Dog boarding and day care prices in Preston
Prices are as the businesses published them when we last checked (September 2026). They can change without notice, so confirm them when you book.
Sixteen dog boarders, day cares and kennels are listed for Preston, and only three of them publish a price on their own site: We Love Pets Preston, Digs for Dogs - Leyland and We Love Pets Lytham, all franchise branches offering home boarding. None of the town's kennels or independent day cares publishes a figure, so the table below is a floor for what boarding costs locally, not a full price list for the town, and it is not enough to compare a kennel stay against a home boarding stay directly.

Home boarding, per 24 hours
The two We Love Pets branches price a straightforward day rate: £53 in Preston and £45 covering Warton and Freckleton. Digs for Dogs - Leyland prices by the day too, at £34 for one dog or £65 for two, but adds a one-off registration fee (£35 or £60), a £20 charge each way for transport, and a £12-a-day surcharge over holiday periods, so its headline daily rate is not the full cost of a booking on its own.
Dog walking and other add-ons
Both We Love Pets branches also publish separate prices for dog walking, short pet visits and house sitting, none of which is a boarding price but which show what a stand-alone visit costs from businesses that also board dogs. Prices differ between the two branches for the same service, so check the branch covering your address rather than assuming the figures match.
Everyone else
The other thirteen businesses listed for Preston, including all six kennels and both remaining day care centres, do not publish a price. This is normal for the niche: cost usually depends on the dog's size, the length of stay and, for a home boarder, how many dogs are already booked in from other households, so have your dates and your dog's details ready when you call. None of the figures 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.
