Dog boarding and day care in Tamworth and Lichfield, area by area
Tamworth, Lichfield and Rugeley & Burntwood's eleven listed dog boarders, kennels and day cares are spread across three areas, matched to postcode districts: Tamworth (B77, B78, B79), Lichfield (WS13, WS14) and Rugeley & Burntwood (WS15, WS7). Every area listed here currently has at least one business, though the mix of home boarding, day care and kennels is different in each.
Tamworth (B77, B78, B79)
Tamworth has five listed businesses: two home boarders, Auntie Amie's Dog Walking and Pet Services and Bark N Bunk, and three day cares, Best Friends Doggy Day Care, Classic Canines Day Care and Where'z Wally Dog Grooming & Doggy Day Care Ltd, all three of which also offer grooming alongside day care. All five are licensed by Tamworth Borough Council, whose licence facts are read here from a third-party mirror rather than a council-run register.
Lichfield (WS13, WS14)
Lichfield has two listed businesses, Grove Kennels Ltd and Brookfields Luxury Boarding, both purpose-built boarding kennels licensed by Lichfield District Council. Grove Kennels, at Whittington Hurst, offers viewings by appointment; Brookfields, a 28-room centre at Little Hay, adds its own grooming service and a dog taxi and collection round. Neither a home boarder nor a day care is currently listed for this area, so anyone in Lichfield wanting either would need to look towards Tamworth or Rugeley & Burntwood instead.
Rugeley & Burntwood (WS15, WS7)
Rugeley & Burntwood has four listed businesses: two home boarders, Absolute Pet Care and My Best Friend Dog Care, and two boarding kennels, Edial Boarding Kennels & Cattery and Old Barn Kennels. All four are licensed by Lichfield District Council and sit on the Burntwood side of the area; Cannock Chase District Council, which licenses Rugeley village itself, has no business currently listed here, since its own register gives no address for almost any of its licence holders and none could be placed in Rugeley with confidence. If you live in or near Rugeley itself rather than Burntwood, it is worth asking any Cannock Chase-licensed business you find elsewhere exactly where it is based.
On a postcode boundary
If your postcode sits close to the edge of one of these three districts, it is worth checking the businesses listed in the neighbouring area too, since a boarder or kennels a few miles into the next postcode district may still be a shorter drive than one further inside your own.
Looking by service instead
If you'd rather compare by what a business offers than by area, see our day care or boarding guide and our home boarding or kennels guide.
Checking the area, not just the town name
"Tamworth and Lichfield" on this site covers all three areas together, so a search for a Tamworth boarder is also worth widening to Lichfield or Rugeley & Burntwood if the nearest option in your own area is fully booked or doesn't suit your dog.
