How Chesterfield's councils license dog boarders
Nineteen dog boarders, day cares and kennels are listed for Chesterfield, and between them they answer to five different councils. Chesterfield Borough Council licenses every business in the town centre area plus most of Staveley & Brimington; Bassetlaw District Council covers Worksop and one business in Bolsover & Shirebrook; Bolsover District Council covers the rest of Bolsover & Shirebrook and one business in Matlock & Alfreton; and Amber Valley Borough Council and Derbyshire Dales District Council both cover parts of Matlock & Alfreton. Clay Cross & North Wingfield sits inside North East Derbyshire District Council's area, whose online register could not be read for this page, so no business is currently listed there.

Chesterfield Borough Council's own register
Chesterfield Borough Council publishes its own readable list of licensed animal establishments, giving a star rating from 1 to 5 for every boarding, home-boarding and day-care listing. Ten of the nineteen businesses on this page are licensed here, and each of their star ratings above is read directly from that council page: this is a council licence rating, not a customer review.
The other four councils
The remaining nine businesses are licensed by Bassetlaw, Bolsover, Amber Valley or Derbyshire Dales, and their details here are drawn from animal-licensing.uk, an independently run mirror of each council's own licence decisions rather than the council's own page. Rex Pet Hotel, Dog And Spoon and Birchwood Boarding Kennels and Cattery each show a star rating on that mirror, as does Booth's Rainbow Boarding; C Four Paws, Total Dog Daycare, Wagz Pet Boutique, Hayley and Pete Dog Boarding and Upperwood Boarding Kennels & Cattery show no star figure in the source read for this page.
What that means for you
Every one of the nineteen businesses here holds a licence confirmed against a register or its mirror, which is a genuine legal check: dog boarding, home boarding and day care are all licensed activities in England, and a council can refuse or revoke a licence if a business falls below standard. Where no star figure is shown, that is a gap in what this directory could read, not a mark against the business; ask to see the current certificate and its rating when you call, and check it against the relevant council directly if the rating matters to your decision.
Clay Cross & North Wingfield
No business is currently listed for Clay Cross & North Wingfield. North East Derbyshire District Council's online licence register could not be read for this page, so no local business could be matched to a confirmed licence with confidence. This is a gap in what could be checked, not a sign that nothing operates in the area; ask neighbours or a local vet for a recommendation, or contact North East Derbyshire District Council directly if you need a boarder there now.
