Depends a lot on your area, dog size etc.
I passed a 'Very Important Pets' van today. They are based in Wimbledon, a prosperous'ish (but quite variable) London suburb. Their price list is as follows:
http://www.veryimportantpets.co.uk/price-list.html
To a large extent it's supply and demand and what your local market will bear. Good luck, one of our local dog walkers gave up her office job to do this sort of thing. Remember that local authorities often limit you to walking three dogs at a time, and you will need insurance.

I don't know £10/day
. That doesn't sound enough really but doubt people will pay more (costs me £10 per day for my horse to be mucked out, fed and turned out/brought in).

Just though what do you charge for full board??? Think I would charge 2/3rds-3/4 of the full board charge for day boarding.

Our old girl would feel a bit mobbed by your pack and Durham is a bit far, so I suppose I'll just have to continue working part time to look after her - what a hardship

Sounds fab
We pay $40 a day (twice a week) for Stella to go to doggie daycare. She gets picked up/dropped off, and is in a large playroom (supervised) with her best buds. She is also walked three times--just ten-minute jobbies--as part of the cost. Whenever we walk by (it's a shop as well) she drags my arm off, so they must be doing something right.
I think that being a licensed boarding facility stands you in good stead. I'd be willing to pay more than a regular walker for someone with such experience.

My house....like now...I have 2 dogs in...they are lyingon a big doggi cushion in my kitchen.
If I go out.....its normally to horses...so they come with me...I have a doggi van...fitted with crates.
I would use crates for time out..i.e for young pupies to have a nap and for feed times...otherwise in the house and garden with me.....normally cleaning my cattery and kennels for my own dogs, and crates if I need to pop out....on my own...which would be max 3o mins or OH would be hee.

This is what we pay - is London, but I think we get a good deal:
Dog walker - £6 per hour - she comes for 2 hrs a day (at 11am and at 2.30pm).
when we go away on holiday (not often lol!) is £20 per day but it is his dog trainers/ behaviourist who has him in her home. We drop him off and pick him up - an it is the Midlands - so quite far for us, but worth it cos he gets training as well.
most london places charge £10-12 per hour. or £20 for day care...
Hope that helps!
