Kennel in Welling

“Max has returned from 4 days at red house kennels and is extremely happy. I was very nervous leaving Max, as he has a slightly nervy nature and I haven’t left him before. He has come back clean and very happy. Owners were also very nice and we will be using again for future breaks and holidays. Thanks so much for looking after Max and hope you both have a lovely Christmas.”

“Such a lovely lot of ladies who are really friendly. My dog Nellie is a nutter but she absolutely loves going to see them.”

“Just picked up my boy who has spent the last 10 days here. Just wanted to thank you all for his care. He seems to have loved it and enjoyed his stay. So thank you everyone. He’s a special boy like all our dogs are. He’s had a ruff first 10 months of his life so I was worried but I shouldn’t have been, so much so you’ll be seeing him again in April.”

“Excellent boarding kennels. Our family have used it since the 1960's. Have just picked our current 2 dogs up. They came home well fed, happy, and spotlessly clean. I cannot fault this boarding kennels.”

“Our doggy loves going to Birchwood kennels, she always goes in very happily and unlike other kennels we have sent her to, also comes out very happy, as well as smelling great thanks to the grooming service! The staff clearly love the dogs and I would highly recommend.”

“My husky stayed here for 7 days while i was away, the ladies at the kennel were amazing so caring and friendly and my dog immediately felt comfortable around them. My dog was well looked after and the groomer deshedded my dog before she came home which was very kind of them to do. Definitely recommend and will be using this kennel again. Thank you”

“Came for a viewing beforehand and I honestly wasn’t too sure, mainly with the length of time they’re alone overnight without access to outside - it seems like this might be standard practice in kennels though. BUT, it seems like he had a good time. It was my first time boarding my 8.5 year old dog (he’s done daycare and stayed overnight with sitters, just not kennels before). He ate his food which was a surprise, but a good sign. I chose Haytor because of the ability for him to play with other dogs. My dog is nervous with new people, but he gains confidence around other dogs. The drop off felt quite like I was being rushed a bit, but this could just be because they’re aiming to spend as much time as possible with the dogs. It would be great to see photos of them whilst there, through Instagram stories for example (although it seems super busy so that might not be possible). I emailed to check on him in the afternoon and got a response the following morning, which was fine. An option to drop off at the daycare time, if your dog is social, would be great too instead of just 10-12 or 2-5! Especially on a Saturday overnight as you do end up paying for two days for around 24 hours as there are no afternoon pickups on a Sunday, so a single sat to sun overnight comes out quite expensive that way, though I understand different kennels have different booking setups. Overall, my dog came back happy, he ate and although very glad to see me, didn’t seem too bothered by his stay. Would recommend to anyone who feels their dog would benefit in a kennel environment from having other dogs around them! Will use Haytor kennels again for my dog. Thanks for taking care of my boy! :)”

“I boarded my cat and dog with Oak Cottage Kennels & Cattery for the first time as our usual kennels and cattery were fully booked. I went to take a look and was very impressed by the very knowledgeable, professional and friendly staff. I could tell immediately that they put the welfare of the pets first. They were very good at explaining how the kennels work on a daily basis. I booked in two trial days for our Labrador and then both my cat and dog stayed for two weeks. I had very regular photos and it was obvious they were both enjoying their stay. I would like to thank everyone for looking after my pets in an exceptional manner. Harvey and Simba will definitely book again! A massive thank you to all !”

“Thank you very much to the kind person who suggested tripe for the fussy eater of a dog I was dog sitting. The dog went from not eating more that a handful to eating it’s meals straight away. You truly saved me from having a stressful Christmas and trying to hand feed a big dog!. Great friendly service. Would recommend. Thanks again.”

“I have used hillside kennels several times in the last 2 years... my dogs always seem pleased to see the staff and are in good health & spirits when i pick them up. The kennels is clean and tidy, staff are helpful & friendly and i know my dogs enjoy having a run in the large grass paddock..... Best boarding kennels i have used in this area ....”

“Friendly professional happy caring people who take great pleasure in looking after the dogs and cats and treat everyone of them as individuals. Can't praise them enough. Donny has been staying with them for the last 10 years and he is never unhappy about going in fact some times he is so excited about going we don't even get a goodbye.”

