Why licensed matters
Every kennel we contact holds a council licence.
In England, anyone who boards dogs as a business must be licensed by their local council under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) (England) Regulations 2018. The council inspects the premises, and we only contact kennels that hold a licence.
Council star ratings
When a council inspects a licensed kennel it can give 1 to 5 stars. More stars mean higher welfare standards and lower risk, and higher-rated kennels typically get longer licences.
Every kennel we contact holds a licence whatever its stars. Where a council doesn't publish a rating, we show “Licensed”.

How it works for kennels
FAQ
Questions people ask
Quick answers about using KennelFinder and choosing a kennel.
What is KennelFinder?
A free service that finds boarding kennel space for your dog. You tell us your dates once, we ask council-licensed kennels near you, and we show you who has space so you don't have to ring round.
How does it work?
Enter your postcode, dates and dog details. We show you the suitable licensed kennels within a distance you choose (10, 20 or 30 km) with their photos and council ratings. The best matches are ticked for you and you can change the ticks. We then send each ticked kennel a short enquiry, after we have checked it. Kennels reply with whether they have space and their price, and you see the replies together on your results page.
Is it free?
Yes. KennelFinder is free for dog owners.
Do you book the kennel for me?
No. You choose a kennel from your results and contact them directly to confirm and book. The kennel will usually want to check your dog's details and vaccinations first.
How quickly will I hear back?
Many kennels reply within a few hours, and we email you as soon as the first one has space. Requests stay open for 48 hours, after which we send you a summary.
Which areas do you cover?
We currently cover Maidenhead and roughly 30 km around it, including parts of Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Surrey and Oxfordshire. We're expanding across the South East.
