Kettering town centre & Barton Seagrave
Dog Days Inn Ltd is the only listed business here, running a day-care centre in Kettering since 2013 with a home-boarding option alongside it.
Corby
Two businesses are listed: Cloverleaf Canine Centre, day care only since 2012, and Harkers Barkers, a farm kennels roughly halfway between Kettering and Corby that also runs a self-service dog wash and paddock hire.
Wellingborough
Two boarding kennels are listed: Low Farm Dog Kennels and Cattery, which also runs residential dog training and an equestrian livery yard, and The Settle Kennels and Cattery, trading for more than 20 years with a grooming service alongside boarding.
Rushden & Higham Ferrers
Country Companions Pet Services, a home boarder, is the only listed business here. Its own licence claim, from the former East Northamptonshire District Council, could not be matched to the current North Northamptonshire Council register.
Market Harborough
This is the best-covered area, with six businesses: Wooden House Kennels, the one kennels here, and five home boarders — The Dog Club, Barking Mad Market Harborough, Out and About Dog Walking, Paws 4 Walking and Porter's Paw Patrol.
Oundle & Thrapston
Two kennels are listed: Denford Edge Boarding Kennels, family run near Thrapston since 1997 with a luxury underfloor-heated tier, and Highlands Country Kennels and Cattery, a small set of 18 kennel units open only during two daily visiting windows.
Desborough & Rothwell
No business is currently listed in this area. If you are nearby, Kettering town centre or Corby are the closest listed options on this page, or ask North Northamptonshire Council directly for its current list of licensed operators.
Irthlingborough & Raunds
Four Seasons Boarding Kennels & Cattery, on the edge of Raunds, is the only listed business here; Irthlingborough itself has no listed business.
How these counts were worked out
An area shown here follows the postcode district a business's own site or its council register entry 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. North Northamptonshire Council's own register names more home-boarding licences under personal names, with no trading name or contact route given, than could be matched to a business with a working phone number, so the counts above are a floor on genuine local supply in some areas, not a full census of every licensed operator.
