Dog boarding and day care in Swindon, area by area
Swindon's eight areas hold this directory's 29 dog boarding, day-care and home-boarding businesses unevenly. Swindon town centre and Haydon Wick between them hold 13 of the 29; Marlborough & Ramsbury has only one.
Swindon town centre
All eight businesses shown under Swindon town centre are there as a fallback, not because they are necessarily based in the centre itself: Swindon Borough Council's home-boarding register pages never publish a street address or even a suburb for a home boarder, and no other source gave one either. Seven are home boarders — Cary's Canines, Chaz and Chums, Courtney's Pet Care Service, It's A Dogs Life, Wessex Dog Boarding, Four Paws Dog Boarding and Swindon Happy Paws — and the eighth, Rocco's Retreat, runs boarding kennels. All eight are genuine, phone-verified, licensed businesses, just not confidently placeable in one of the town's other seven named areas.
Haydon Wick and Royal Wootton Bassett & Wroughton
Haydon Wick's five businesses include the home boarders A Helping Paw, Bark'N Stay, We Love Pets Swindon and Pooch'n'Pals, and the day-care centre Doggy Day Care & Grooming Swindon. Royal Wootton Bassett & Wroughton's four include the home boarder Nythe Farm Home Boarding and three fixed-site kennels: Flaxlands Kennels & Cattery, Goldborough House Kennels & Cattery and Red Lodge Canine Country Club.
Old Town, West Swindon, Highworth and Stratton
Old Town's three are all home boarders: Scruffs Doggy Day Care, Charlie's Pet Care and Happy Home for Hounds. West Swindon has the home boarders Lydiard Paws and Betts Pets, plus the fixed-site Braydon Dogs. Highworth, Cricklade & Shrivenham has the kennels Droveway Kennels and Chogs, plus the home boarder Highworth Pet Care. Stratton has two home boarders, Badbury Pet Adventures and TLC Pet Sitting.
Marlborough & Ramsbury: the thinnest area
Marlborough & Ramsbury has only one confirmed business, the fixed-site Dukesmead Boarding Kennels & Cattery at Ogbourne St George. A second business was found on Wiltshire Council's register for this area but excluded because no phone number could be confirmed for it after searching. If you are looking in this area, it is worth calling Wiltshire Council directly and asking for its current list of licensed boarders.
How these areas were worked out
Where a business publishes its own address, a village name or appears on a council register with a placeable location, it is shown under the matching area; where none of these gave enough to place it, it sits under the Swindon town-centre fallback instead of a guessed location. 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.
