I am very fussy about the care our wonderful Mango cat receives, and at Charlesberry the love and attention he gets is second to none! He returns to us happy, healthy, brushed daily and comforted. I couldnt ask for more. Thank you!

Used this boarding kennels about 4 times Stuart and the team are very friendly. Getting used to our lively dog Ruby. They are very professional and helpful and Ruby always just walks off with them when we drop her off.

Horrid place. Dog came back to us smelling of urine and looking like a vagrant compared to previously. Customer service was shocking as well. The girl at reception was rude and e-mail communications on return from holiday were error prone from their side and then actually rude.
Fogot the bedding that we gave and toys, twice over on pick up.

Highly recommended, our various cats have been having their hollibobs here for nearly 20 years. Our latest re-homed Ginger had his 1st cattery experience in May 2021 and at just a year old, Barney-Bear had so much to tell us when he came home, we could tell he'd had a good week! He particularly likes Emily the Cattery/Kennel Manager (or anyone… that talks to him and/or feeds him!) Barney said he is aiming to give out cuddles at future visits and won't be camera shy😻 It is a pleasure to know Barney is loved and cared for when we take our holidays, knowing he will be comfortable, warm

We moved to Milton Keynes about 6 years ago with 1 dog and 1 cat, didn't really know the area but came across Charlesberry Kennels as needed them looking after and haven't looked back since... now with 3 dogs and cat they all stay a few times a year for a weekend or longer break, the dogs all stay in together which is great and I feel happy and confident they will be looked after well!!
Emily and Stuart have been very friendly and accommodating, as are the other staff, would definitely recommend....

Charlesberry Kennels is really a great place for your beloved pets. They take great care to get to know your pet and are always willing to go the extra mile. Medicines are responsibly given at no extra cost. Our 2 dogs always come home well and the carers obviously know them. We have used the boarding kennels regularly and have never had a problem .We leave them in their good care knowing they are well looked after.
