How Stockport's councils license dog boarders
Fourteen dog boarders, day cares and kennels are listed for Stockport, and they answer to two different councils: Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council, covering Reddish & Marple and Cheadle & Gatley, and High Peak Borough Council, in Derbyshire, covering Glossop & Hadfield, Buxton, Chapel-en-le-Frith & Whaley Bridge and New Mills & Hayfield. No star rating is shown for any of the fourteen businesses on this page, for two different reasons set out below.

Stockport's own register: no star field at all
Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council runs its own online licensing search, and gives a licence number and expiry date for each of the five businesses matched to it here: Riverside Country Kennels & Cattery and Castle Croft Boarding Kennels & Cattery, both licensed to October 2026; Shannon K9 Control, also to October 2026; Aussie Dog Care, to February 2028; and Cheadle Pet Care, to September 2027. The register itself does not carry a star-rating field at all, for any business, so none is shown here even where a business's own site quotes one. Daisy Bank Boarding Kennels, also in the Cheadle & Gatley area, could not be matched to a specific entry on the register in the wards checked this round, so no licence details are shown for it; ask to see a current licence when you call.
High Peak's register: read from a mirror, not the council directly
High Peak Borough Council's own register is published as a document that could not be read directly for this page. The eight High Peak-licensed businesses here are recorded from animal-licensing.uk, an independently run mirror of the council's own licence decisions. Because this is a mirror rather than the council's own page, no star rating from it is shown on any of these eight listings, only the licence number where the mirror gives one, such as Mount View Kennels and Cattery Ltd's and Oakfields Dog Boarding's.
What that means for you
Every one of the fourteen businesses here except Daisy Bank Boarding Kennels has a licence confirmed against a register or its mirror, which is a genuine legal check: dog boarding, home boarding and day care are all licensed activities in England, and a council can refuse or revoke a licence if a business falls below standard. The absence of a star rating on this page reflects what each source actually shows, not a mark against any business; ask to see the current certificate when you call, and contact the relevant council directly if a star rating matters to your decision.
