Dog boarding and day care prices in Ashford and Tenterden
Prices are as the businesses published them when we last checked (September 2026). They can change without notice, so confirm them when you book.
Ten dog boarders, day cares and kennels are listed for Ashford and Tenterden, and only two of them publish a price on their own site: Ashford Pet Care and We Love Pets Ashford. The other eight quote once they know your dog's size, temperament and dates, so the figures below are a floor for what boarding and day care cost locally, not a full price list for the town.
Published prices, September 2026

| Ashford Pet Care, home boarder | Day boarding, Mon-Fri, per dog | £40 |
| Ashford Pet Care | Day and night boarding, Mon-Fri, per dog | £47 |
| Ashford Pet Care | Weekend boarding, per dog | £57 |
| We Love Pets Ashford, home boarder | Home boarding, per 24 hours, from | £45 |
| We Love Pets Ashford | Dog walk, per hour, from | £17 |
| We Love Pets Ashford | Pet visit, 20 minutes, from | £13 |
| We Love Pets Ashford | House sitting, per 24 hours, from | £80 |
Home boarding
Both businesses that publish a price are home boarders, not kennels, and their prices are not directly comparable. Ashford Pet Care, run by Suzie, charges £40 a day for weekday day boarding, £47 for day-and-night boarding, and £57 for a weekend, with Christmas Day, New Year and Easter charged at double the standard rate. We Love Pets Ashford, the local branch of the national franchise, charges from £45 per 24 hours for home boarding. Ask exactly what each price includes, and how the first and last day of a stay are counted, before comparing them.
Dog walking and other add-ons
We Love Pets Ashford is the only business here to publish prices beyond boarding: a dog walk from £17 an hour, a 20-minute pet visit from £13, and house sitting from £80 per 24 hours. None of these is a boarding price, but they show what related visits cost from a business that also boards dogs.
Everyone else
The other eight businesses listed for Ashford and Tenterden — Brook Farm Home Boarding, The Dog Lodge, Haven Boarding Kennels & Cattery, Lizzie's Dog School and Daycare, Ransley House Kennels and Cattery, Tails of the Lake, By the Bridge Home Dog Boarding and Courtfield Kennels & Cattery — do not publish a price. This is normal for this niche, and especially for the four home boarders among them, since a home boarder usually prices around the length of stay, the number of dogs from the same household and how far they need to travel; have your dates and your dog's details ready when you call. None of the prices above include extras that often apply elsewhere: bank holidays, a second dog from a different household, or collection outside normal hours are commonly charged on top, so confirm the final total before booking.
