Kerrina's Canine Care in short

Kerrina's Canine Care is a small family home-boarding business in Dawley, Telford, run by Kerrina and Tony with round-the-clock care [1] [2]. Dogs stay as part of the family with play, woodland walks and evenings on the settee. Evenings on the settee with all-day play set the rhythm of the stay. For a dog that frets in kennels, this review finds the family routine the main draw.

The record shows home boarding with walking and day care from the family home, serving Dawley and the town around it. Bookings run through Tony with collection and delivery on offer [2] [3]. Contact runs by phone and online enquiry form. The site also covers walking and day care with social links alongside the booking routes. Woodland walks with collection and delivery widen the offer beyond the house.

Customer reviews are warm but few: the held Google record stands at 4.6, the only public review source held [4]. Its licence carries a five-star council rating, backed by care, boarding and first-aid qualifications. That warmth over volume suits a business of this size.

What counts against Kerrina's Canine Care is thin detail online: no boarding rates are published, and the site gives no street address or opening hours [2] [3]. Our judgement is that it suits Dawley-side owners wanting a family stay. The Dawley base keeps drop-off short for town-side owners.

Our verdict

Our judgement: Kerrina's suits you if you want your dog in a Dawley family home rather than kennels, with qualified cover and a stated 5-star licence [1] [2]. Missing rates and a small review base count against it [2] [4].
