Dog day care and boarding in Crawley, area by area
Crawley's eleven listed dog day cares, boarding kennels and home boarders are spread unevenly across the town's five defined areas, licensed across two different councils. This guide lists exactly what is published in each; see our council licences guide for the detail behind each licence mentioned below.
| Area | Businesses listed |
|---|---|
| Crawley town centre & Three Bridges | 1 |
| Ifield & Bewbush | 1 |
| East Grinstead | 2 |
| Haywards Heath | 5 |
| Burgess Hill | 2 |
Crawley town centre & Three Bridges (RH10)
One business is listed here, in the area licensed by Crawley Borough Council: Sit and Stay Sussex (Nicky's Pet Minding), offering day care and home boarding since 2019. It is not confirmed against Crawley Borough Council's register mirror in this research pass, and it currently says it cannot take on any more dogs for the foreseeable future, so ask about a waiting list.
Ifield & Bewbush (RH11)
One business is listed here, the thinnest area on this page, also licensed by Crawley Borough Council: Bulldog Holidays, a bulldog-specialist boarding kennels at Ifield Wood, run by owners with over 30 years of experience with the breed. No day care or general home boarding business with a confirmed phone number was found in this area during research; the nearest listed alternatives are in Crawley town centre & Three Bridges or Haywards Heath.
East Grinstead (RH19)
Two businesses are listed here, both in the area licensed by Mid Sussex District Council: The Doghouse, running day care from a 50-acre estate near Felbridge with its own 7-acre lake, licensed for up to 20 day-care dogs and confirmed against the council register; and Vanity Fur West Hoathly, a home boarder near West Hoathly where dogs stay alongside the owners' own two dogs, not confirmed against the register in this research pass.
Haywards Heath (RH16, RH17)
Five businesses are listed here, the most of any area on this page, all in the Mid Sussex District Council area: Cherry Tree Kennels & Cattery, a boarding kennels and cattery near Balcombe; Happy Dayz Dogs, day care on Slugwash Lane since 2020; Bonnie's House, a home boarder for dogs up to 15kg; We Love Pets Haywards Heath, a franchise branch offering home boarding, day care and dog walking; and The Dogfather, day care on a three-acre fenced site in nearby Bolney with a dog taxi service. Four of the five are confirmed against the council register; only Bonnie's House is not.
Burgess Hill (RH15)
Two businesses are listed here, both confirmed against Mid Sussex District Council's register: Go Barking, offering home boarding and day care from £32 a day, and Peppa's Pooch Playhouse, a husband-and-wife home boarding and day care business covering Burgess Hill, Haywards Heath and the surrounding villages.
Every one of Crawley's five areas has at least one listed business; none has none, though Ifield & Bewbush and Crawley town centre & Three Bridges have only one each, so a search there may need to widen to a neighbouring area.
