Home boarding or kennels in Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft?
The thirteen boarders, day cares and kennels listed across Great Yarmouth & Gorleston, Lowestoft and Beccles & Bungay are mostly home boarders: seven board dogs in the boarder's own house, against five running from a separate kennels premises, and one offering day care only with no overnight stay.
Home boarding
PetStay Norfolk covers the Great Yarmouth & Gorleston area; Wiggley Walkers Lowestoft, Cases and Canines, Paws of Pakefield and We Love Pets East Coast cover Lowestoft; and Beccles Cosy Home Dog Boarding and We Love Pets Beccles cover Beccles & Bungay. A home boarder usually takes far fewer dogs at a time than a kennels; as with every home boarder on this site, only the area and town are shown here, and the address is given once you book.
Boarding kennels
Andrews Holiday Inn for Dogs and Cats and Bondi Petcare, both near Great Yarmouth, and The Doghouse in Great Ormesby run purpose-built kennel blocks in the Great Yarmouth & Gorleston area; Noosabay Kennels & Cattery and Pineview Farm Kennels do the same near Beccles and Bungay. The Doghouse also runs day care and grooming alongside its kennels, and Andrews Holiday Inn and Noosabay Kennels & Cattery both also board cats. A kennels usually has room for more dogs at once, with set feeding and exercise times and staff on site rather than one family.
Day care only
East Point Paws (Lowestoft Canine Creche), in Lowestoft, is the only business here that runs day care but does not board dogs overnight, reported to take dogs for the working day with capacity for a large group. See our day care or boarding guide for the full split between day care and overnight stays.
Ownership links
Bondi Petcare, in the Great Yarmouth & Gorleston area, and Noosabay Kennels & Cattery, near Beccles and Bungay, are run under the same ownership group, alongside a linked hydrotherapy business; the two kennels are treated as separate listings here because they sit in different council areas. Cases and Canines, a Lowestoft home boarder, takes only one household's dogs at a time, worth asking about if you want your dog to avoid sharing a house with other families' dogs during a stay.
Privacy and premises
A boarding kennels is a business premises in the ordinary sense, so a farm or road name can appear on its listing here. A home boarder's licence, by contrast, is issued to a person at their own house, which is a different kind of privacy: this site shows only the area and town for a home boarder, never a street, and gives the address once you have booked.
Choosing between them
A nervous dog that dislikes sharing space with strange dogs may do better with a home boarder taking one household at a time; a sociable dog might prefer a kennels' larger group and more structured day. Ask a home boarder how many other dogs will be there during your dates, and ask a kennels about its run and group sizes, before you decide.
