There is no one definitive answer to this question as it can vary significantly depending on the size and type of kennel, the number of dogs housed there, boarding rates, and other associated factors. According to The Dog House Times, an average small kennel with 3 staff members can make over $90,000 annually before taxes. This figure assumes an average of 20 dogs in daycare per work day and 10 dogs boarded overnight each night of the week. On the other hand, an average kennel manager who works as an employee likely makes between $30,000 and $36,000 yearly.
