Dog boarding and day care in Maidstone, area by area
Maidstone's dog boarders, kennels and home boarders are spread unevenly across the borough's eight areas. The table below shows how many businesses are based in each.
Businesses by area
| Area | Postcodes | Businesses listed |
|---|---|---|
| Coxheath, Boughton Monchelsea & Chart Sutton | ME17 | 4 |

| Loose & Tovil | ME15 | 2 |

Coxheath, the best-covered area
Coxheath, Boughton Monchelsea & Chart Sutton has the most businesses of any area: Chart Sutton Boarding Kennels, Linda's Happy Hounds, The Best (Not Very Exotic) Doggy Hotel and Kent Dog Grooming Academy are all based there.
Areas with nothing listed
Allington and Aylesford have no dog boarder, day care or kennels listed at present. This reflects what research for this page found, not a gap in the listings themselves: no licensed business with a confirmed phone number and a trading presence was found based in either area. If you live in Allington or Aylesford, the nearest listed businesses are in Maidstone town centre (Wags n Walkies) and Larkfield, Ditton & East Malling (The Kent Dog Hotel); several of Maidstone's home boarders also cover a wider area than their own postcode, so it is worth asking any of them whether they reach you.
A note on home boarders
Eight of Maidstone's twelve listed businesses are home boarders, shown by area and town rather than a street address. Several, including Bark and Ride K9 Services and The Kent Dog Hotel, say on their own sites that they cover several villages beyond the area they are listed under, so an area with no business of its own may still be within reach of one based nearby.
The other areas
Bearsted, Grove Green & Weavering and Loose & Tovil each have two businesses: Elite Pet Services and Parsley and Pals in Bearsted; Pets Holiday Home and Kate's Doggie Daycare in Loose. Headcorn also has two: East Dean Kennels, a boarding kennels, and Bark and Ride K9 Services, a home boarder covering the wider Headcorn, Lenham and Smarden area. Maidstone town centre and Larkfield, Ditton & East Malling have one business each, Wags n Walkies and The Kent Dog Hotel respectively, though both say on their own sites that they cover a wider area than their immediate postcode.
Postcodes overlap between some of these areas: Bearsted, Grove Green & Weavering and Maidstone town centre both take in parts of ME14 and ME15, and Larkfield, Ditton & East Malling spans both ME20 and ME18. If a business's own coverage area straddles two of these, it is listed under the area its address sits in, not under every postcode it happens to serve.
