Our cat Miso recently stayed at St Giles over the Christmas break. I was nervous to leave her, not knowing how she would react, but I needn't have worried. Miso was extremely well cared for and enjoyed her stay so I cannot recommend them enough. Special shout out to Lauren, her kindness and clear passion for the animals put my mind at ease immediately; plus receiving pictures and updates was a very welcome addition and has 100% given me the confidence to leave her at St Giles again!

We use St Giles a couple of times a year to board our spaniel. Staff are always welcoming and very obviously care for the animals they look after. Our dog can be nervous, but she is always happy to go with St Giles staff and comes out with a wagging tail. Would very highly recommend St Giles to anyone who asked.

It’s about time I did this review as my dog Nobby has stayed at St Giles Boarding Kennels a few times. As far as Nobby is concerned he just can’t wait to get inside. He is excited and having been booked in he trots off making it easier for me to leave him there knowing he will be well looked after. When I collect him he’s happy and healthy. All the staff I have met have been polite, happy and have done a great job looking after Nobby. I would recommend St Giles Boarding Kennels and all of the staff they are brilliant, Nobby will be back soon.

We love St Giles! We have both adopted from them and boarded with them, and they are superb. Top tier care for dogs (and cats!) and very kind and helpful staff. Thoroughly recommended.

We have used St Giles Boarding for the first time this weekend for our two cats and I cannot recommend them highly enough. The whole process was easy to book them in on line and get them registered. Drop off and collection was seamless. A lovely touch was to also receive a message to say how well they were settling in as well as some photos, which was really reassuring whilst we were away. We will be booking them in for our next holiday I’m sure. Great service!

My dog Lass had a really lovely trial day on Thursday 21st August. Charlene was really lovely with her and Lass clearly really liked her. She will be staying for a few nights when we go on holiday soon and I feel very reassured after her trial day that she will have a wonderful time and will be very well looked after. Thank you St.Giles animal centre.

We have been boarding our German shepherd here for years and the care and facilities are great. We have never had a bad experience. They really look after her with walks and playtime. The staff are all wonderful and it’s such peace of mind to know how well taken care of she is.

Just collected Dexter after just over a weeks boarding, we were apprehensive about leaving him here as he had always been in a home environment. However, we needn’t of worried. He’s clearly been well looked after and, apart from his initial excitement at seeing us, he’s settled back well at home. Great update from lovely staff at St Giles when we collected him. Highly recommend. Thank you so much
