FAQs for finding dog boarding near you
What is dog boarding?
Busy pet parents who want to ensure their dog is well looked after while they work or travel can turn to a dog boarding service for help. Dog boarding services, sometimes called a hotel for dogs, can provide 24/7 care and will make sure your dog is fed, walked, and played with. Your dog can even make friends with the other dogs staying at the dog boarding service. If you only need care for a few hours, you may find a doggy day care center is a better fit for your pooch.
How much do boarding services for dogs cost?
The average nationwide hourly rate for dog boarding on Care.com is $16.37 as of May, 2025. How much you’ll actually spend though depends on the unique dog boarding service you choose, where you live, and the services you require.
How can I find a dog hotel near me?
To find boarding services for dogs near you, you can filter and sort local dog boarding service providers by distance from your home. Compare your options by reading about their experience, services they provide, and reviews from other pet parents.
What will my dog do when I utilize dog boarding services?
When you send your dog to a dog boarding service, not only will they be in a safe space where professionals are caring for them, they’ll have the opportunity to play with exercise. They can play with their caregivers and if they get along well with other dogs, can play with them too. They’ll also get to go on walks and enjoy meals.
How long can my dog stay at a dog boarding place?
Dog board services offer extended stays which are ideal for people who love to travel or who may need to be away from home for whatever reason for weeks at a time. You can consult your chosen dog boarding service to see how long they accept stays. Some are happy to accommodate longer stays, whereas others may have a limit of only a few days. If you are choosing a longer term stay, you will want to carefully research a few potential boarding services for dogs to see which one is a good fit. If you’ll be gone for a while, you may also want to research dog sitters who offer long term care.
