Hi, don't know of any kennels in your area, but I've found a lady to dog/house sit through a website called
www.trustedhousesitters.com. You register, state what your looking for and wait for replies. Prices vary, according to the person. We are going to Wales in October and decided not to take our elderly dog, she just likes being in her own home and kennels are out of the question! Couldn't find anyone in our area and then came across this website and have receivrd several replies and now a lady called Mary will be coming down to stay with her. I believe the sitters need CRB checks and maybe its a gamble, but Mary is a 68 retired widow lady and I don't think she's a con, ;p) ! We live in Devon and Mary lives in Warrington, so we are paing her train fare and provide food. She's never been down this way before so its a bit of a holiday for her as well as peace of mind for us!
Good luck in your search! xx b
