New dog boarding service launches in Kenilworth - 'a loving home-away-from home for dogs'
By James Smith 1st Jun 2026
Cosy Home Dog Boarding, a new family-run service founded by local dog lover Catherine Johnson, officially opens this month.
Based in Kenilworth, the business offers a "warm, safe alternative" to traditional kennels, providing "genuine home comforts and attentive care" for dogs of all breeds and sizes while their owners are away.
Dogs stay as part of the household, living alongside Catherine and her two friendly, well-trained working Labradors, Fern and Merryn.
With no cages or kennels, guests enjoy full access to living spaces, soft bedding, familiar routines, and "plenty of companionship" from both the family and their sociable resident dogs.
The service is fully licensed by Warwick District Council, insured, and meets all required animal welfare standards, with "every dog's health, safety and happiness as the top priority".

"Dogs are family, and leaving them is never easy," said Catherine.
"I created Cosy Home Dog Boarding right here in Kenilworth to give local owners peace of mind.
"Every dog that stays with us becomes part of our home – loved, played with, and made to feel completely comfortable, often joining Fern and Merryn for walks and fun. It really is a home away from home."
Key Features:
- True Home Environment: fully integrated into family life; joined by resident Labradors Fern and Merryn
- Personalised Care: routines tailored to feeding, exercise, medication and dietary needs
- Secure Garden: fully enclosed space for safe off-lead play and exploration
- Daily Updates: regular photos and messages sent to owners
- Flexible Bookings: short breaks, holidays and last-minute care welcome

Catherine brings over 20 years of personal experience owning and caring for dogs, plus training in dog first aid.
Having grown up with dogs and raised working Labradors for many years, she understands exactly how important trust, reassurance and good company are when leaving a pet behind – and has built Cosy Home Dog Boarding to be the service she would always choose for her own animals.
Cosy Home Dog Boarding now serves Kenilworth, Warwick, Leamington Spa, Coventry and surrounding villages and is accepting bookings immediately.
Owners are welcome to arrange a free visit to meet Catherine, Fern and Merryn, and view the home before booking.
