Best Dog Kennels 2026
Every October, something magical—and slightly spooky—happens at Wags Dog Care. We pull out the cobwebs, pumpkins, and costumes to give our furry guests a Halloween experience to wag their tails
We are a family run business with over 20 years experience of boarding kennels and doggy day care. Our prestigious and purpose built dog hotel is set in 3 acres of stunning Leicestershire countryside.
Our luxury dog kennels in Leicestershire provide a homely environment with TV’s, fully heated rooms and luxury bedding. Your dog will have a fun filled stay with lots of love and affection. On the evening after a fun-packed day, they can relax listening to soft music for tranquillity and cosy up for the night.
We have lots of toys & games that they can all enjoy playing with, including a car, what dog doesn’t like sticking their head out of the window with their tongue hanging out?
Along with all the fun, safety is just as important. We have separate play areas to ensure there are never too many dogs in one area whilst ensuring they get plenty of attention and supervision, ensuring a safe, loving environment.
EXCELLENT Based on 114 reviews Posted on E BDecember 28, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cannot rate this place enough!! My dog absolutely loves it here & always comes home looking and smelling better than when he left us. I know my boy loves it because when we pull up on the drive to drop him off he bolts through the door without a second look at us.. and if he does not like something he will always make it known! They also sent us a beautiful picture of him on Christmas Day in a Christmas jumper !! Thank you for all that you do for milo xPosted on Terry GrayDecember 15, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our Dog attends twice a week and has recently had his first overnight. He loves it at Wags. He starts to jump around as soon as we pull into the drive and goes running off without a second look. We started taking him from the puppy stage to build his socialisation skills and he is great around other dogs now. A great team and I would highly recommend Wags to anyone.Posted on KYU SHIN KAN AIKIDO DOJODecember 15, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sonny has started his holiday. He had a great day at the Christmas special day care . He said merry Christmas to all his mates and all his lady friends that made his day special. Thank you so much for the gifts, see you all next year 😘Posted on Anita JewellDecember 11, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Charlie stayed here while we were away and Maddison kept us updated the whole time. He loved the big play area and the fountain, and the kennels looked so clean and fresh. He came home relaxed, healthy and smelling great perfect experience.Posted on Bridget SarahDecember 3, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our elderly dog, Buddy, stayed here for a week and Ocean took such gentle, thoughtful care of him. The VIP suite was spotless and comfortable. We enjoyed our holiday knowing he was safe and happy. Truly grateful for their kindness.Posted on Iliana JacksonDecember 1, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dropped off Daisy for doggy day care and she had the best time. The huge play area is perfect and the staff, especially Gypsy are lovely. The place is clean, modern and really well run. She barely wanted to get in the car to go home!Posted on Asia KayleyNovember 29, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Max stayed in one of the luxury VIP suites and it was amazing, they even had TVs on the wall! Ocean made us feel so comfortable from the moment we arrived. He came home healthy, clean and super happy. Couldn’t have asked for better care.

For Dog Owners With Busy Lives
Your dog can spend their day playing with their friends at our doggy day care rather than being home alone! With plenty of outdoor space, your dog can run around to their heart’s content, & we even have indoor & shaded areas to rest peacefully when they get tired.
Want to see our facilities? Contact us to enquire further. Viewings are on an appointment basis which usually take place on a Saturday.
Viewing appointments are individual 30 minute slots and are in high demand. Due to this, we appreciate that those who book a viewing ensure a prompt arrival to the arranged viewing time and if there are any issues in regards to attending the viewing that you contact us to let us know as this space can be filled almost immediately and in general curtesy and etiquette.
Please do note that if you haven’t used our dog care services prior to a booking and would like to look without booking an appointment then there is no facility to view on the day of drop off due to a tight schedule and many other customers to serve within this time. Your dogs are always our top priority and this is within their best interests so they can enjoy their fun filled day and routine. However, any questions will be answered and a viewing appointment could always be arrange on a future date.
We have separate play areas to ensure there are never too many dogs in one area whilst ensuring they get plenty of attention and supervision, ensuring a safe, loving environment.
It’s so important to keep your dogs interacting and experiencing different places, especially during the hard times that face us currently. Why not book your dogs into our dog day care where they can play and have fun all day! This includes a long walk and games in our day care facility. We offer this service to all dogs no matter of their age, our rest room is available to the dogs all day if they need a break. Your dogs will have fun-filled games to stimulate and also socialise with other furry guests.
