Happy Dogs
by Susan Bailey, Kent

Happy Dogs

We were so worried about leaving our two 'kids', First time in kennels for years, they are both getting on and are not used to being left ever!  We did not need to worry, they had a wonderful holiday with Therese and Brian, they looked after them so well, they put weight on, which must be a sign they did not fret and although they were very pleased to see us, they still ran back to Therese to say goodbye.  Thank you so much for looking after them so well.

Thouroghly Dedicated

Brian & Therese know what is is when it comes to our four legged friends, also supported by a devoted dog loving staff Steve and others. Since taking on Ella (Jan 2013) from the Retired Greyhound Trust Sittingbourne Branch at the same location, we have always used Rosedale  when we need to be away for a few days. A thoroughly dedicated team.

Excellent Kennels
by Robert Lynn, Kent

Excellent Kennels

After searching for boarding kennels for our dog 'Rosie' we found Rosedale Kennels on the internet.  We met with Brian and Therese and were very impressed with the location, cleanliness and enthusiasm of their staff.    

We are so pleased that we have found kennels where we can feel confident that 'Rosie' will be cared for and looked after to a high standard.

We cannot recommend Rosedale Kennels highly enough.
