About Us
Kingfisher Animal Boarding, formerly known as DJ's Animal Boarding, offers a complete animal boarding service. Following a change in ownership in 2019, the new owners of the business are passionate about creating a stress-free, friendly and fun environment so that time with us is like a holiday for each and every animal. We are committed to ensuring that all of our visitors are stimulated, exercised, well fed and very carefully looked after. We are continually investing into facility improvements, training and new enrichment ideas to ensure that our guests’ stay is safe and enjoyable. As animal owners ourselves, we understand that every animal is a not just a number, but a valued member of your family who deserves care and attention at all times.
COVID-19
Business Update
As restrictions have eased, we are pleased to announce that we are once again open for business. In addition to overnight boarding, we now offer day boarding. Whilst overnight boarding prices can be found below, day boarding prices are dependent on hours and frequency, so please enquire for further details should you be interested in this option.
In order to protect our customers, guests and staff, in addition to our existing (and ongoing) Level 3 Kennel and Cattery Management qualifications, we have completed a number of training courses such as the Disease Controls for Pet Professionals (Pet Industry Federation).
In addition, we have implemented a number of control measures that we kindly ask visitors observe at all times:
Time slots of 30 minutes are now allocated to drop off/collect your pet.
On arrival please leave your pet in your vehicle and make your way to our office to complete paperwork / payment.
We are unable to accept cash at this present time, so please be prepared to pay by other means.
As always, please ensure to review the Vaccinations section below to ensure that your pet's vaccination status complies with regulatory rules before visiting.
Rest assured, whilst this seems like a lot of rules, we continue to engage with all our guests just as normal to ensure that every stay is both enjoyable and relaxing! Please do not hesitate to get in touch using our contact details or website form (both found below) if you have any further questions.
