Dog boarding and day care prices in Taunton and Somerset
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 Taunton and Somerset, and only two of them publish a price on their own site: Bark Place Dogs and Barking Mad Taunton. 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.
Published prices, September 2026
| Business | Service | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Bark Place Dogs, home-based day care and boarding in Taunton | Day care, per day | £20 |
| Bark Place Dogs | Overnight stay | £30 |
| Bark Place Dogs | Holiday boarding, per day (minimum 3-night stay) | £25 |
| Barking Mad Taunton, home boarding franchise | Registration, one-off | £35 |
| Barking Mad Taunton | 1 dog, daily rate | £32 |
| Barking Mad Taunton | 2 dogs, daily rate | £55 |
| Barking Mad Taunton | Collection & delivery, round trip | £40 |
The two published price lists cover different things: Bark Place Dogs charges per day for day care, an overnight stay or holiday boarding, while Barking Mad Taunton charges a one-off registration fee before matching your dog with a home-boarding host, then a daily rate once boarding starts, plus a separate charge for collection and delivery. Neither list says whether a bank holiday or the size of the dog changes the price, so ask before you book.
What the other six charge
E S Pet Care, Animals at Home Taunton & South Somerset, Hylands Dog Care, LittleDogs (or not so Little Dogs), Animals at Home Mendip & Bristol West and Steart Dog Lodge do not publish a price anywhere we could check. Ask each one directly for a rate covering your dog's size and the dates you need, and whether collection, a bank holiday or medication changes the price.
Questions to ask about price
- Is the price per day, per night, or per 24 hours, and how are the first and last day counted?
- Does a second dog from the same house cost less, the same, or come with a discount?
- Is there an extra charge for a bank holiday, Christmas or New Year?
- Is collection and drop-off included, or charged separately?
- Is there a deposit or registration fee before the first stay?
