Dog Boarding and Daycare Prices in Basildon, Essex
What dog care actually costs in Basildon and south Essex, and — more usefully — what is and isn't included at each rate. Quoted prices vary far more in what they cover than in the headline number.
Our own rates start from £34 per night for overnight home boarding and £25 per day for daycare, including daily walks, meals to your dog's routine, garden access, and photo updates. Full rates are on the pricing page.
When comparing boarders, the number to compare is the total for your actual dates with everything you need included. Walks, food, collection and drop-off, extended hours, and bank holiday supplements are bundled by some carers and charged separately by others, which is where quotes that looked similar stop being similar.
