not even the escape artist cats can get out and the build is far enough from the dogs to not cause any discomfort or unwanted stress to the cats. The staff visit them regularly and play with them and they are lovely. We will be using them again in the future and would highly recommend bringing your furbabies here knowing they will be in safe hands with people who love animals.
Not been on holiday for 3 years so I was astounded at the attitude of the team. I left a message that they didn't respond to so phoned again. I was told they had a whole new team, that they had received my message and discussed it and decided to refuse to kennel my 2 dogs as they had done many times before. Apparently, they didn't trust one of them to not bite the staff even though that had never happened. One of my dogs is a barker and is nervous but she's never attacked or bitten or even growled at anyone. They were Kenneled there for 4 months when I had a broken hip and the staff were great then. Professional service? Not any more! Seems to me that their whole new team of staff can't deal with anything other than a lap dog. I wouldn't trust that these people know what they're doing supposedly looking after your pets.
Really friendly and helpful staff, Sam has been to other kennels by far Aber falls is the best yet. Sam is happy, clean and healthy comming from there 👌👌 …
Always a excellent service. Friendly and welcoming. I know my dog Bentley is always looked after here and the kennels are clean and tidy. They also walk the dogs and play with the dogs. I recommend to everyone.
We use these kennels on a regular basis, ideally locked next to Aber Falls junction on A55. Very friendly staff who are very passionate about their customers pets, we leave our girls here knowing that they will be well cared for until we return to pick them up.
Been using the kennels for years for both long and short term visits. For our dogs and cats , warm friendly staff who obviously love what they do . Highly recommend Aber fall s for dogs or cats !
Pumpkin loves coming here, they’re like her second family. I couldn’t recommend them enough, they care for Pumpkin like she’s their own.
This is a brilliant doggy daycare. The dogs are truly loved and cared for by the owners. Photos are sent to assure you what a brilliant time the dogs are having. They are super flexible and prices very reasonable. Would definitely recommend! 5🌟 …
What an amazing service! Bruno had such a great day being well looked after and playing with Donut. It gave us real peace of mind knowing he would be well cared for and we felt we could really trust them. A real selling point was that they picked him up and dropped him home which was one less thing to worry about on a hectic day. I’ll definitely use them again and will be recommending this to all of my friends.
First visit today for my cockerpoo, Dexter, to play with Donut....lovely warm welcome from Mark and Carys and Donut with his entourage!! Really happy with the service provided. Photos and video sent during the day of Dexter having a fab time running free in complete safety. He's one very tired doggy tonight...that's got to be a first!!! Thanks for today guys...see you again very soon.
I can’t rate Donuts highly enough. They were so patient with my nervous dog having her for short visits while she became more comfortable. It’s a joy to see her running in excited to be with them.
Can't recommend enough, I was worried at how one of my dogs would cope, Cary's took this on board and had no worries. Both Carys and Mark made us feel relaxed and comfortable knowing the dogs would be secure, warm and knackered from playing with Donut.
Very impressed with how professional this is. Lots of space for the dogs. Knowledgeable owners. Really appreciated the time given for us to get to know the place.
It's purely and simply doggy heaven a real home from home.
Very helpful and they love dogs very much. Our dog loves going and she has a wonderful time.
Both my dogs absolutely love going!!
First visit to check out for Daosy, we were very impressed and will return.
I wouldn't send my dogs anywhere else. Very kind and professional service. Spotlessly clean and great facilities. My dogs get excited about going.
When I picked my 3 dogs up this morning, they seemed happy, alert and non stressed. A very nice and safe to board my dogs.
Deborah and her husband are lovely couples. They take care of animals like dogs, cats. They also have a horses too. I have used the cattery and dogs for over 30 years.
Thank you so much to Debs for looking after Goldie for two weeks whilst we went off adventuring. Goldie had a super time, she was so happy upon collection and Debs made it easy for us to to drop her off with her lovely nature. My young daughter was really upset about having to leave Goldie in kennels and was quite upset but with a big hug from Debs and photos throughout our holiday it was all made better. Thank you so much for your kindness and your attentiveness. We will definitely be bringing Goldie back when we next go on holiday! If you’re in the area and need a kennel then look no further, this place is an absolute gem!
Our Rottie had a good time at these kennels, her tail was up on collection and she was clean. We would definitely use these kennels again. Debbie was very friendly and welcoming on arrival and collection.
Thank you so much for taking care of Nina, she's a family member. not easy to leave Nina but the way you deal with Nina makes me feel that she is a member of your family to, thank you very much. Miguel
My dogs Oscar and Bonnie stayed for a couple of nights, top service. You can just tell that Debbie and Mal love dogs, mine were so well cared for. I’ll definitely be taking my dogs here for their holidays again!
Our very nervous Lurcher Pippin stayed for a month with Debs and Mal and he was so well looked after that I had no worries at all. Debs was so kind and gentle with him and he came home very happy and healthy. I would always be more than happy to leave my pets in their care and cannot recommend their kennels enough! Thankyou again **
Debbie and Malcom are wonderful people. They truly love their animals and all visitors who stay over. Our two dogs love going there. Recommend this place for a happy stay for your 4 legged friends 😊
Just collected our three (two cats and a dog) from Debbie, after another excellent visit. The furries always come home happy and healthy, and from the time I drop them off to the time I pick them up, I know they're in good hands.
Felt so sad to leave my boy as we’ve been stuck to each other since we got him (just before lockdown). Soon as I arrived I felt happy to leave him with Debbie as she was so reassuring and clicked with my boy the moment we got there. So please with the service and will defiantly use Debbie again. Thank you both so so much!
