Dog boarding and day care in Nottingham, area by area

This page covers eight areas across Nottingham and its immediate boroughs, and the 26 listed dog boarders, day cares and kennels are spread unevenly across them. West Bridgford, Mapperley and the Nottingham centre area between them hold half of the total; every area has at least one business.

West Bridgford, Nottingham centre and Mapperley

West Bridgford's five businesses are Puddles Doggy Day Care, Build a Bond, Houndhaus, House & Pet Devotee and All About Dogs. The Nottingham centre area's four are Nottingham Pet Care, Cuddles-A-Plenty, Aunt Sal's Dog Boarding and More Paws Pet Services. Mapperley's four are Exodus Walkies & Home Boarding, Ruffles Doggy Daycare, Paws For Thought and Colwick Frolics.

Long Eaton and Hucknall

Long Eaton's four are Aristopups, Walkies of Long Eaton, Watsons Walkies and Auntie Claire's Pet Sitting. Hucknall's four are Pooches, Paws Outdoors Hucknall, We Are Barkers and Pawsome Lisa.

Carlton, Beeston and Arnold

Carlton's two are Nottingham Pet Services and Pampered Pets (Boarding) Ltd, Nottingham's one boarding kennels. Beeston's two are Animals at Home (Nottingham) and The Paw Pad Nottingham. Arnold has one business, B's Wings Pet Services, which also trades as Happy Hounds Hotel.

How these areas were worked out

Several of the councils' own registers give no street address for a home boarder, so an area shown here comes from a business's own website, Facebook page or a phone conversation 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 during research; a small number of licensed Nottingham-area home boarders are not shown on this page at all yet for that reason.

If you're near the edge of an area

These eight areas follow postcode districts rather than exact boundaries, so a business shown under one area may still be a short drive from a neighbouring one; it is worth checking the areas either side of yours as well before assuming nothing nearby is available.

Licensing follows council boundaries, not these areas

These eight browsing areas don't map onto the six licensing council boundaries described in our council-licences guide. Nottingham City Council licenses businesses in the Nottingham centre area, Mapperley, Arnold and some of West Bridgford; Gedling Borough Council covers other businesses in the Nottingham centre area, Mapperley and Hucknall, plus both businesses in Carlton; Rushcliffe Borough Council covers the rest of West Bridgford; Broxtowe Borough Council covers Beeston; Erewash Borough Council covers Long Eaton; and Ashfield District Council covers the rest of Hucknall.
