Pyke Boarding Kennels and Cattery
In 2008 Angela Stanley became a partner in the business and Pyke Boarding Kennels Ltd was formed.
The kennels have recently been fully refurbished, reorganised and new services introduced.
We are a small, friendly business, offering individual and personal attention to all our boarders.
Pyke Boarding Kennels is set in the wonderful Wiltshire country side in an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
We have the most spectacular views over the Cotswolds and we are in the heart of the Beaufort country.
We are situated on a quiet country lane set well back from the road with our nearest main road being approx one mile away.
We supply freshly laundered 'Vet Bedding' for our all guests during their stay but, if you would like to bring your pets own bed, or that special toy or teddy, that is fine.
Refurbished kennels and new exercise run now open!
Our new kennels and 'play area' have been a massive hit with both our new and existing clients!
We are very proud of our 'open door' culture!
When you drop your dog off for his holidays you can put him 'to bed' yourself if you would like and you can then see where he will be sleeping!
Our kennels are very open and visible to all!
- We are genuine animal lovers and every effort is made to ensure that your pets stay is an enjoyable experience
- We are very proud of our 'open door' culture! Our kennels are very open and visable to all, therefore our boarders always have something to watch to occupy their time
- Dogs £11 per day per dog
Cats £6 per day per cat
- Opening Times:
- We prefer to limit the drop off and collection times to one hour in the morning and one hour in the evenings.
This gives our boarders the chance to settle during the day and keeps any barking to a minimum.
This arrangement has been in operation for the last ten months with great success.
However, if you cannot manage these times we will always try to be as flexible as possible but we do put our boarders first!
Monday to Friday 8.30am to 9.30am
Saturday and Sunday 9.00am to 10.00am
Monday to Sunday 4.00pm to 5.00pm
We are open 7 days a week - 52 weeks a year
"We took our dog "Lady" to Pyke Boarding Kennels for the first time at Easter (09), and we couldn't have been happier. Angela was welcoming, kind and understanding, she knew I was uneasy about leaving Lady, (she's a half blind, deaf OAP now!). She was kind enough to send us messages and even a photo of Lady whilst we were away so that I knew she had settled in well (that's a service I have never received from any kennel I have previously used). Lady has developed a liking for "Marrowbones" since her stay with Angela, as they provide them for the dogs on a weekly basis. Its reassuring to know when you are away, your dog is in a clean and well look after kennels. I have since recommend Pyke Kennels to my friends as they will feel at ease leaving their pets in such caring hands."

Hi Angela,Storm came home a very happy and relaxed boy so thank you! Just confirming our next time will be on Sunday evening 12/7 - what time would suit you? We can then pick him up late Monday afternoon 27/7. Any chance you could squeeze him in Sat 1/8 for a few days? Or have I left it too late? Let me know when you have a moment
Thanks very much for everything ..it makes such a difference knowing he is being well looked after and loved when we are away ..
Many thanks

"At last I have found a brilliant place to leave my dog Daisy when I'm away. I have tried a number of kennels and been disappointed with them all. Daisy is very attached to me as we spend all day together, but she has been more than happy to stay with Angela for a day then over night then for 10 days. I could always tell that she wasn't happy at the other kennels when I picked her up, she would be anxious and in need of a good walk! But here she gets the exercise she needs and the attention. The big plus for me was being able to text Angela while away to see how Daisy was. It really put my mind at rest and i could enjoy my holiday fully.When I picked her up after 10 days there she was a happy dog and not at all anxious. I would highly recommend Pyke boarding kennels to everyone.
Thanks again Angela. Daisy sends you a big kiss. x"
I have recently boarded my two dogs and parrot at Pyke Boarding Kennels and Cattery, and we have been very pleased with the care and service provided. Pyke provided a very clean and safe environment for my pets, and gave us the reassurance that everything was going to be OK while we were on holiday. Angela didn't mind us contacting her and asking how things were going, and this gave us peace of mind, and helped us relax. On our return, all pets were safe, clean and happy. We highly recommend the safe, happy and friendly environment at Pyke, and we would use their services in the future.

"Thank you for looking after our two dogs so well. You did a fantastic job in the extremely cold weather. As a result of staying at your kennels our dogs have overcome some of their nervousness of other dogs. We also appreciate you coming out later than anticipated when our return flight was delayed. In addition you were good in sending us messages of comfort while we were away which helped us enjoy our holiday and assure us that the dogs were in good hands"

"Baby is always happy to stay at Pyke Kennels with Angela and Kitty and always comes home looking fit and well cared for after her holiday and we can leave her knowing she will be well looked after, especially as she is an elderly dog of 13 years of age."

"I have been taking my dogs to the Pyke Boarding Kennels for some time now and have always found them to be helpful and understanding, Angela knows how we feel when we leave our dogs and makes the transition of departing from them so easy as she gives them a fantastic welcome that before they know it we have gone. I have to say it is so reassuring to know when one is away that the dogs are in a clean and well look after kennels. I always recommend Pyke Kennels to my friends as they will feel at ease leaving their pets in such caring hands."

"I have been very fortunate in finding Pyke Boarding Kennels for my two dogs to stay at. Charlie and Toby, who are Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, have been staying there since they were puppies. They have such a good time that I never have a problem leaving them. Angela is so enthusiastic greeting them that they barely look back to say "goodbye". It is quite a holiday for them both to meet other dogs and seeing Angela who makes such a fuss of them."
Mrs M-S - Charlton -
"Pyke Kennels provides a friendly, welcoming service and they are efficiently run. The dogs are well cared for, the kennels have recently been refurbished and are always clean. Angela and Kitty treat the dogs as if they were their own."

"Monty and Toby (West Highland Terriers) have been going to Pyke Boarding Kennels for many years. They are always keen to run in and are always well cared for. There have never been any problems with their visits. I never worry about them when they are there - I know they will be absolutely fine."
Mrs K - Corston -
"My name is Moby and I am a 3 legged Terrier cross with my Big friend Misty who is a German Shepherd. We are both 11 years old and have been holidaying at Pyke Boarding Kennels for over 3 years now. We love to come and stay with Kitty and Angela and if we are really lucky sometimes our holidays are over a month long. We just can't wait to arrive and we are always a bit reluctant to go home at the end of our stay. By then our noses are black, cold and wet and our coats are shiny. We just love the communal and convivial atmosphere at Kitty's and Angela's."
