Dog day care and boarding in Fareham and Gosport, area by area
Twenty-one dog day cares, boarding kennels and home boarders are listed across this page's four areas, licensed by three different councils. This guide lists exactly what is published in each; see our council licences guide for the detail behind each licence mentioned below.
| Area | Businesses listed |
|---|---|
| Fareham | 6 |
| Gosport | 1 |
| Wickham & Southwick | 1 |
| Bishop's Waltham | 13 |
Fareham (PO14, PO15, PO16)
Six businesses are listed here, licensed by Fareham Borough Council: 4 Muddy Paws and Just Like Home, both home boarders; CB Canine Care and Fareham's Dog Day Care Ltd, both day care only; Lone Valley Kennels Ltd, a boarding kennels licensed for up to 50 dogs; and RSPCA Solent Branch (The Stubbington Ark), which boards dogs alongside its rescue and rehoming work. All six are confirmed as licensed on the animal-licensing.uk mirror, but none carries a star rating, since Fareham Borough Council's licence format checked here does not include one.
Gosport (PO12, PO13)
One business is listed here, the thinnest area on this page: Kelly's Pet Care, a home boarder covering Gosport, Fareham, Lee-on-the-Solent, Stubbington and Titchfield, licensed by Gosport Borough Council. That council's own register lists dozens more home boarders under personal names with no confirmed trading presence, so this area's true number of licensed boarders is almost certainly higher than this one listing suggests.
Wickham & Southwick (PO17)
One business is listed here: Posh Paws, a home boarder licensed by Winchester City Council with a 5-star rating for up to five dogs at a time. No independent website has been found for this listing, so call to ask about availability; contact details come from the council's own published register.
Bishop's Waltham (SO32)
Thirteen businesses are listed here, the most of any area on this page, all licensed by Winchester City Council and all carrying a council star rating from its own published register: two boarding kennels (Harfields Pet Retreat, licensed for up to 68 dogs at 5 stars, and Three Oaks Boarding Kennels, for up to 78 at 5 stars plus a separate 3-star welfare licence); one day care only (Elite Canine Services, 5 stars); one combined home boarding and day care business (Oak Villa Boarding and Daycare, 5 stars); and nine further home boarders spread across Bishop's Waltham, Shedfield and Durley (Bishops Waltham Pet Services, Daves Pet Care, Tina's Pet Care, Primrose Dog Care, Wickham Walkies, Happy Days Animal Care, Phoenix Trained Dogs Ltd, Hampshire Dog Care and Durley Grooming Parlour), rated between 1 and 5 stars.
Every one of this page's four areas has at least one listed business; none has none. Fareham and Bishop's Waltham are the best covered; Gosport and Wickham & Southwick are thin by comparison, mainly because Gosport Borough Council's register lists dozens of home boarders under personal names with no confirmed trading presence, and Wickham & Southwick is a smaller rural postcode area with fewer registered operators either council-side.
