What to Look for in a Dog Sitter or Boarding Provider in South West England
Whether you're choosing home boarding, a licensed kennel, or a sitter who stays in your own home, it's worth checking a few key things: local authority licensing (a legal requirement for anyone boarding dogs professionally in the UK), how many dogs are cared for at once, daily routine and exercise arrangements, and how nervous or anxious dogs are settled in. Given the South West's popularity with walkers, ask whether daily walks are included and where — coastal paths, moorland, or local countryside routes.
How Much Does Dog Boarding Cost in South West England?
Pricing in the South West is broadly in line with or slightly below the UK average, with Bristol and Bath typically at the higher end. Expect around £18–£30 per night for home boarding, and £15–£25 per day for daytime sitting, depending on the provider and your dog's size and needs. For more detail, see our full UK Dog Boarding Services guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find a dog sitter or boarding provider near me in the South West?
Browse the county list above to see vetted providers local to your specific area of South West England.
Are dog boarding providers in the South West licensed?
Anyone offering dog boarding services professionally in the UK is legally required to hold a local authority licence. Always confirm this directly before booking.
What's the difference between home boarding and kennel boarding?
Home boarding means your dog stays in a host's home, often with more one-to-one attention. Kennel boarding is a dedicated facility, which can suit dogs that prefer a more structured routine. Check each listing for which type they offer.
What if I can't find a provider in my exact town?
New providers are added regularly. In the meantime, check our full UK Dog Boarding Services page, or get in touch and we'll try to help.

I am happy to pick up from your home and, after an adventure out into the countryside, I can drop your doggy back or they can come and stay the whole day with me. Alternatively, leave them with me when you go on holiday and you will be secure in the knowledge that they will be lovingly cared for while you’re away. Whichever option you chose I promise you they will always have a lovely time with lots of cuddles!
If you’re busy working and your dog fancies joining me on a walk one day, then please do get in touch.
