Where overnight boarding demand clusters across Crawley
The steadiest boarding demand in Crawley comes from the family suburbs, so Maidenbower and Pound Hill tend to lead with owners who go away on holidays and long work trips. Three Bridges stays busy off the back of its mainline station and the commuters who use it, while Broadfield, Tilgate and Ifield add a regular run of shorter stays. Holding two or three neighbouring areas keeps your calendar fuller than chasing bookings across the whole town.

What is the difference between dog boarding and doggy daycare?
Boarding is overnight, billed per night, while the owner travels. Daycare is daytime only, billed per day, for owners at work. You can offer either or both and set a separate rate for each.

Do I need a licence to board dogs at home in Crawley?
Boarding dogs at home in Crawley for profit needs a licence from Crawley Borough Council under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018. The threshold is set by scale, so it is worth checking with the council before you take on regular overnight guests. Occasional daycare and drop-ins are treated differently.
Do I need a garden to take dog boarding bookings in Crawley?
A garden helps for dog boarding in Crawley but it is not essential, since plenty of owners are happy with a home near Tilgate Park or Ifield for walks instead. Secure outdoor space and a settled routine matter most, and you can set your profile to smaller or calmer dogs if your place suits them better.
