Dog boarding and day care in Doncaster, area by area
Doncaster’s seven areas sit inside a single council, City of Doncaster, and this directory’s nine dog boarding, day-care and home-boarding businesses are spread unevenly across them. Thorne & Hatfield has the most, and two areas have none.
| Area | Listed businesses |
|---|---|
| Thorne & Hatfield | 3 |
| Bentley & Scawthorpe | 2 |
| Bawtry & Tickhill | 2 |
| Doncaster centre | 1 |
| Mexborough & Conisbrough | 1 |
| Bessacarr & Cantley | 0 |
| Armthorpe & Edenthorpe | 0 |
Thorne & Hatfield
Thorne & Hatfield’s three businesses are all kennels: AD ASTRA Kennels and Cattery, Longmeadow Pet Hotel and Chaiquinta Pet Hotel & Grooming Salon, all three also licensed for day care alongside boarding.
Bentley & Scawthorpe, Bawtry & Tickhill
Bentley & Scawthorpe’s two are Oakwood Boarding Kennels & Cattery, in Toll Bar, and the home boarder Jake’s Adventures Pet Care. Bawtry & Tickhill’s two are the kennels Mayflower Boarding Kennels and Cattery and Bryce Boarding Kennels.
Doncaster centre and Mexborough & Conisbrough
Each of these two areas has a single listed business: the home boarder Hannah’s Happy Hounds, recorded here as its town-wide network’s hub, in Doncaster centre, and Paws 4 A Break, run by Jane and Martyn, in Mexborough & Conisbrough.
Bessacarr & Cantley, Armthorpe & Edenthorpe: none listed
Neither area has a listed business: City of Doncaster Council’s register names no boarder or day care in either area with a confirmed phone number, so none is shown rather than guessed from a neighbouring postcode. If you are based in either area, it is worth asking the council directly for its current list of licensed boarders, since a genuinely local operator can take time to appear in research like this.
Just outside these seven areas
Doncaster’s licensed supply reaches slightly further than these seven postcode districts cover. Some Bentley & Scawthorpe and Bawtry & Tickhill businesses shown above are placed there as the nearest listed area rather than an exact match, because their own postcode — DN6 around Askern and Woodlands, or DN9 around Blaxton and Finningley — is not one of the seven districts this page lists. This is an approximation, not a claim that either business sits inside the named area’s boundary, so check the address given on a business’s own listing if the exact location matters to you.
Calling a neighbouring area
If your own area shows none or only one listed business, it is often worth calling a neighbouring area’s business too: Doncaster is not a large town by area, and a kennels or home boarder based in Thorne & Hatfield or Bawtry & Tickhill may still be a reasonable drive from Bessacarr & Cantley or Armthorpe & Edenthorpe. Ask about collection if the distance is the only thing putting you off.
How these areas were worked out
An area shown here follows the postcode district a business’s address sits 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.
