Questions.

How do I filter and search the directory?+

You can filter by service (walking, daycare, boarding, training, grooming), city, dog size, council licence status, and capability (insurance, DBS, secured garden, webcam). All filters stack, so you can narrow down to exactly what your dog needs.

What does council licensed mean?+

Under the 2018 DEFRA Animal Welfare Regulations, any commercial dog daycare or boarding business in England must hold an animal-activity licence from its local council. 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.

How do I get my dog care business listed?+

Use the Submit form to add your business. We verify the council licence (where applicable) and add you to the directory. Listing is free and we take no commission - enquiries go straight to you.

Are reviews verified?+

Yes. Only customers with a confirmed booking can leave a review. Every review shows the service used and the visit date. We don't allow anonymous reviews or reviews from accounts without a booking history.
