Dog boarding and day care in Leicester, area by area
This page's eight areas span Leicester city and several neighbouring districts, and the thirty dog boarding, day-care and home-boarding businesses listed here are spread unevenly across them. Wigston holds seven of the thirty; Braunstone has just one.
Wigston, South Wigston & Great Glen
Wigston's seven businesses are the home boarders Kelli's Pet Services, Little K9's, Happy Boarders, Lauras Leads and Walk In The Park, plus the boarding kennels The Grange Boarding Kennels and Debdale Grange.
Market Harborough
Market Harborough's six are the home boarders The Dog Club Lubenham, K9 Home Boarding, Barking Mad Market Harborough, Porter's Paw Patrol and Yappy Tails Dog Services, plus the boarding kennels Wooden House Kennels.
Syston
Syston's five are the home boarders Charnwood Collar Club, More4paws and E&P Pet Care, the boarding kennels High Barn Farm Kennels & Cattery, and the day care Precious Paws Leicester.
Leicester city centre and Oadby
The city-centre area has the boarding kennels Riverside Boarding Kennels in Aylestone, the home boarder Furry Friends Pet Care Services in Glen Parva, and Happy Paws Leicester and Kokos Trails Dog Walking. Oadby's three are WAGS, Muddy Paws Dog Walking Services and Take The Lead, all licensed for home boarding.
Glenfield and Birstall
Glenfield has two home boarders, Minezara Home Boarding Services and Dog Nanny Leicester. Birstall has two, TailTroopers and Doggy Day Care Leicester, neither of which could be matched to a council register in this research.
Braunstone Town, Braunstone Park & Thorpe Astley
Braunstone has one listed business, Four Paws and Trails, a dog-walking and training academy that also holds a home-boarding licence, though its own site emphasises training and walking over boarding.
How these areas were worked out
Leicester's registers give a full address in some cases (Oadby and Wigston's PDF, Harborough's list) but not others (Leicester City Council's open-data register has no address field at all), so some businesses here are placed by their own website or Facebook page rather than the register itself. 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.
If you're near the edge of an area
These eight areas follow the postcode groupings this page uses, not exact boundaries, so a business shown under one area may still be close to a neighbouring one — Debdale Grange, for instance, sits nearer Market Harborough than the rest of the Wigston area it's grouped with here. If a nearby area shows fewer businesses than you expected, it's worth checking the areas either side of it too.
