Questions you'd ask if your dog could.

What is a council animal-activity licence?+

Under the 2018 DEFRA Animal Welfare Regulations, every commercial dog daycare and boarding business in England must hold a council-issued animal-activity licence. The council inspects the premises, checks insurance and qualifications, and awards a star rating from 1 to 5. We surface that public data on every listing - no other UK directory does.

How is this different from Rover or Pawshake?+

Those platforms list anyone who signs up. We only list businesses with a verified council licence, and we show the licence number and star rating on the profile. Reviews are verified-booking only. There are no inflated marketing claims and no commission-driven matching - your enquiry goes direct.

Is it free to list my dog care business?+

Yes. Listing is free for council-licensed businesses. Verified listings get a permanent profile, a council-licensed badge, and direct enquiries from local owners. We don't take a commission or referral fee.

How do I know the reviews are real?+

Only customers who booked through the directory or had their booking confirmed by the business can leave a verified review. Every review carries a visible 'verified booking' badge with the service used and visit date.

How do I contact a business?+

Every profile has a contact form that goes straight to the business. No middleman, no cut, no inflated quotes. You can also visit their website or call the listed number directly.
