Dog and Cat Boarding
By using our boarding service you will directly help us to care for hundreds of neglected, unwanted, stray and abandoned animals in your local area. All the proceeds made from our boarding service go straight back to the charity.
We have dedicated staff here at Gables Farm who have great passion for animal welfare and vast experience of working with dogs and cats, especially nervous animals with behavioural problems and/or special needs.
DOG BOARDING
Accommodation
All our kennels consist of an indoor heated sleeping area and a covered outdoor run.
We can supply beds, blankets, bowls, toys, treats and food. However if you would like to bring your own you are welcome to do so as this may help to settle your dog in.
During their stay your dog will have daily access to our activity paddock for off lead fun and frolics. They will also receive daily walks around our 11acre site.

Here are some comments from customers who have used our boarding service.
“We would just like to say that we boarded our Springer Radley with you and collected him today. We are very impressed with the service given. We have boarded him elsewhere and he was returned to us a miserable dog who took a while to bounce again and needed a bath. Today we returned to find a very waggy-tailed dog who has been looked after superbly, in fact so well he seemed almost reluctant to leave! He certainly didn't smell and was in fact possibly cleaner than when we left him with you! We will have no hesitation in leaving him with you in the future and would happily recommend you to anyone. Thank you for a great service”. Sue Oxley 31/01/10
"Thank you so much for looking
after Monty again. This was his 8th time boarding with you and it is wonderful
to leave him knowing that he will be looked after so well. Whether it is for 2
days or 2 weeks I always have complete peace of mind and there is nowhere else I
would want to leave him. The fact that he doesn't look back when I leave him
speaks volumes too!"
With thanks and best wishes Theresa Harris and Monty 09/04/10
"To all the staff at Gables Farm, thank you for looking after me so well. Love from Ty Philips" 17/05/10
