FAQs for finding dog boarding near you in Palo Alto, CA

Boarding your dog near you in Palo Alto, CA will cost an average of $26.67 per hour as of January 2023. The price will vary depending on the level of service needed for your dog and the amenities that will be provided for them. Some dog boarding providers will charge a fixed rate per day, especially if you need to leave your dog for multiple days. If you’ll only be gone for a few hours, you can also drop your dog off at a doggy day care center.

When you take your dog to a dog boarding service near you in Palo Alto, CA, you can expect your dog to have the chance to remain active when you can’t be with them. Staff at the dog boarding service should make sure your dog is well looked after and will take them on walks while making sure they can lay safely with other dogs.

Unlike pet sitters that come to your home, boarding your dog is essentially a hotel for dogs and means taking it to a facility or someone else's home near you in Palo Alto, CA. Before you agree to bring your furry family member over, ask to take a tour so you can see the place beforehand. You want to make sure there is a good level of cleanliness, that your dog will have a comfortable place to sleep and will be able to safely play with other dogs if there are any. Make sure to ask for references from other pet parents before making a decision. Also ask about how often you'll receive updates about your dog and how they communicate with clients if there is an emergency. Dog sitters are another option worth considering if you think your pet would be more comfortable at home.

There are many different types of dog boarding services available near you in Palo Alto, CA that are both safe and fun places to leave your dog when you can’t be with them. You can find dog boarding services that involve kennel lodging, while giving the dog both indoor and outdoor spaces to play and get some exercise. You can also find services that include walks, as well as other basic caregiving services like feeding your dog and administering their medicine.

When looking for a reliable dog boarding service near you in Palo Alto, CA, there are some key questions you should ask before you choose a service to leave your dog at. First, you need to clarify exactly what services they offer. You also need to inquire about how and when they’ll communicate with you about your dog. It’s also a good idea to ask them about what they would do if an emergency arises.
