About Us and Our Pet Services
Background
Established for over 10 years, Banscol Boarding Kennels & Cattery provides a complete service to ensure that your pet’s needs are met in every way during their stay with us.
Going on holiday and need somewhere safe and comfortable to board your dog or cat? Want to ensure that they will receive individual care and attention?
Our small, friendly, family-run business offers a peaceful setting for your pet’s stay. Set in a quiet, secluded location, our comfortable and cosy boarding services are ideal for all breeds of cat and dog, and will give you complete peace of mind that your pet is in safe hands.
At Banscol Boarding Kennels and Cattery we aim to provide a comfortable, safe and peaceful experience for your pet; with an assurance that they will be cared for and well looked after while you’re away, giving you peace of mind and leaving you free to relax and enjoy yourself.
We are located in a beautiful rural location in the Scottish Highlands, 8 ½ miles off the A9 close to the village of Rogart. This is a quiet area, without the usual distractions of everyday life and noises for your pet to relax and enjoy their stay with us. We don’t have any minimum or maximum stays, so if your 4 legged friend needs an overnight room, we’re happy to provide it. If you’re going to be away for an extended period of time, well we can cover that too.
We aim to offer a flexible and affordable boarding service and are open 7 days a week for your convenience – we welcome visits and inspections (by prior appointment) and discussions about your pet’s individual requirements.
Many of our customers come back year after year because they know their pets are well looked after, we also get a lot of new customers from recommendations from our existing ones.
