Dog boarding in Basingstoke, area by area
Basingstoke's eight defined areas carry the town's 26 listed home boarders unevenly: over half sit in the town centre, and two areas currently have no business listed at all.
| Area | Listed businesses |
|---|---|
| Basingstoke town centre | 14 |
| Tadley | 4 |
| Chineham and Basingstoke north | 3 |
| Oakley | 2 |
| Overton | 2 |
| Whitchurch | 1 |
| Hook | 0 |
| Odiham | 0 |
Six of the eight areas sit under Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council's licensing area (RG21-RG26, RG28); Hook and Odiham (RG27, RG29) sit under Hart District Council instead, whose own register could not be matched to a specific trading business for either area (see our council licences guide).
Basingstoke town centre
Fourteen of the town's 26 home boarders are based here, including Boardwalkers, run by a registered veterinary nurse, and franchise branches Trusted Pet Carers Basingstoke and We Love Pets Basingstoke. Most of the register's entries default to this area because Basingstoke and Deane's own list gives no address more specific than "Basingstoke" for many of them.
Tadley
Four home boarders are listed here: Andersen's Doggie Boarding, Digz4Dogz, Pamber Pet Care and Walk This Way, the last two of which are also known locally for dog walking alongside boarding.
Chineham
Three home boarders serve this area: Pawsome Animal Healing and Pet Care, We Love Pets Basingstoke's Chineham-based host, and Shobs Happy Pawlidays.
Oakley and Overton
Oakley has two listed boarders, Follow My Lead and Hampshire Bark and Board; Overton also has two, iCare Pet Services and Herriard Hound Hotel, the latter run from a farmhouse in the village of Herriard.
Whitchurch
Laverstoke Dogs is the only listed business here, based in the hamlet of Laverstoke, whose post town is Whitchurch.
Hook and Odiham: no listing yet
No business is currently listed for either area. Both fall under Hart District Council rather than Basingstoke and Deane, and Hart's own licence register gives only personal names with no trading name, address or phone attached, so no entry there could be confirmed as a specific business serving Hook or Odiham. This is a gap in what could be matched from the register, not a sign that nothing operates in either place; ask Hart District Council directly, or a local vet, if you are searching in either area.
How these areas were worked out
An area shown here follows the postcode district given on a business's own site, a franchise's branch page, or a partial address on the animal-licensing.uk mirror. Every business shown also has a confirmed phone number, so the counts above only include businesses that could actually be reached, not every name found in research. The eight areas follow postcode districts rather than exact boundaries: Basingstoke town centre covers RG21 and RG22, Chineham covers RG24, Oakley RG23, Overton RG25, Tadley RG26, Hook RG27, Whitchurch RG28 and Odiham RG29.
