Dog boarding and day care prices in Durham and Chester-le-Street
Prices are as the businesses published them when we last checked (September 2026). They can change without notice, so confirm them when you book.
Fourteen dog boarders, day cares and kennels are listed for Durham and Chester-le-Street, and only three of them publish a price on their own site: Day Care 4 Paws in Consett, Hunwick Boarding Kennels near Crook and Cooper's Creche Limited in Spennymoor. 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.

Overnight boarding
Only Hunwick Boarding Kennels, near Crook, publishes an overnight figure: £18 per dog per night, plus £1 a day if your dog needs medication, £9 for an extra morning or afternoon session, and £5 for entry or removal outside its normal visiting hours. No other kennels or home boarder listed for Durham and Chester-le-Street publishes a per-night price, so ask directly and have your dates and your dog's details ready before you call.
Day care
Day Care 4 Paws, in Blackhill, Consett, publishes the fullest day-care price list here: £25 for a full day with one dog and £35 with two, or £15 and £25 for a half day. Cooper's Creche Limited, in Spennymoor, does not publish a day-care rate as such but prices its wider pet-sitting round instead: dog walks from £8 for 30 minutes and £13 for an hour, puppy visits from £6.50, and cat or small-pet home visits from £10.
Grooming and extras
Day Care 4 Paws also charges £5 for grooming and £10 for a dog walk on top of its day-care prices. Hunwick Boarding Kennels' extras — medication, an extra session, out-of-hours collection — show how a boarding kennels commonly prices add-ons separately from its headline nightly rate, so ask what is and is not included before you compare one quote with another.
Everyone else
The other eleven dog boarders, day cares and kennels listed for Durham and Chester-le-Street, including both home boarders (Walk The Line Dog Walking and Pet Care and Willington Pet Services) and nine further kennels and day cares, do not publish a price. This is normal for this niche: 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, so have your dates and your dog's details ready when you call. None of the prices 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.
