Dog Boarding & Pet Care in Menston
Dog Boarding & Pet Care in Menston
Menston is a small village with a lot of dogs and fairly limited choice when it comes to care. We pick up that gap from Baildon, about eighteen minutes away along the valley road.
Because Menston sits between Guiseley and Burley, most of our bookings here are overnight stays for weekends and holidays, plus the occasional day of boarding when the commute runs long.
We are based in Baildon, around eighteen minutes from Menston.

What Menston Pet Owners Say
Real reviews from real pet parents who trust us with their furry family members.
“Cannot recommend Faye enough - she's great! She's really good with my two cocker spaniels and they're always very happy when Faye stops by to walk them.”
“Field and Fur were very caring and attentive with our young dog who has only been away from home a few times. He was nervous at first so they took extra care to introduce him to other dogs slowly so he wouldn't get overwhelmed. And they sent us loads of lovely photos! Would definitely book again”
“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.”
