Pet hotels & boarding

Kennels, catteries, pet hotels, veterinary boarding and people who board in their own home. TIMOMAX shows what each place has actually told it, and says so when nobody has told it anything.

This is a directory, not a booking system. TIMOMAX does not hold places and cannot reserve one for you. Phone before you travel — a kennel with space this morning may not have it tonight.

TIMOMAX does not know where you are

TIMOMAX does not know where you are. Nothing on this page is sorted by distance from you, and no distance is shown, because TIMOMAX will not measure from a place you did not give it. Set a location to sort by distance.

Not sorted by distance — TIMOMAX does not know where you are, so these are in alphabetical order.

0 facilities·0 have told TIMOMAX their availability

TIMOMAX has no boarding facility on record yet

No kennel, cattery, pet hotel or home boarder has been verified into TIMOMAX's directory yet, so there is nothing here to search. That is a gap in TIMOMAX's data, not a statement that nowhere near you boards animals — the places to ring are the ones your own vet, your local shelter or a web search can name.

What “intake status” means

Whether a place is taking animals at all, which is a different question from whether it has a free run. Most rows say intake status unknown, and that is a fact about TIMOMAX rather than about the facility.

Taking animals now

The facility has said it is accepting animals. It has not said it has room — that is the availability figure, and it is a separate question.

Taking some animals

Accepting intake with conditions the facility sets — size, species, notice, a temperament test. Ask what they are.

By appointment only

Taking animals, but not if you simply arrive with one. Call first; turning up is the thing that fails here.

Not taking animals now

The facility has said it is not accepting animals at the moment. Something it told TIMOMAX, not something TIMOMAX worked out.

Intake status unknown

Nobody has told TIMOMAX whether this place is taking animals right now. Intake status unknown is a fact about TIMOMAX, never about the facility: it does not mean closed, and it is never a reason to leave somewhere off a list.

What the availability labels mean

Live from their booking system

Read directly from the facility's own booking software. The most reliable figure TIMOMAX can show, and still worth a phone call before you drive.

Reported by the facility

The facility entered this themselves, at the time shown. Accurate when it was set; a facility that filled up at lunchtime rarely goes back to update it.

TIMOMAX estimate — not a count

Derived by TIMOMAX from patterns, not reported by anyone. It is a guess, it is labelled as a guess, and it should never be the reason you stop calling.

Not known

Nobody has told TIMOMAX whether there is space. This is the normal state for most facilities, and it is the honest answer — call them.