“Wow, wow, wow! I recently had the pleasure of boarding my Otterhound, Otti, at Weyfarm Boarding Kennels, Ottershaw, Chertsey, and I can’t express how thrilled I am with the experience! Initially, I was quite anxious about leaving him for two weeks, especially since I usually entrust his care to his original breeder. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, I needed to find a new place, but my worries quickly vanished once I found this gem. From the outset, the booking process was seamless. I appreciated being able to upload Otti's medical information and confirm his kennel cough vaccination, which made me feel more secure about his stay. I was genuinely nervous about leaving him without any prior trial run, but my concerns were unfounded. Upon arrival, I was impressed by how secure and well-managed the facility is. The staff were professional and willing to answer any questions I had, putting my mind at ease. Dropping Otti off was a breeze, and the entire process was remarkably smooth. Today, when I picked him up, I was greeted warmly and the check-out process was just as easy as check-in. To my delight, Otti was back in my arms within minutes! It was clear to me that he’d been well cared for and treated amazingly during his stay. I’m so grateful to have found a boarding place that prioritises quality and truly cares for the dogs entrusted to them. I’m already looking forward to booking again for next year! If you’re looking for a trustworthy kennel, I highly recommend Weyfarm Kennels. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my Otti! Sean”

“Harley has stayed here several times. It always amazes me how all the staff know all the dogs. It's the only place where she comes out so happy, giving affection to us for collecting her but importantly it's lovely to see how she interacts with the staff who clearly invest a lot of time while we're away and make a fuss. Couldn't recommend Pipwood highly enough!”

“Small Paw Adventures, run by Sam is just fantastic. Ozzy, my dog, has been going to Sam for day care since he was little, he’s now 2. He absolutely adores her and the time they have together. Last night he did his first sleepover in preparation for a holiday we have booked and Sam sent me messages and updated me. Sam is professional and kind, a winning combination when it comes to our fur babies. I trust her implicitly and feel total confidence to get on with my day, knowing he’s happy and safe! Thank you Sam, love Ozzy and Natalie xxx”

“My dog was a little reluctant on his first visit but ran towards the van on his second visit. He definitely enjoyed his visits and I received some lovely photos of him happy. Will definitely use their services again in the future and recommend them to other dogs owners.”

“Excellent grooming for my two dogs. On their first visit they were initially quite restless however they soon settled down. They actually enjoy their grooming sessions now. Mohammed is very precise about what time i should pick them up and is always ready when i arrive. Thank you Mohammed for your excellent service as always. The girls actually love their grooming sessions with you.”

“I highly recommend Acres 4 Dogs, they offer a very professional service. Our three spaniel puppies attend weekly, it’s been lovely to see them growing in confidence and becoming more comfortable travelling in our own car after using their pick up/drop off service. We love the little touches like the email updates, photos/video clips they provide.”

“Louise cared for our two pugs while we went on holiday. The dogs loved her could tell by the photos she sent me. I enjoyed my holiday without worry . I highly recommend louise to new clients she was outstanding.”

“Have become a repeat customer! Super happy with the service at Mutts n Moggies. We were recommended this cattery by our vets (Family Friends Vets) and they were not wrong about how great it is! My cat had his own pen, perfect given he is an indoor cat and used to being alone. The pen was super clean when I came to pick him up and he seemed content to stay there. Will definitely be using this cattery again! To take this beyond the 10/10 service offered, I would be really keen to see a discount for those with Family Friends Vets, or a reward system where the 8th visit or something is free. But honestly, it is a great service as is for cats :)”

“Been meaning to leave a review for a very long time, however managed to forget..probably due to the fantastic friendly service we always receive from the team. We are always welcomed with open arms and the team bend over backwards to accommodate us. I must shout out the whole team… they’re all amazing… however, Becks has served us since we first started coming here, since moving in locally, before Jason the Head Chef joined, she was the main reason for our return. Jason joined, the food has been out of this world… I would recommend the roasts - they’re delicious! The beef is served pink and the vegetables are cooked perfectly and well seasoned. It’s always a pleasure coming to visit The Black Horse and we cannot recommend it enough. Final shout out to Becks, Jason… our favourites… and of course Harry, Layla, Ben, Jess, Jack and Ollie. ❤️❤️❤️”
