Can I board dogs in an apartment in Guildford?

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.

Every confirmed Petme booking, including boarding and daycare, includes £20,000 in vet protection for the dog in your care, at no cost to you or the owner.
Do I need a licence to board dogs at home in Guildford?
If you regularly host dogs overnight for payment in Guildford, you usually need a home boarding licence from Guildford Borough Council under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018. It covers a council inspection of your home and garden. Occasional daycare and walking on Petme do not need it, so check your setup with the council before you scale up boarding.
When is dog boarding busiest in Guildford?
Dog boarding in Guildford peaks around Christmas, Easter and the summer holidays, when commuter families head away and want their dog hosted in a real home rather than kennels. Half-term weeks and long bank-holiday weekends bring a second wave. Opening your calendar early for these dates in areas like Merrow and Burpham is the quickest way to stack back-to-back overnight bookings.
