Dog boarding and day care in Stevenage, area by area
Stevenage's ten areas run from the town's own estates out into North Hertfordshire's market towns and villages, and this directory's nine dog boarding, day-care and home-boarding businesses sit unevenly across them. Baldock holds nearly half of the nine; six areas currently have none at all.
These ten areas follow postcode districts rather than exact boundaries: Stevenage Old Town and the town centre, Bedwell & Pin Green both sit in SG1, Broadwater & Symonds Green spans SG1 and SG2, Chells & Great Ashby also spans SG1 and SG2, Shephall, Longmeadow & Manor is SG2, Knebworth & Woolmer Green is SG3, Hitchin is SG4 and SG5, Letchworth Garden City is SG6, Baldock is SG7, and Welwyn & Welwyn Garden City is AL6 and AL7.
Chells & Great Ashby
Little Dave and Charlie and We Love Pets Stevenage, both home boarders, make up this area's two businesses.
Shephall, Longmeadow & Manor
TopDog, a home boarder with a secure garden, is the only listed business here.
Hitchin
We Love Pets Hitchin, a franchise branch, and Wagalot Dogs, run by Carol Hanson by appointment, make up this area's two businesses.
Baldock
This is the strongest area on this page, with four businesses: Country Boarding Kennels and Sentabarcs, both kennels and day-care sites, and K9 Interaction and Happy Waggy Tails, both home boarders.
The six areas with nothing listed
Stevenage Old Town, Stevenage town centre, Bedwell & Pin Green, Broadwater & Symonds Green, Knebworth & Woolmer Green, Letchworth Garden City and Welwyn & Welwyn Garden City all have no business currently listed. This is a genuine gap in what could be confirmed with a working phone number, not a sign that nothing operates there: Stevenage Borough Council's own register gives only a postcode for most of its home boarders, not a street address, so several could not be placed confidently in one area rather than a neighbouring one, and register entries were found for both Broadwater & Symonds Green and Welwyn without a phone number that could be verified this round. If you are near one of these areas, it is worth calling Stevenage Borough Council, North Hertfordshire District Council or Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council directly for its current list of licensed boarders.
How these areas were worked out
An area shown here follows the postcode district a business's own site, Facebook page or the relevant council's register places it in. Every business shown also has a confirmed phone number, so the counts above only include businesses that could actually be reached, not every name found in research.
