We could verify six Pembrokeshire dog boarding centres: each has its own website, a Google Maps listing with at least eight reviews and an entry on Pembrokeshire County Council’s list of current animal establishment licences, or a licence number on its own site naming the council. Three are kennels, two are licensed home boarders, and Ridgecroft is a cattery and daycare with a separate home boarding entry on the list. We haven’t visited any of them, so treat this as a shortlist to meet, and ask to see the licence before you book. The council’s list shows no licence numbers or expiry dates. A daycare-only licence isn’t boarding evidence, so we’ve kept the two lists apart, and we have written up daycare in our Pembrokeshire daycare guide.
Boarding centres with a website, a licence we could see and a Google Maps listing
Millin Brook Luxury Dog Boarding
★★★★★ 5.0 · 220 Google reviews
Wiston, near Haverfordwest (SA62)
Licence: the council’s list (page revised 11 November 2026) shows Millin Brook Luxury Dog Boarding twice, once for kennels (Award Winner) and once for home boarding (Award Winner and Home Boarder). The list shows no number or expiry date, and its website shows no licence number or council, so ask for both. We matched it by name and postcode area. Its Google Maps listing shows its own site, millinbrook.co.uk, as its website, alongside a separate link to a booking software page

The council’s list shows Llanstinan Home Farm in Letterston as an Award Winner, which matches the postcode area on Google Maps. We matched it by name and postcode.

Landsker Paws (home boarding)
★★★★★ 5.0 · 33 Google reviews
Canaston Bridge, near Narberth (SA67)
Licence: its website says "Fully licensed as a Home Boarder Award Winner by Pembrokeshire County Council, no AB111/23". The council’s list shows Landsker Paws as an Award Winner but gives no numbers, so we couldn’t compare it, and it shows no expiry date. Ask to see the current licence

★★★★★ 4.9 · 16 Google reviews
Cosheston, near Pembroke Dock (SA72)
Licence: its website shows "Licence No. AB 120/26" and names no council. The council’s list shows Cosheston Dog Services as a Home Boarder and Award Winner in the same postcode area, with no number or expiry date. We matched it by name and place, so ask for the current licence and its expiry date

Website · View on Google Maps
Ratings and review counts are from Google Maps on 14 November 2026 and come from the public. We haven’t checked them independently. "Award Winner" is the council’s own awards scheme for well-run licensed premises, not a licence number. For home boarders we give the area only.
Listings we left out, and why
These centres didn’t make the verified list. Being left out doesn’t mean a centre is unlicensed. It means we couldn’t tick every box, so ask it directly.
- No website we could use: Clwb Boarding Kennels near Newcastle Emlyn (4.9 from 62) is on the council’s list as an Award Winner, but the website on its Google Maps listing is a Facebook page only. Nash Mountain Boarding Kennels (4.5 from 16), Broadlane Kennels near Kilgetty (4.8 from 38) and Home from Home Pembrokeshire (4.9 from 19) are on the list but show no website on Google Maps, so none meets our own-website rule. Fallowfield Home Boarding (13 reviews) and Happy Hounds & Horses (17) show no website on Google Maps.
- Too few reviews: Dogsbody Home Boarding (5.0 from 5) has fewer than eight reviews.
- Not clearly a boarding centre: The Paw Path in Whitland (5.0 from 30) says it is fully licensed but names no council, isn’t on the council’s list under that name, and offers in-home overnight stays and pet sitting rather than boarding, so we haven’t treated it as a boarding centre. SPPOT (19) is listed on Google Maps as a non-profit organisation whose website blocks our reading tools, so we couldn’t confirm it boards dogs overnight.
- Checked as daycare only: Cotton’s Creche, Happy Paws Daycare and Bark Parc are marked as daycare on the list, which isn’t boarding evidence.
- Catteries: Cross Inn Cattery and Foxcombe Cats Hotel appear to be cat boarders, and we leave out catteries.
- On the council’s list but not found on Google Maps: We searched Google Maps for Pawz Tours, Fit Dogs Pembrokeshire, Skyber Pet Care, Westhill Grove, Pawfect Pet Sitters, Heritage Home Boarding, Dinky Dogs, Nanny McFur, Hounds Hotel and Happy Paws in Hakin, which are home boarders on the council’s list, and didn’t find a clear listing with a website and reviews, so other licensed home boarders may exist. We didn’t search Rover.
How to check a dog boarding licence in Pembrokeshire
In Wales, boarding dogs for other people as a business is covered by the Animal Boarding Establishments Act 1963, which works through licences from the local council. The Welsh Government’s 2021 licensing regulations cover selling animals as pets, so they don’t apply here. Pembrokeshire County Council is the single licensing council for the whole county. Its animal boarding establishment page says anyone running a business providing accommodation for other people’s cats or dogs must first get a licence from the council, in a kennel or in a home boarding situation, and it links separate conditions documents for commercial dog boarding and for home boarding. The council also publishes a list of current animal establishment licences (revised 11 November 2026), which names businesses and marks Award Winners and Home Boarders but shows no licence numbers or expiry dates. To check a centre, ask it to show its licence, what it covers and its expiry date, or contact the council’s animal health and welfare team through its website. If a number on a website differs from what the council tells you, go by the council and ask the centre which is current.
What to ask before you book
Ask to see the licence, its number and its expiry date. Ask how many dogs are boarded at once, whether your dog will have their own kennel or room, who is on site overnight, how often dogs are walked or let out, and what happens if your dog is unwell, including which vet the centre uses. Check what vaccinations it asks for, which may include kennel cough, and read our guide to kennel cough in dogs. Ask for a visit first and whether your dog can have a trial day. For home boarders, ask where your dog will sleep, who else lives there and whether other dogs stay at the same time.
A kennel stay can unsettle a sensitive dog. A calming bite is a complementary feed some owners use around change, and if your dog struggles with being left, speak to your vet or a qualified behaviourist first.

Frequently Asked Questions
How did you choose these Pembrokeshire dog boarding centres?
Each has its own website, a Google Maps listing with at least eight reviews and a licence we could see, either an entry on Pembrokeshire County Council’s list of current animal establishment licences or a licence number on its own site naming the council. We checked Google Maps and the council’s list on 14 November 2026. We haven’t visited any of them, so meet any centre first.
Does a dog boarding kennel need a licence in Pembrokeshire?
In Wales, boarding dogs for other people as a business needs a council licence under the Animal Boarding Establishments Act 1963, whether in kennels or a home. In Pembrokeshire that is Pembrokeshire County Council. Ask to see the licence, its number and its expiry date.
What should I ask a boarding kennel before booking?
Ask for the licence, how many dogs stay at once, whether your dog has their own kennel, who is on site overnight, and what happens if a dog is unwell. Ask to visit first.
Why are some Pembrokeshire kennels on the council’s list missing here?
The council’s list names more boarders than we could verify. Some have only a Facebook page or no website on Google Maps, some have fewer than eight reviews, some are daycare or cat boarders, and some we couldn’t match to a Google Maps listing. A centre being left out doesn’t mean it is unlicensed, so ask it directly or contact the council’s licensing team.
