Haven Boarding Kennels

"I have left my shy cocker spaniel with a few different kennels/minders and this is by far the best kennels out there. Claire and Fiona are so thoughtful and caring with all dogs that go stay with them and they have lovely facilities for the dogs and a lovely sized kennel; not too large so that your dog won’t be overwhelmed."

"Claire and staff are brilliant with the dogs. Highly recommended. Thank you!"

"Recently boarded my 12yr old Yorkie cross and 9yr old Shih Tzu cross for 2 nights at Haven boarding kennels. First time I have boarded them so was a bit nervous. However Fiona clearly loves the dogs under her care and made an effort to make friends with Izzie who is quite temperamental. When I came to collect them on Sunday evening both of them were in good form and Izzie was following Fiona around which is the best indicator for me that they enjoyed their time there. Will book again in future."

"Brilliant kennels. Our dog was so well looked after during his first time away in kennels. He's quite shy around new people but got on so well and made friends with everyone there. Thanks so much Fiona and Claire."

"We have a large dog who is more of a pack animal than a solitary one. Upon ringing to find out about availability, we were invited to come out for a tour. We were greeted by Fiona who showed us the area for the dogs, the play pen and more and were impressed by her genuine love of dogs and how clean and well run the kennels are. Some days later, we dropped our dog off to an equally enthusiastic Claire (apologies if that is misspelled!) who was very understanding of and flexible to our needs. Our dog was with them a number of days. I believe that the biggest tests of a kennel are how our dog behaves upon seeing me return to collect him and how he behaves at home for the following few days. Our dog was happy to see me for sure but was also happy to be around and petted by Fiona which I took as a great sign. On top of that, our dog adapted just fine back at home with no issues of concern. Because of the size and dynamic of the place and staff, this experience is partway between boarding at a house and boarding at a kennel. This is exactly what was best for our dog and the right balance of structure, routine and socialising - our dog made friends with an English Sheepdog and a Beagle. The cherry on the cake is that this is great value too. We highly recommend Haven Boarding Kennels and will definitely be using them again in the future. Also, a genuine thank you to Claire and Fiona for taking such good care of our dog! : )"
