Pet boarding and kennels: the basics
What the job involves
Kennels and catteries board pets while you are away; home boarders look after dogs in their own home. All must be licensed by the local council in England and the licence star rating is a useful guide. Visit beforehand and check the pens, exercise areas and how often animals are checked.
What to ask a pro, and what to have ready
Book early for school holidays and Christmas. Ask to see the licence, what vaccinations are required, how often dogs are exercised, what food is used, what happens if your pet is ill, and about collection and drop-off times.
Safety and good to know
Boarding without a licence is an offence in England; a licensed business should be happy to show it. LincsDirectory doesn't vet or endorse businesses — always check credentials and get a written quote.
Good to know
a trial night helps anxious dogs settle before a longer stay. Bring your pet's usual food and bedding, and leave a contact for your vet and someone local who can make decisions in an emergency. Catteries should keep cats from different households apart.

What vaccinations do kennels require?
Most require up-to-date core vaccinations and many also ask for kennel cough vaccination a couple of weeks before boarding. Check the kennel's policy when you book.
