Barking Mad Southampton
Home boarding from £33.50/day and day care from £20, city centre
About
Barking Mad Southampton is the local franchise of the national Barking Mad host-family network, run by Diane Lewis and covering the city centre, Shirley, Bassett, Portswood, Bitterne and neighbouring areas. Rather than boarding dogs at one address, it matches them with vetted local host families. Published prices include home boarding from £33.50 a day for one dog and £50 for two, day care from £20 for four hours, and dog walking from £10 for 30 minutes. Southampton City Council keeps no public licensing register; the business's own listings state a home boarding licence number, self-reported rather than council-confirmed.
