Prices are as the businesses published them when we last checked (September 2026). They can change without notice, so confirm them when you book.
Eight dog boarders, day cares and kennels are listed for Folkestone, Dover and Deal, and only three of them publish a price on their own site: Bowesfield Kennels and Cattery, Come Stay Play and Lesleys Pet Services. 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
Bowesfield Kennels and Cattery, a boarding kennels near Dover, charges £31 for a dog's first night and £25 for each night after that. Come Stay Play, a home boarder also near Dover, prices by the size of the dog rather than the night: £30 for a small dog, £40 for a medium dog, £50 for a large dog and £60 for a giant breed. Lesleys Pet Services, a third Dover-area home boarder, quotes three different figures for what can be the same stay — £22 for an overnight, £27 for a full day or £32 for a full 24 hours — so ask which of these applies to your dates before you compare it with anyone else's price. No business in Deal, Folkestone or the Hawkinge and Lyminge area currently publishes an overnight price.
Day care
Only Bowesfield Kennels and Cattery publishes a day care price, at £20, alongside its boarding kennels service. None of the other seven businesses lists a day care rate, even though four of them — Harry's Home Boarding and Daycare, Home From Home, Spring Rise Canine Care Services and Top Dogs & Tails Day Care & Boarding — offer day care as one of their services.
Everyone else
The remaining five businesses listed for the area — Harry's Home Boarding and Daycare and Hella's Happy Hounds in the Dover and Deal areas, Home From Home in Folkestone, and Spring Rise Canine Care Services and Top Dogs & Tails Day Care & Boarding in the Hawkinge and Lyminge area — do not publish a price. This is normal for home boarding in particular: price usually depends on the size of the dog, the length of stay and whether more than one dog from the same household is boarding together, so have these 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.
