FAQs for finding dog boarding kennels near you in Boston, MA

Most dog boarding kennels near you in Boston, MA will require you to bring food for your dog, any medication they may need to take, their leash, a favorite toy or two, and their updated medical records. The dog boarding kennel may also allow you to bring your dog's bed if you would like to. Some dog boarding kennels provide basic veterinarian care, such as baths and nail trimming, so make sure you bring your reservation for those services in case the kennel staff is unaware you requested them. If you are just dropping your dog off at doggy day care for a few hours, you may not need to bring as many supplies.

As you look through dog boarding kennels near you in Boston, MA keep in mind that you'll want to tour the ones you like so you know it's a place your dog will enjoy. You want to make sure each facility has a high level of cleanliness, that your dog will have a comfortable place to sleep and will be able to get an adequate amount of exercise. As the kennel staff for references from other dog owners before making a decision. Also ask about how often you'll receive updates about your dog and how they'll communicate with you if there is an emergency.

The specific dog boarding kennel you choose, as well as where you live, how long you need your dog to stay there, and the level of care your dog requires can all influence the cost of how much you’ll spend. The average cost for dog boarding kennels near you in Boston, MA is $0.00 per hour, but again, this cost can vary significantly.

When you are considering your different options for boarding kennels for dogs near you in Boston, MA, you will want to consider the different types of services each dog boarding kennel offers. Most will make sure your dog has the proper amount of food and water, will walk them, and will play with them. If you would prefer your dog to stay in your home while you’re out of town, you can also look into a dog sitter.

To find a good dog boarding kennel near you in Boston, MA, you can filter and sort local businesses by distance from your zip code, although you can expand the radius of your search if you'd like to increase your options. From there, compare your options by reading about how long they have been in business, the services they provide, and reviews from other dog owners.
