The Board Walkers

The Board Walkers is licensed by Kirklees Council for dog home boarding in Shelley. The council's most recent inspection awarded it 5 stars out of 5.

That puts it in the 71% of West Yorkshire licensed businesses rated 4 stars or above (65 of 91).

Its licence runs to 12 September 2028. Longer licence terms are awarded to higher-rated operators, which is why a distant expiry date is usually a good sign in itself.

We found no entry for this business on the ICO register of fee payers. That is common for sole traders and is not necessarily a failing, but a business holding your address and door key would normally be expected to be registered.

Under the star rating scheme a 5-star operator qualifies for a licence of up to 3 years and correspondingly fewer unannounced inspections, so the rating affects how often the council will look in as well as what it thought at the last visit.

Kirklees Council publishes an address for this licence, which is set out in full below.

We have not been able to identify a website for The Board Walkers. Many licensed operators of this size trade through word of mouth, a marketplace profile, or a social media page rather than a site of their own.

We last read Kirklees Council's register 4 months ago, so treat the expiry date in particular as indicative rather than current.

Licence record

This page reproduces factual entries from public registers. It is not a review, a recommendation, or an endorsement, and we have no commercial relationship with the businesses listed. Council star ratings are the licensing authority's assessment of risk and compliance, not a measure of service quality. If anything here is wrong or you would like your entry removed, see our privacy page — we act on requests without argument.

• Local authority animal activity licence registers — English local authorities. Factual fields extracted from each council's published public register: trading name, licence number, licensable activity, star rating and expiry date. Where a council redacts an address — as they routinely do for home boarders operating from a residential address — the record is kept without a location and never geolocated by inference. Licence: Open Government Licence v3.0. Refreshed 1 August 2026.
• Postcode geography — Office for National Statistics / Ordnance Survey, via postcodes.io. Postcodes already published in council registers are resolved to a parish or ward and coordinates. Only postcodes the council itself published are looked up. Licence: Open Government Licence v3.0. Refreshed 1 August 2026.
• Licence details are republished from the Kirklees Council public register under the Open Government Licence.
• Companies House and ICO entries are matched by trading name and corroborated by location; unconfirmed matches are not published.
