Dog boarding and day care prices in Derby
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 Derby, and only five of them publish a price on their own site: Furbelicious Paws, Doggy Daycare/Play Centre Derby, We Love Paws, Hound Dog Haven and Pet Walk N Stay. 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, overnight
Three of the five businesses that publish a price quote for overnight home boarding, and the figures are not directly comparable, since none of these is a kennels: We Love Paws, a franchise-style arranger covering Derby, Mickleover and Littleover, charges £45 per 24 hours; Hound Dog Haven, a home boarder in the Ilkeston area, charges £30 a day for one dog or £40 a day for two dogs from the same household; and Pet Walk N Stay, also in the Ilkeston area, charges £15 for an overnight stay or £40 for day care with an overnight stay included. Ask exactly what each price includes, and how the first and last day of a stay are counted, before comparing them. None of Derby's boarding kennels or cattery businesses publish an overnight rate.
Day care
Doggy Daycare/Play Centre Derby publishes £26 for a full day and £17 for a half day. We Love Paws charges £40 for a full day of doggy day care. No other Derby business with a day care licence or service publishes a day rate.
Dog walking and other add-ons
We Love Paws and Pet Walk N Stay both publish separate dog-walking prices: We Love Paws charges £23 for a solo hour, £20 for a small-group hour and £16 for thirty minutes, while Pet Walk N Stay charges £12 for a walk. We Love Paws also publishes £70 for a full day of pet sitting, and Furbelicious Paws, a home boarder in Alvaston & Boulton, publishes dog grooming from £18 alongside its boarding and day care. None of these figures is a boarding price on its own, but they show what related services cost from businesses that also board dogs.
Everyone else
The other nineteen dog boarders, day cares and kennels listed for Derby, including eight of the eleven home boarders and all ten of the kennels and cattery businesses, do not publish a price.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.
