Dog Boarding & Pet Care in Cottingley
Dog Boarding & Pet Care in Cottingley
Cottingley sits right between Bingley and Shipley, so most people here are commuting in one direction or the other. A full day of boarding covers that better than a single mid-day visit.
We are about ten minutes away in Baildon. Cottingley dogs get a house, a garden and real walks rather than a kennel run, and you get a straightforward drop-off and collection time that fits your day.
We are based in Baildon, around ten minutes from Cottingley.

What Cottingley Pet Owners Say
Real reviews from real pet parents who trust us with their furry family members.
“Faye was amazing with my girls while I was on holiday. One of my dogs is quite nervous around new people and new dogs and the entire process, from meeting Faye and her dog through to Faye looking after them while I was away was amazing. Constant updates were sent and the girls came back happy, healthy and loved.”
“My dog loves going here while we re away always happy we'll cared for and loves the company. Highly recommended”
“I couldn't recommend Field & Fur highly enough. Buddy stayed with them recently and came home an absolutely happy, well-loved pup - which really is all you need to know! From the start they got everything right. The meet and greet beforehand was reassuring, they asked all the right questions, and they were genuinely flexible and easy to work around& a lovely home. You can just tell they really care about the animals they look after! Optional updates for the stay & got some lovely pictures & vids throughout. It's such a relief to find somewhere you can leave your dog and not spend the whole time worrying. Buddy was in brilliant hands and I'll absolutely be booking again. Thank you so much! 🐾”
