Welcome to Ladybird Kennels & Cattery

It is never easy to leave your pets behind when you go away on holiday or out of town on business. That is why we go the extra mile here at Ladybird to give your pet a resort-style experience. We know you will feel better about your time apart when you are confident that caring professionals are looking after your pet. Our carers will closely monitor your pet to ensure their health and safety, and make certain they enjoy playtime and regular exercise. A complimentary brush through service is given to all residential guests and if you wish, we can also bath your dog (prices on request).

For pet owners looking for kennel or cattery accommodation for their pets holiday, we recommend a visit to Ladybird – a member of our team will be happy to show you around. No need for an appointment, just turn up at any time during opening hours.

What Our Customers Say

My two Cat Grace and Zeus stayed for a week with Ladybird Cattery. They were clearly well cared for. They had everything covered for us and the price included all their food for the week which is great. I highly recommend Ladybird Kennels and Cattery.

Our 3 dogs and 5 cats stayed here at the beginning of January for a week. I was extremely nervous about leaving them but they were so well looked after. They truly seemed to have a lovely time and although happy to see us when we got back they certainly weren’t desperate to leave the lovely ladies looking after them. It was such an amazing relief to see that they were treated so wonderfully and we really enjoyed seeing the photos and videos posted on Facebook whilst we were away. We’ve already booked them in for our next time away and although I’ll miss them it will be good to know they are in such safe and gentle hands.

We only trust the caring staff here to look after our 1 year old sprocker. They give him plenty of cuddles and exercise as well as care for his grain free diet. Coco comes home so happy after his stays, they are amazing x

100% recommend it here, our dog Bert gets so excited as we enter the gates of ladybird and cry’s to get out of the car, when he sees the amazing staff here his tail is wagging ten to the dozen and he can’t wait to go off with them and have fun. It’s so good for us because we can enjoy our holiday knowing he is enjoying his xx

Relevant certificates must be produced, at every stay, for inspection to Ladybird Kennels before any animal will be accepted for boarding. OPTIONAL KENNEL COUGH INTRANASAL VACCINE FOR DOGS if administered must be a minimum of 6 weeks prior to boarding. If this condition is not adhered to, the dog will be refused entry to Ladybird Kennels and the deposit forfeited.
        3. - In the event of injury to or illness of a cat or dog, Ladybird Kennels will instruct your designated veterinary surgeon. Costs thereof will be met by Pet Plan Insurance Scheme under their Terms and Conditions (premium included in boarding fee).

        4. - In the event of injury or illness of any animal that is not a cat or dog, a Veterinary Surgeon may be called in. All costs incurred in this connection and in the carrying out of his instructions, shall be at the owner's expense.
