City centre, Writtle and Danbury and the CM3 villages

City centre's four are all home boarders: Barking Mad Chelmsford, Golden Paws Essex, Janies Dog Walking And Pet Boarding and Petpals Chelmsford. Writtle's three include the kennels Bylake Boarding Kennels and Cattery alongside the day care Canine Advisory Ltd and the home boarder Epic Tails. Danbury and the CM3 villages, a bucket for outlying rural addresses rather than Danbury village alone, holds L B Pet Service, The Fig Tree Kennels & Cattery and Pooches And Me.

Chelmer Village, Galleywood, Springfield, Great Baddow and Broomfield

Chelmer Village has Essex Bark And Stay and Little Doggy Daycare. Galleywood has the kennels Harvesters Farm Kennels and the home boarder Bernies Boarding Parlour. Springfield has one, Home From Home Dog Boarding Service, a national agency's local host rather than a small independent. Great Baddow has We Love Pets Chelmsford. Broomfield has Stan Dins Doggy Day Care.

South Woodham Ferrers

No business on this page is confirmed based in South Woodham Ferrers, even though Chelmsford City Council's register shows licensed boarding and day-care activity in that postcode area more broadly. That is a gap in what could be confirmed so far, not a sign nothing is available there; check the council's own register directly if you are based in that part of town.

How Danbury and the CM3 villages was worked out

Chelmsford City Council's rural CM3 postcode district covers far more villages than the nine named areas on this site, so outlying addresses such as Bicknacre and Boreham are grouped under "Danbury and the CM3 villages" as the closest available area, rather than every village having its own page. A business shown under this area may be several miles from Danbury itself, so check the individual listing's own description of where it is based.

If you're near the edge of an area

Chelmsford's nine areas follow postcode districts rather than exact boundaries, so a business shown under Chelmer Village or Galleywood, for example, may still be a short drive from a neighbouring area. If South Woodham Ferrers or a thin area near you shows fewer businesses than you expected, it is worth checking the areas either side of it too. Every business shown against an area here also has a confirmed phone number and a current Chelmsford City Council licence; the counts above do not include any unconfirmed or unlicensed leads found during research.
