When you book a licensed boarder (an individual or business licensed by the local authority to board animals), you are getting a service provider who has been vetted for animal welfare standards, ensuring they meet legal requirements and have passed inspections for animal care, safety, and welfare.

This license offers peace of mind that the home environment has been assessed by a local authority and will adhere to regulations concerning animal housing, exercise, health, and emergencies.

✅ Valid insurance
✅ Home Inspection for safety
✅ Limits on number of dogs
✅ Safety & Emergency procedures
✅ Training checked
✅ Imposed essential standards of practice (eg vaccination checking, health monitoring, vet liaison, first aid, exercise, enrichment, supervision, eating, record keeping… etc)
✅ Peace of mind
