Dog boarding and day care in Durham and Chester-le-Street, area by area
The fourteen dog boarders, day cares and kennels listed for Durham and Chester-le-Street are spread unevenly across the page's seven areas. This guide lists exactly what is published in each, and says plainly where coverage is thin.
| Area | Businesses listed |
|---|---|
| Durham city | 2 |
| Chester-le-Street | 1 |
| Durham villages & Brandon | 1 |
| Consett | 1 |
| Stanley | 5 |
| Spennymoor & Crook | 3 |
| Ferryhill | 1 |
All seven areas have at least one listed business; none is without coverage, though four of the seven have only one each.
Area boundaries here follow postcode districts rather than parish lines, so a business sitting just outside one of these seven areas, in a neighbouring part of County Durham, will not appear on this page even if it is close by; the same seven-area split is used throughout this site's Durham and Chester-le-Street pages.
Durham city
Two businesses are listed here, both boarding kennels with a cattery alongside: Shincliffe Mill Kennels and Cattery, in Shincliffe, which takes viewings by appointment only, and Dovecote Farm Boarding Kennels and Cattery, in Brasside, closed all day Wednesday.
Chester-le-Street: thin
Only one business is listed here, Walk The Line Dog Walking and Pet Care, a home boarder and dog walker covering Chester-le-Street and the surrounding DH2 and DH3 postcode areas.
Durham villages & Brandon: thin
Only one business is listed here, Lanchester Pet Resort, a boarding kennels and cattery in Lanchester licensed for up to 40 dogs and 15 cats.
Consett: thin
Only one business is listed here, Day Care 4 Paws, which publishes a full day-care price list alongside grooming and dog walking.
Stanley: the most choice
Five businesses are listed here, the most of any area on this page: Tendercare Boarding Kennels and Cattery Ltd and Fondley Sett Farm, both boarding kennels with a cattery, in Annfield Plain and Dipton respectively; Greencroft Dog Day Care Limited, also in Annfield Plain; Day School of Dogs, in South Moor, which combines day care with structured training; and Petsercise, in Tantobie, which offers day care, training, grooming, hydrotherapy and home boarding under one brand.
Spennymoor & Crook
Three businesses are listed here: Hunwick Boarding Kennels, near Crook, the only business on this whole page to publish an overnight price; Cooper's Creche Limited, in Spennymoor, which runs day care alongside a wider pet-sitting round; and Willington Pet Services, a home boarder covering Willington, near Crook.
Ferryhill: thin
Only one business is listed here, Mahon House Kennels and Cattery, whose licence is held by Saints Sled Dog Rescue, a dog rescue charity that runs the same site alongside its paid boarding service. If nothing listed here suits your dates or your dog, it is worth widening your search to a neighbouring town page.
