I have been asked by my sister to ask if there is any one who can recommend a kennel or a home boarder in the Cirencester area. She has a holiday booked in December and due to change in circumstances her usual pet sitter can not now look after her two dogs.an ESS and a BC. Sis wants to go on personal recommedation rather than the referances given by the kennels themself. If she can not find a good alternative she is prepared to cancel her holiday. Which after a tough year she really needs. Sadly due to my own work commitments I can not help her out.Thank you.

I don't know of one in Cirencester but it might be worth her looking at her holiday route.  If she is travelling to a train station, airport etc then it might be possible to find a kennel along her route and she can drop the dogs off on the way.  I know of two near Bristol airport for instance

Not an answer I know, but it might just broaden her options a bit :)

Teenage grandaughters with all their luggage will interfere with that very practical suggestion...
