Dog boarding and day care prices in Cardiff
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-four dog boarders, day cares and kennels are listed for Cardiff, and only seven of them publish a price on their own site or page: Doggie Day Camp Cardiff, Fran's Happy Hounds, PontK9, Danescourt & Radyr Pet Care, Fur Baby Services, The Boarding Centre Cardiff Kennels & Cattery, and Canis DayCare. 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 town.

Home boarding runs from about £30 to £58 a day
Among the home boarders who publish a rate, a single dog costs somewhere between £30 and £45 for 24 hours, with PontK9's £58 solo rate the exception for owners who want their dog boarded alone rather than alongside another family's pet. A second dog from the same household is usually cheaper: £20 with Fran's Happy Hounds, £26 with PontK9. None of the seventeen home boarders listed for Cardiff publish a price for a single night rather than a full 24-hour period, so ask how the first and last day of a longer stay are counted before comparing two quotes.
Day care runs from about £20 to £35 a full day
A full day of day care costs from £28 to £35 among the businesses that publish a rate, with a half day roughly two-thirds of that. Canis DayCare and Doggie Day Camp Cardiff both charge more for late or short-notice bookings than for one arranged in advance, and Canis DayCare's £3.50 mud-off wash is the only named add-on price found in this research round. Nothing here covers boarding kennels overnight for a full week or a Bank Holiday surcharge; ask each business directly, since none of the Cardiff businesses researched published a multi-night or holiday rate.
For the seventeen home boarders and boarding kennels not listed above, no price is published anywhere the research for this town could find, so ring or message them directly with your dog's size, the dates you need and whether it is boarding or day care, and ask them to quote before you compare.
