Ruskington Boarding Kennels

Alistair Ede - Owner

Alistair previously ran a boarding kennels and cattery in Louth (Lincolnshire) but this is his new venture that he sees as having huge potential. He says, “When I started at my old kennels I had an occupancy level of 30%, when I left it was 95%.” The kennels are in the countryside in nice, peaceful surroundings.

The site on Fen Road has expanded from 34 kennels to 48 since Alistair took over. Alistair’s professional approach means he believes in the age-old phrase, “The customer is always right.” His 10 members of staff have been specifically recruited to provide one-to-one care and cater for any specialised diets.

Alistair added, “Whatever the client wants we will go with. I have known requests for Weetabix in the morning with a cup of tea!.” We want the owners to know their animals will be looked after properly.”

He understands owners often worry about leaving their pets with unknown kennels or catteries or have to rely on the goodwill of friend and family. Open all year round, prospective clients are welcome to drop in to look around the excellent facilities to put their mind at ease.

Should your pet fall ill during its stay, staff will only use your own preferred veterinary practice. With comprehensive insurance, two veterinary nurses on the team and a wealth of experience, owners can rest assured that their pets will more likely be enjoying a well-earned holiday too.

Pets will be able to run and exercise freely within two safe, enclosed grass paddocks or under cover in a third enclosure in the event of poor weather.  There are zones for animals preferring peace and quiet or they can listen to music if they prefer. They can be pampered in the grooming parlour and even watch TV while they wait!

As well as cats and dogs, Ruskington Boarding Kennels have the capability and experience to look after rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, ducks and tortoises. In conjunction with the RSPCA the kennels now has ferrets for re-homing.

The images of boarding kennels from as little as 15 years ago are gone. If you want a thoroughly professional and satisfying service for your pet, come to Ruskington Boarding Kennels where you and your animal’s interests always come first.
