FAQs for finding pet boarding near you
What is pet boarding?
Pet boarding provides safe and secure housing for your pet when you can’t be home or when it isn’t safe for your pet to be in the home (like during a hectic and messy home renovation project). Pet boarding services typically include food, bedding, playtime, walks, and exercise. Many pet boarding services are available at kennels and pet daycare facilities.
How much does pet boarding cost?
On average, pet boarding costs $17.30 per hour nationwide on Care.com. How much you’ll actually spend though will depend on how many pets you have, where you live, and the types of boarding services you choose. For example, overnight boarding is going to cost more than dropping your dog off at doggy day care just during the workday.
How do I choose the best pet boarding option for my pet?
What the best pet boarding option for your pet is depends on their specific needs. For example, some pets may benefit from boarding at a kennel or facility that specializes in their particular breed or size. For shy pets that don’t like to be around other dogs, a home-style boarding facility might be better. To choose the best pet boarding facility for your pet, ask questions about their staff qualifications, safety protocols and procedures, and what type of activities they offer during the stay for more insight.
How do I prepare my pet for their stay at a pet boarding facility?
To ensure your pet has the best experience possible at a pet boarding facility, it’s important to properly prepare them ahead of time. To start, it’s important to make sure their vaccinations are up to date (many facilities require proof of current vaccinations). You can also ask if there are any special instructions you need to follow before bringing your pet in (such as bringing their own bed or toys). You will also want to inform the facility about any medical conditions your pet may have so they can administer care accordingly throughout your pet’s stay.
What should I expect when dropping off my pet at a pet boarding facility?
When you drop off your pet at a pet boarding facility, you can expect to meet with a staff member who will review information on how to care for your pet during their stay, including feeding times and instructions on administering medications. You can also expect staff members to show you around the facility. This tour gives you time to get comfortable with the surroundings where your beloved pet will be staying while away from home.
