Bohemia Boarding

Five-star accommodation for cats and dogs

Commercial Boarding
on the Isle of Wight

The bags are packed, the ferry is booked – you’re on your way – there is just one worry.  Will your beloved pet be OK while you’re on holiday?

We at Bohemia Boarding understand how difficult it can be to ensure that your dog or cat gets excellent care when you’re away – and that’s why we are perfectly placed to help.

Our experienced staff and quality facilities provide a home-from-home for your companions, giving you peace of mind that while you chill out, they are enjoying a happy, secure and comfortable holiday of their own.

And, while your pet is with us you can relax in the knowledge that you are supporting a great cause, because all monies raised from Bohemia Boarding go directly to the Island’s RSPCA Animal Centre to help rescue, rehabilitate and rehome vulnerable animals on the Isle of Wight.

"Chilled and relaxed"
"I picked my cat up from Bohemia Boarding today after a two-week stay. She was very chilled out and relaxed - obviously very happy there. I would highly recommend Bohemia as pets are looked after to a very high standard by people who genuinely care. It’s also nice to know that the money goes towards helping Island animals.”

Sandra Peelo
"Happy and contented!"
"Thank you for taking such great care of our girls (2 standard poodles) on their first time away from home. They have come back to us happy and contented. Highly recommend."

Expert care for cats and dogs

We are part of the largest animal welfare charity in the UK – the RSPCA, which has been caring for animals for almost 200 years, so expert animal care is in our DNA.  Our Isle of Wight branch was established in the 1950’s and since then we have cared for thousands of animals on the Island.

Recognising that people need a break from their busy lives our Bohemia Boarding facilities were set up over a decade ago, so that we could extend our care services to people looking to board their companions for short or long stays. All proceeds go back to the charity to help us to continue to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome animals on the Isle of Wight.

Since then we have continued to upgrade and develop our facilities and we were delighted to be awarded the top five-star rating for our boarding facilities under the terms of the new DEFRA animal welfare licensing regulations and guidance.  This means we offer the highest standards of care for your furry friends.

We operate 365 days of the year, so we are always here when you need us, providing dependable, safe and secure, short and longer stay boarding.
