Testimonials
At Vita Canis Boarding, I know how emotional it can be to leave your beloved dog behind—even for just a short time. That's why I've created a space that feels like a true home away from home. Nestled in the peaceful countryside just outside Uttoxeter, my small, boutique-style kennels offer a calm and caring environment where your dog can relax, feel safe, and be treated with the same love and attention they'd receive at home.
I honestly wouldn't feel comfortable leaving my dog if Vita Canis hadn't been recommended to me... Rachel is incredibly caring and professional, and she goes above and beyond to accommodate my dog's individual quirks, ensuring she feels comfortable and happy. I love that they offer walks, playtime and enrichment, which keep Thistle physically and mentally active! Rachel is always happy to keep me updated with regular messages and photos, which really puts my mind at ease. The facilities are clean and welcoming, and I always feel confident that my dog is in the best hands. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a safe, loving, and personalised experience for their precious pups.
Mel with Thistle
We were so relieved to find such a caring professional, but home from home kennels for our dog, Zeus.
We got him when he was 14 months old; he hadn't had a very good start in life, so he was very nervous and reactive to everything.
Straight away, Rachel gave him loads of love and affection, plenty of playtime, and exercise, making sure that his daily routine was maintained. Nothing is too much trouble; he's so happy and relaxed. Rachel also sends us regular updates and photos, which puts our minds at ease.
Zeus has stayed here on numerous occasions now, and every time, he can't wait to get in and see Rachel & Stevie - of course! It's now like a second home to him - in fact, his holiday home! Thank you so much!

Rachel is the perfect person to care for your dog; we wouldn't trust Billy with anyone else. He's an Airedale terrier who can be a handful, but I know he's in terrier heaven when he's on holiday there, which gives us great peace of mind and allows us to enjoy our holidays. In fact, I think he has more fun with Rachel than he does at home! I really appreciate the updates, photos and videos of him enjoying himself. It's an extra bonus that Zoe can groom him there too, so he comes home looking smart!
Sarah & Billy
We have been taking our dog to Vita Canis for years now, and it's like a second home for him. Rachel is amazing and always goes above and beyond to ensure Max is comfortable and happy during his stay. We wouldn't trust anyone else!
