Frequently asked questions

How much does dog boarding cost?
US in-home boarding averages $45 to $85 per night, standard kennels $50 to $110, and luxury suites $120 to $250 or more. Long-term stays earn weekly and monthly rates. Multi-dog households add $15 to $35 per additional dog per night.
In-home boarding or a kennel, which is better?
In-home boarding is lower stress and usually cheaper for stays of 7 to 30 days with healthy social dogs. Kennels suit stays over 30 days, dogs with medical needs, or dogs that need structured 24/7 staffing.
Do you offer long-term dog boarding?
Yes. Stays of one week to several months are common for relocations, extended travel, and military deployments. Weekly and monthly rates replace per-night pricing, often with a 15 to 30 percent discount.
What is the cheapest boarding option?
In-home boarding with a vetted, insured host typically runs $45 to $60 per night, which is 25 to 40 percent below standard kennels. Avoid uninsured ad-hoc boarders, since an injury during a stay can mean thousands in vet bills.
How are medical needs handled during a stay?
Every booking includes a 24/7 emergency line. Hosts are trained to recognize emergencies and administer pre-discussed medications. Pets with significant needs are matched to hosts with vet-tech backgrounds.
What if my dog does not get along with the host's dogs?
The pre-stay meet-and-greet exists for exactly this. If your dog is not comfortable at the meet, the booking is canceled with a full refund and no penalty.
Are dogs ever let off-leash?
Only inside fenced yards, and only with the owner's written permission given at booking. The default policy is leashed walks only unless you specifically authorize otherwise.
What documents do I need to provide?
Up-to-date vaccinations including rabies, distemper, and bordetella, flea and tick prevention proof, feeding schedule, medication list, and emergency vet contact details. We collect everything at booking.
Will I get updates while I am away?
Yes. You receive daily photos, videos, and walk reports. Stays over 60 days also include a scheduled monthly video call.
How far ahead should I book boarding?
We match a vetted host or kennel within 24 hours for standard dates. Holiday periods book up fast and carry surcharges, so reserve those well in advance.
