Dog boarding in the UK comes in two main forms: traditional licensed kennels, and home boarding where your dog stays as a guest in someone's house. Both need a licence from the local council.
Home boarding suits dogs used to living indoors with people; kennels can suit dogs who'd rather have their own space and a set routine.

Dog boarding costs in Reading
How much does dog boarding cost?
Boarding is normally priced per night, and school holidays and Christmas usually cost more. Give us your budget and dates so we can keep the shortlist realistic.
How can I check a boarding licence?
Licences are issued by the local council and boarders should be able to show you theirs. You can also check with the council directly. We look at public trust signals as part of approving businesses, but you should always see the licence yourself before booking.
We don't publish price lists or business counts — prices come from the businesses themselves.
Dog boarding in Reading: common questions
- What's the difference between kennels and home boarding?
- Kennels are a dedicated boarding facility with individual kennels and set routines. Home boarding means your dog stays in someone's home, usually with few or no other dogs. Both need a council licence.
- Do I need to prove vaccinations?
- Almost always, yes. Most boarders ask for an up-to-date vaccination record, and some ask for kennel cough cover too.
