A Home From Home
For Your Best Friend

From overnight stays to running free in the paddock – and quality food delivered to your door.

Oaklands has been welcoming dogs since 2013 – we’re a small, family-run dog kennels in Stafford, and in that time we’ve looked after countless dogs from families right across the local area. The philosophy hasn’t changed since day one – every dog that stays with us is treated as one of our own.

Run by Emma and her family, Oaklands isn’t an industrial boarding operation. We’re a hands-on dog kennels, the kind where dogs aren’t just numbers, and where every guest gets the time, attention, and routine they need to settle in properly. We pride ourselves on knowing each dog’s quirks, their feeding routine, and the little things that make them feel at home.

As a local-authority licensed dog kennels, we’re fully insured, and recommended by vets across the area. Vaccinations are checked on every arrival, our staff are trained in canine first aid, and a vet is on call for any moment we might need one — so you can leave your dog with us knowing they’re in genuinely safe hands.

Whether your dog is a confident regular, a nervous rescue, or a senior who needs a little extra care, we welcome dogs of every shape, size, and temperament and we’d love to meet yours.

I highly recommend these LOVELY Boarding Kennels.. the staff are friendly and kind.. they do a great job with our dogs.. and they even sent me a picture of my Fox Terrier, Betty whilst I was away.. something that I have NEVER EXPERIENCED before. Everywhere is clean and my dog came back bathed and smelling lovely.. worth every penny.. a great find and super Kennels’s.. thank you.

Can't rate this place enough . My dogs love it here and I never want to use anywhere else ! One of my dogs has medical needs and anxiety problems, yet loves it here. It's a home from home. I get regular updates and pictures when we are away, which is very reassuring and lovely. The team are lovely and nothing is too much trouble. They will always do their absolute best to accommodate. They provide luxury options for boarding and underfloor heating, which is great too. Genuinely can't rate them enough . Attached some of my latest pupdates 😄
