Do i need a licence to board dogs at home in Ipswich?
If you board dogs overnight in your home as a business in Ipswich, England’s Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018 usually require a home boarding licence from Ipswich Borough Council. Occasional, low-volume sitting can sit below that threshold, so check your exact plans with the council before you scale up.

You do not need a large garden to board dogs in Ipswich, but you do need secure fencing and enough indoor room for a dog to settle and sleep comfortably.
