Why coverage is uneven
Sittingbourne and Margate & Cliftonville between them account for eleven of the eighteen businesses listed here, largely because both sit inside larger built-up areas with more households and more registered operators to find in the first place. Broadstairs, Sandwich and Faversham were the thinnest areas in research: fewer register entries matched their postcodes, so a short list here may reflect what could be verified as much as how many businesses actually operate nearby.
Margate & Cliftonville (5)
Amble Dogs and MrDogStar are home boarders in the area; Bedima Boarding Kennels, Birch Abbey Boarding Kennels and Manston Boarding Kennels & Cattery all run boarding kennels, the last two also taking cats. See the Margate & Cliftonville area page.
Broadstairs (0)
No business with a confirmed phone number is currently listed for Broadstairs. As above, this was one of the thinnest areas for verifiable register entries during research; anyone in Broadstairs is closest to the five businesses in Margate & Cliftonville or the one in Ramsgate.
