Dog boarding and day care prices in Brighton
Prices are as the businesses published them when we last checked (September 2026). They can change without notice, so confirm them when you book.
Seventeen dog day care, home boarding and kennel businesses are listed for Brighton, Hove and the surrounding villages, and only one of them, Little Bones in Southwick, publishes a price on its own site. Everyone else quotes once they know your dog's size, temperament and dates, so the figure below is a single data point, not a price list for the town.
Published price, September 2026
| Business | Service | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Little Bones, day care for small dogs, Southwick | Weekday day (approx. 10 hours), or part of | £27 |
Day care
Little Bones runs day care for small dogs only, taking a maximum of eight dogs a day in a fully enclosed, double-gated garden in Southwick, with drop-off from 7.30am to 9am and pick-up from 5pm to 6.30pm on weekdays. A full weekday day, or part of one, is priced at approximately £27; the business's own site does not break this figure down further by dog size or by half day and full day, so this is the only price that can be confirmed here.
Overnight boarding and home boarding
None of the other sixteen businesses listed — fifteen home boarders and one boarding kennels and cattery, Benwick Kennels & Cattery near Peacehaven — publish a price for an overnight stay or a night in a home boarder's house. This is normal for home boarding especially: a home boarder usually prices around the length of stay, the number of dogs from the same household, and sometimes how far they need to travel for a first meeting, so have your dates and your dog's details ready when you call.
What is likely to affect the price
Even without published boarding figures here, the general pattern across this kind of business is that price depends mainly on the size of the dog and the length of the stay. Extras that are commonly charged on top elsewhere — and worth asking about here, since none of these seventeen businesses states its position in writing — include bank holidays, collection or drop-off, and a second dog from a different household boarding at the same time. Ask each business to confirm exactly what its quote includes before you book.
Everyone else
Sixteen of the seventeen businesses listed for Brighton do not publish a price of any kind: all six Brighton city centre home boarders, all three Hove home boarders, both Woodingdean and Rottingdean home boarders, the one Patcham home boarder, Sticks and Tricks in Portslade and Southwick, and all three Lewes District Council businesses, Mystery Paws, Benwick Kennels & Cattery and Waves & Waggy Tails. Call each one directly with your dog's size, breed, temperament and dates, and ask for a written quote before you book.
