Most municipalites have licensing requirements for kennels operating within city limits, and they cannot be operated in a residential setting. Boarding kennels differ from offering "home style boarding" to a select number of clients. If the boarding is intermittent, and there are not more than a couple of animals being boarded, you may be exempt from requiring a kennel license. Some municipalities, however, require you hold a business license as a pet sitter. Check with your local city hall or licensing office for details.

If there are any concerns whatsoever, contact your local city hall, or contact ACPSN to do it for you.
