Dog boarding and day care prices in Wigan and Skelmersdale
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 Wigan and Skelmersdale, and only four of them publish a price on their own site: Pet Getaway, Digs for Dogs (Wigan), We Love Pets Wigan and Woofits Doggy Day Care. The other five — Talbot House Kennels & Cattery, Dukes Barn Farm Boarding Kennels & Cattery, Canine Companions Indoor Play Centre & Day Care for Dogs, Barking Beauties and Upholland Luxury Kennels & Cattery — quote once they know your dog's size, breed 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 the figures suggest
Home boarding here runs from £30 to £40 a night for one dog, whether it is an individual boarder like Pet Getaway or a franchise branch like Digs for Dogs or We Love Pets Wigan; Digs for Dogs also charges £65 for two dogs together, plus a one-off registration fee and £20 each way if you need transport rather than doing your own drop-off. Day care in Skelmersdale, at Woofits, is priced separately from boarding, at £20 for a full day and £12 for a half day. None of Wigan's boarding kennels, and none of the borough's other home boarders or day cares, publish a figure at all, so ring and describe your dog before assuming a price either way. Ask what a price covers — whether medication, a second dog from the same house, or a bank holiday changes it — since none of that is stated on any of these pages.
