Kerrina's Canine Care in short

Kerrina's Canine Care is a small Telford family business pairing home boarding with weekday walks between morning and mid-afternoon. The headline credential is a Telford and Wrekin home-boarding licence with the highest council star rating, sitting beside day-care qualifications and first aid certification. Insurance and DBS checks are stated. Walking runs five days a week between morning and mid-afternoon, which covers part-day needs for owners who work flexible hours.

Reviews are warm but few: 4.6 from 16 Google ratings, with no other platform scores in the record we hold. Our view is that Kerrina's Canine Care suits owners who want licensed boarding with walks attached from genuinely hands-on people. What counts against it is the missing price list and the modest size of the review base.
