Harvington Kennels and Cattery
Welcome to our well-established boarding kennels and cattery. We offer purpose-built, secure facilities on a 3-acre site located in between Stourbridge in the West Midlands and Kidderminster in the heart of the Worcestershire countryside. Our aim is to ensure your pets have an enjoyable stay with the best possible care from our wonderfully dedicated staff.
Carla and Andrew took over Harvington Kennels and Cattery in the September of 2017 and although they knew that the business was already well established and very well liked in the community, they felt that with their new energy and enthusiasm coupled with the ongoing support from experienced staff that they would level it up to be an even better place to leave your pets. This has most definitely been achieved although they are always striving to take this further! Harvington Kennels and Cattery now has a fantastic reputation for being a place where your dog pulls to go in, spending as much time as possible playing and socialising with other likeminded friendly dogs. Carla always says “no offence – but ”Hoomans are boring, other doggies are fun!”
We continue to be inspired by the positive feedback from our loyal customers, that have repeatedly used our facilities since they opened around Christmas 2009. Although it was a scary leap taking on HK&C, we are so glad we did, and we are immensely proud of how far we have come already. Take a look at our latest upgrades for our short stay / day boarding / day care services.
For an insight into our beautiful facilities please check out our online gallery or have a wander around with our 360 virtual tour. If you and your pooch would like to have a sniff-around in person, give us a call and this can be arranged- we firmly believe that their opinions are the most important!
It can be worrying leaving your pet behind whether it’s the first time or the hundredth, and we would love to put your mind at ease. There are no stupid questions! We offer (when space allows) taster sessions for your dog. This is an experience which will help them (and you!) get used to the staff, parts of the day-to-day routine and maybe even meet some of our other four legged guests. This is really helpful if you have a particularly nervous dog or you are nervous about leaving your dog for their first holiday stay… A few hours before the real holiday stay can help to settle everyone’s nerves. We love snapping photos of your pet having fun and will send a few photos to you whilst you’re away so that you can see for yourself how they are getting on.
We have 21 spacious kennels of different sizes so we can cater for all breeds large and small. In addition we have 1 luxury kennel for dogs that require that little extra. Our overall aim throughout this new build project has been to create a calm, tranquil and cosy environment to help ensure that your pet is as comfortable and happy as possible throughout your pets stay.
All our kennels have underfloor heating, GRP flooring, uPVC doors and their own indoor run area. Background music is played throughout the day.

Your dog will benefit from at least two individual walks a day in our fully secure fields.
