Dog boarding and day care in Salisbury, area by area
Salisbury's five areas sit across three different councils, and this directory's 22 dog boarding, day-care and home-boarding businesses are spread unevenly across them. Andover and Amesbury & Durrington between them hold well over half of the 22; Warminster & Westbury has only two.
| Area | Listed businesses |
|---|---|
| Andover | 7 |
| Amesbury & Durrington | 6 |
| Winchester | 4 |
| Salisbury | 3 |
| Warminster & Westbury | 2 |
Andover and Amesbury & Durrington
Andover's seven businesses, all licensed by Test Valley Borough Council, are Coco's Canine Creche, a day care at Weyhill; The Dogchester Hotel, Harley's Hounds, Muttrails Boarding, Sallys Dogs Tails, My Best Friend Andover and Bramble Cottage Dog Boarding and Training, all home boarders. Amesbury & Durrington's six, all licensed by Wiltshire Council, are the kennels Clearway Kennels, the day care Stones Doggy Daycare, and the home boarders Sue's Doggy Day Care & Boarding, Paws Adored Daycare and Home Boarding, Flo and Friends Pet Services and Trendy Dogs Amesbury.
Winchester and Salisbury itself
Winchester's four, all licensed by Winchester City Council, are the home boarders Sunrise Wiggles, Tina and Pals and Your PetPal, plus the day care ScenterBarks. Salisbury itself has three: the day care Cathedral View Canine Creche, the home boarder Pad and Paws, which also does day care and dog walking, and The Salisbury Dog Retreat.
Warminster & Westbury
Warminster & Westbury's two businesses are Court Lane Kennels, at Corsley near Warminster, and The Sighthound Lounge, near Westbury, which takes sighthounds only. This is the thinnest area on this page: Wiltshire Council's mirror register returned no confirmed dog boarding or day-care licences for the BA12/BA13 postcodes beyond these two, so if you are based here it is worth asking the council directly for its current list rather than assuming this is the whole market.
How these areas were worked out
An area shown here follows the postcode district a business's address, or for a home boarder its stated locality, sits 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.
If you're near the edge of an area
Salisbury's five areas follow postcode districts rather than exact boundaries, and two of them — Andover and Winchester — are administratively outside Wiltshire altogether, in Hampshire. If a nearby area shows fewer businesses than you expected, it's worth checking the areas either side of it too, or asking a business in a neighbouring area whether it also covers yours.
A number of home boarders on this page describe covering more than one area directly: Flo and Friends Pet Services says it covers Salisbury, Amesbury, Wilton and surrounding villages, and My Best Friend Andover covers Andover, Whitchurch, Stockbridge, Tidworth and Ludgershall. It is always worth asking a business whether it reaches your address even if you fall just outside the area it is listed under here.
