Dog boarding and day care prices in Hemel Hempstead and Chesham
Prices are as the businesses published them when we last checked (September 2026). They can change without notice, so confirm them when you book.
Twelve dog boarders, day cares and kennels are listed across Hemel Hempstead and Chesham, and only four of them publish a price on their own site: Harts and Hounds @ The Hayfields, The Old Pastures Boarding Kennels, Dogtopia of Amersham and Friends Paw Life. The other eight 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.

Overnight boarding and kennels
The Old Pastures Boarding Kennels, near Tring, is the only set of boarding kennels here with a published rate: £32.50 a day for one dog, £45.50 for two dogs sharing a kennel, or £25.50 for a day-only stay with no overnight. Arklow Kennels, the other boarding kennels listed, for Chalfont St Giles, does not publish a price on its own site; call for a quote.
Home boarding
Friends Paw Life, covering the Great Missenden area, prices home boarding at £35 for a single session and £50 for five or more sessions in a day; ask exactly what counts as a session before comparing this with an overnight kennel rate. None of the other five home boarders listed for the town — Pet Relief, Cosy Paws Dog Boarding and Auntie Kelz Dog Home Boarder and Day Creche in Hemel Hempstead, Poos and Doodles in Berkhamsted & Tring, and The Puppy Dog Hotel in Chesham & Amersham — publish a price; a home boarder usually prices around your dog's size, the length of stay and how many dogs are already booked in, so have your dates ready when you call.
Day care
Dogtopia of Amersham, in Chesham & Amersham, publishes the fullest day-care price list here: £35 for a weekday day of up to eight hours, £40 at weekends, and £50 for a combined day-and-night stay of up to 24 hours. Harts and Hounds @ The Hayfields, near Tring, charges £39.50 a day, including VAT, for daycare on its farmland site. K&M Animal Care in Hemel Hempstead and Schnoodles Doggy Daycare in Chesham & Amersham do not publish a price for their day care.
Everyone else
Eight of the twelve businesses listed here do not publish a price at all: this is normal for the niche, since a home boarder in particular usually prices around the length of stay, the number of dogs from the same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 for collection. None of the prices above are guaranteed to include everything: bank holidays, collection, and a second dog from a different household are commonly charged on top elsewhere in this niche, so confirm the final total, and what it covers, before you book.
