Dog boarding and day care prices in Bury St Edmunds and Newmarket
Prices are as the businesses published them when we last checked (September 2026). They can change without notice, so confirm them when you book.
Twenty-seven dog boarders, day cares and kennels are listed for Bury St Edmunds and Newmarket, and only eight of them publish a price on their own site: The Dog Hotel Whepstead, We Love Pets Bury St Edmunds, Doggie Daydreamz, Phoenix House Home Boarding, Church Farm Boarding Kennels & Cattery, Lindcoly Kennels & Cattery, Mischief Doggy Day Care Centre and Winterbrooke Boarding and Day Kennels. The rest 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 area.

Overnight boarding
Four businesses publish an overnight figure, and they are not directly comparable. Winterbrooke Boarding and Day Kennels, near Hockwold, charges £16 a night for a single dog, rising to £53 for four dogs sharing one kennel; Church Farm Boarding Kennels & Cattery, near Kenny Hill, starts at £16 a night for a dog and £10 for a cat. Those two are purpose-built kennels. The Dog Hotel Whepstead and Phoenix House Home Boarding are home boarders instead, where your dog lives in the boarder's own house rather than a kennel run: The Dog Hotel Whepstead charges £40 for a day stay or an overnight stay, and Phoenix House charges £37.50 for an overnight or full-day stay. Ask exactly what each price includes, and how the first and last day of a stay are counted, before comparing them.
Day care
Three businesses publish a day care price: Doggie Daydreamz, run from a converted barn near Stowmarket, charges £30; Mischief Doggy Day Care Centre, on the Mildenhall Industrial Estate, charges from £30; and Phoenix House Home Boarding, near Diss, charges £32.50 for day care running 8am to 6pm.
Extras from businesses that also board dogs
We Love Pets Bury St Edmunds, a home boarding and dog-walking franchise branch, publishes prices beyond boarding: £21 for an hour's dog walk, £19 for a 30-minute pet visit and £100 a night for house sitting. Lindcoly Kennels & Cattery, near Freckenham, publishes a microchipping price of £16 alongside its boarding, grooming and small breeding operation. None of these are boarding prices on their own, but they show what these businesses charge for related services.
Everyone else
The other nineteen dog boarders, day cares and kennels listed for Bury St Edmunds and Newmarket, including six of the town's eight home boarders and ten of its fourteen kennels, do not publish a price. This is normal for the niche: a home boarder in particular usually prices around the length of stay, the number of dogs from the same household and how far it needs to travel, so have your dates and dog's details ready when you call. None of the prices above include extras that often apply elsewhere: bank holidays, collection, or a second dog from a different household are commonly charged on top, so confirm the final total before booking.
