Our History

Glyndale Kennels and Cattery is a family-owned and operated business that has been providing exceptional pet care services for over 60 years.

The business was founded by Doris Poole, who had a love for animals and started caring for her friends and neighbours pets when they went on vacation. As the demand for her services grew, she saw an opportunity to establish a professional business, and thus, Glyndale Kennels and Cattery was born. Doris’ daughter, Glynis, developed a passion for animal care at a young age and began helping her mother with the business.

Today, Glynis runs the business and has continued to maintain the high standards and dedication set by her mother. Her dedication to animal welfare has resulted in a loyal customer base, who trusts Glyndale Kennels and Cattery to provide exceptional pet care services.

As the business continued to grow, Glynis’ son, John, also joined the family business and will eventually take over the reins. With John’s love for animals and his mother’s guidance, Glyndale Kennels and Cattery is set to continue providing excellent pet care services for generations to come.

In conclusion, Glyndale Kennels and Cattery’s long history and commitment to providing quality pet care services has made it a trusted and beloved business in the community. Doris’ legacy continues to thrive under the leadership of Glynis and John, who continue to uphold the business’ high standards of care for all pets that come through their doors.
