Anyone who wishes to carry our home boarding, day care or commercial boarding for dogs and/or cats must hold a valid licence. This licence may set out a number of conditions to secure the wellbeing of the animals. 

Application process

  • complete an application form

  • provide relevant requested policies and procedures

Once an application has been received, a council officer will arrange to inspect the premises to ensure its suitability.

Following a successful inspection and payment, a star rating will be given determining the length of licence granted.
