Dog boarding and day care in Chesterfield, area by area
Chesterfield's six areas run from the town centre out to Bolsover, Worksop and up into the Derbyshire Dales, and the nineteen dog boarding, day-care and home-boarding businesses in this directory sit unevenly across them.
| Area | Listed businesses |
|---|---|
| Chesterfield town centre | 7 |
| Staveley & Brimington | 3 |
| Clay Cross & North Wingfield | 0 |
| Bolsover & Shirebrook | 2 |
| Worksop | 2 |
| Matlock & Alfreton | 5 |
The six areas follow postcode districts rather than exact boundaries: the town centre covers S40 and S41, Staveley & Brimington covers S43, Clay Cross & North Wingfield covers S42 and S45, Bolsover & Shirebrook covers S44 and NG20, Worksop covers S80 and S81, and Matlock & Alfreton covers DE4 and DE55. Several councils' boundaries cross these postcode lines, so a business can be licensed by a different council from the one you might expect for its area.
Chesterfield town centre
The town centre area holds seven of the nineteen listed businesses, more than any other area: five home boarders, Divine Dog Care, Spire Boarding for Dogs, The Old Dog House, Chesterfield Doggy Day Care and Little Chunks, plus Rose Cottage Doggy Day Care & Doggy Hotel and High Farm Boarding Kennels & Doggie Day Care, both running from a dedicated site rather than a private home.
Staveley & Brimington
This area's three businesses are ADK9, a boarding kennels at Breck Farm that also runs dog training; House of Waggles Doggie Daycare, a day-care site in Staveley with pick-up and drop-off in a dog van; and Doggie Home From Home, a home boarder in New Whittington.
Bolsover & Shirebrook
Two boarding kennels are listed here: Rex Pet Hotel, near Cuckney, licensed by Bassetlaw District Council even though its postcode sits in this area, and C Four Paws, near Arkwright Town, licensed by Bolsover District Council.
Worksop
Two day-care businesses are listed for Worksop, both licensed by Bassetlaw District Council: Total Dog Daycare, a purpose-built facility that also runs dog training, and Wagz Pet Boutique (The Doggy Drop Inn), a cage-free indoor day care that also offers grooming and hydrotherapy.
Matlock & Alfreton
This is the second-best-covered area, with five businesses spanning three different councils: Booth's Rainbow Boarding and Hayley and Pete Dog Boarding, both home boarders in Alfreton licensed by Amber Valley Borough Council; Birchwood Boarding Kennels and Cattery, also Amber Valley-licensed, in Somercotes; Dog And Spoon, a Bolsover District Council-licensed kennels near Westhouses; and Upperwood Boarding Kennels & Cattery, near Matlock, licensed by Derbyshire Dales District Council.
Clay Cross & North Wingfield
No business is currently listed for Clay Cross & North Wingfield. This area sits inside North East Derbyshire District Council's licensing area, and the 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 round. See our council licences guide for more on this gap. If you are near Clay Cross or North Wingfield, it is worth asking neighbours or a local vet for a recommendation as well as checking here, or looking at businesses in the neighbouring Chesterfield town centre or Staveley & Brimington areas.
How these areas were worked out
An area shown here follows the postcode district a business's own site, its council register entry or a directory listing places it in. 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.
