How it works

One form. Many kennels. You book direct.

KennelFinder does the ringing round for you. Here's exactly what happens from the moment you send your request.

Three simple steps

1. Tell us once
Enter your postcode, your dates and your dog's details: size, breed, vaccinations, medication and behaviour. Choose how many kennels to ask (5 to 15) and how far to look. You can add up to three dogs.
2. We ask nearby kennels
We pick the nearest suitable council-licensed kennels and send each a short enquiry. A person checks every enquiry before it goes. Kennels reply in one tap, or by replying to the email.
3. Compare and book direct
Your private results page shows each kennel that has space with its price, distance and star rating. You choose one and contact them directly to confirm and book.

Within about 24 hours
Replies arrive
Many kennels reply within a few hours. We email you as soon as the first one has space, and your results page updates as each reply comes in.
After 48 hours
Your request closes
We stop waiting for replies and email you a summary of every kennel that has space.
Whenever you're ready
You book direct
Contact your chosen kennel to confirm the price and dates and to arrange your dog's stay.

We don't share your email address or phone number. You decide when to contact a kennel.

We'll tell you. You can widen your radius, change your dates or send a new request. Space often frees up as plans change.

You can also cancel a request at any time from your results page, and we'll stop contacting kennels.
