Dog boarding and day care prices in Hinckley and Earl Shilton
Prices are as the businesses published them when we last checked (September 2026). They can change without notice, so confirm them when you book.
Nine dog boarders, day cares and kennels are listed for Hinckley and Earl Shilton, and only three of them publish a price on their own site: Desford Dog Care, Wags Dog Care and Nilz and Harley Pet Services. The other six — Watson's Dogs, Pampered Pets Inn, Doggy Daycare at the Willows, Stanmaur Farm Boarding Kennels, Best Buddies Petcare and A47 Boarding Kennels and Cattery — 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.

What this tells you
A 24-hour stay runs from £35 for kennel boarding at Wags Dog Care up to £45 or £50 for a home stay at Desford Dog Care, which is the only business here to charge more for a dog under a year old than for an older dog. A full day of day care sits at £25 to £30 across the three businesses that publish one, with Nilz and Harley Pet Services also offering a shorter £18.50 play session and Desford Dog Care a £25 half-day option of up to five hours. None of the three prices covers extras such as a second dog from the same house, a bank holiday stay or collection and drop-off, so ask about these separately.
The other six businesses — both home boarders in Hinckley & Burbage, the two remaining boarding kennels and the second day care centre — do not publish a price at all. Call and describe your dog's size, age and the dates you need before asking for a quote; see our guide to choosing between them for what each one offers.
