Short answer: ask how the dogs are housed, exercised and supervised, and visit before you book.
VCA says boarding facilities do not have an official star rating, so ask questions. It says there is a lot of variation in rooms, kennels, crates and runs. Ask how often dogs are taken out for playtime and exercise.
The RSPCA says that since October 2018, licensed businesses in England involving animals, including boarding kennels and home boarding, are covered by regulations. It lists what each dog should have, including their own kennel unit, unless you have agreed that dogs from the same household share, and enough space to sit, stand, lie down, stretch out, wag their tail, walk and turn around.
See a first boarding stay and handing over to a pet sitter.
Tell the kennel or sitter about your dog's health and any fears.