Cat came home very stressed. My cat was left in its carrying box when I arrived at 9-30 to collect her its fortunate that I arrived to collect her at that time. Had I arrived at 10-30 I dread to think what state she would have been in. Will never use in future very poor practice.
Thank you for your 5-star review which is very much appreciated. Sarah
My Puppy came to stay for the week and as it was the first time leaving him we were quite nervous. But when we arrived at Elna's the handover went smoothly and I was instantly put at ease. Very lovely people and we had a pupdate in the week to let us know how he was getting along and some photos and a video of him exploring. He had a lovely stay and will be back again on our next holiday. Really can't explain how lovely they are at Elna's. Thank you for keeping Louie safe and happy while we were away.
I can't recommend Elna Kennels highly enough. They are superb and it's a shame they're not on my doorstep. Henry spent two weeks with Jo and Rick and he had a wonderful time. We were holidaying in the area and were able to pick Henry up for day trips, but when we returned in the evening he greeted Jo and Rick like family. They really settled him in well and we really appreciated the photos and videos on those days when we were not able to take him out. Thanks so much!
My two dogs absolutely loved Elna kennels!! They were so well cared for and actually came home better behaved!! Lovely owners and would highly recommend. Thank you so much 😊 …
Great place to leave your dog for the during day if you want to leave them somewhere safe. Left our puppy with them so we could do a some holiday activities dog free. Our puppy loved it there.
From the moment we entrusted our beloved Hunto to Elna Dog Boarding Kennel, owned by the wonderful duo, Richard and Jo, we knew we had made the right choice. Entrusting your furry family member to someone for nearly a month is no small decision, but Richard and Jo made the process seamless and filled with peace of mind. Throughout Hunto’s stay, we were continuously updated with pictures and videos that not only showcased the fun and care he was receiving but also eased any worries of separation. These updates were a testament to the personal and loving approach Elna Dog Boarding Kennel takes with each pet under their care. It’s clear they don’t just watch over your pets; they welcome them into their hearts and home. What truly sets Elna Dog Boarding Kennel apart is the genuine affection and effort Richard and Jo put into every aspect of their service. Their facility is not just a kennel; it’s a haven where pets are nurtured, engaged, and loved. Our Hunto returned to us happy, healthy, and, remarkably, with a new set of friends whom he clearly misses. The proof of his attachment came unexpectedly when he excitedly wagged his tail upon seeing someone who reminded him of Richard. This moment spoke volumes about the positive impact Richard and Jo had on him. For their exceptional care, outstanding communication, and the undeniable bond they formed with Hunto, we wholeheartedly recommend Elna Dog Boarding Kennel to any pet owner seeking a trustworthy and loving place for their pet. Richard and Jo exemplify the best in pet care, going above and beyond to ensure both the pets and their owners are comfortable and happy. A heartfelt thank you to Elna Dog Boarding Kennel for not just taking care of Hunto, but for making him feel loved and part of your family. Your dedication and amazing work are truly appreciated. Lovely people making a significant difference in the world of pet care – we can’t thank you enough! P.S. Almost forgetting to write this review until Hunto’s joyful reaction to a Richard look-alike is a testament to the beautiful memories and bonds formed at Elna Dog Boarding Kennel. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for everything.
Our 10 month old Beagle had a 5 night stay here with Richard, Jo and team in February and it really is a home from home. They took their time during the initial handover process and ensured our dog felt relaxed as we departed, which resulted in a seamless and stress free transition for everyone. What was really reassuring was that when we picked her up upon our return, our dog wasn’t bothered about coming home with us which speaks volumes about the positive experience she had during her stay. We’d recommend this placement to anyone, and we’ve already booked her in for a return stay in the summer. We feel very fortunate to have found Elna’s.
I arrived in the area a year ago and was thrilled to discover Elna dog boarding kennels. I have owned dogs for most of my life and often dropping a dog off at the kennels can be quite upsetting as you can see your dog doesn't want to be left. Not so with Elna, when I drive into the parking area I can see my pointer recognising where we are and his tail immediately starts to wag, so these five stars are from Logan. Oh and Jo and Richard are really nice people too and genuinely care about dogs.
This was our 8 month old labs first night away from us all so we wanted to find somewhere nice for her to stay. All the reviews were great and when we arrived the owners Rick and Jo were so good with Luna who was a little nervous at first. They took the time to show us around and introduce us to all the other dogs and show us where Luna would be sleeping. They didn't rush and by the time we left Luna was already starting to settle in very nicely. They took her for lots of walks and treated her so lovely. Very happy and would definitely book Luna in again.
Lovely kennels. Our sheep dog who’s only young loved staying here for the weekend. She was well looked after, walked often and loved being in the company of other dogs. The owners Rick and Jo were so kind to her, we were often updated by them with photos and txts. She’s already booked in for her next stay. Highly recommend to anyone especially if you’re like me reluctant to put their dog in kennels! But after her first time there I’m so glad I did her reaction said it all. Xxx
If I could put 6 stars I would. I cannot express just how happy we are with the care and attention our dog Pippin received at Elna Kennels. Pippin stayed at Elna Kennels for a week while we went on holiday, we dropped her off and the kennels were very clean, a lovely enclosed area for the dogs to run around off the lead and fields and fields for walks and sniffing out rabbits! The owners were extremely welcoming and knowledgeable. Pippin can bark at new people being a neurotic collie but happily went off with Richard without a second glance at us! Highly recommend, fabulous place and owners who know dogs. Thank you
