Fishponds, Kingswood & Longwell Green
Nine businesses cover this area, more than anywhere else in Bristol: four home boarders offering boarding only (Daly Dog Care, Dogbwd, Emma's Dog House and Fun Time with the D's), three offering both home boarding and day care (Happy Yappers, Platinum Petcare (SW) Ltd and Willsbridge Walkies), one day care only (Wag Tails Doggy Day Care), and one boarding kennels and cattery (Cottage Kennels & Cattery, near Hambrook).
Bedminster, Southville & south Bristol
Six businesses cover this area: five home boarders offering boarding without day care (Cannie Canines, Hannah Thorpe, Coco Pops Pet Services, Liza & Simba's Dog Walking & Grooming and Rips-Dips & Squirts Home Boarding), and one business that is not a home boarder, Walks with the Pack, offering both day care and boarding.
Filton & Bradley Stoke
Four businesses cover this area: two offering day care only, Precious Paws Pet-Care by Kirsty and The Dog Village, and two offering both home boarding and day care, Friends for Pets and House of Paws Bristol.
Portishead
Three businesses cover Portishead, all offering both home boarding and day care and all under North Somerset Council rather than Bristol City Council: Portishead Pet Services, We Love Pets Clevedon and Portishead, and Friends for Pets North Somerset. North Somerset's own site has no accessible public register, so any licence number shown here is what the business states about itself.
Clifton & Redland, and Keynsham
One home boarder, The Dog Retreat, covers Clifton and Redland, licensed by Bristol City Council. One boarding kennels and cattery, Latchets Kennels & Cattery, covers Keynsham, under Bath and North East Somerset Council, which also publishes no accessible register.
Bristol city centre & Harbourside: no listing yet
No business is listed for Bristol's own city centre and Harbourside, and Bristol City Council's own register agrees: nothing there is licensed either. A crowded central postcode with little private garden space is the likely explanation, rather than a gap in this site's research.
