Frequently asked questions

How much does pet boarding cost?+

Boarding costs range from $25–$85 per night for dogs and $15–$45 per night for cats depending on location, accommodations, and add-on services. Luxury pet hotels and 24/7 staffed facilities cost more.

What vaccinations do boarding facilities require?+

Most require current rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella (kennel cough) for dogs. Cats typically need FVRCP and rabies. Some also require canine influenza vaccination. Always confirm with the facility before booking.

Is boarding or pet sitting better for cats?+

Most cats do better with in-home pet sitting since they are deeply attached to their environment. Boarding can work for social cats, but the change in environment is often stressful for felines.

How early should I book pet boarding?+

Book 2–4 weeks ahead for normal weekends and 6–8 weeks ahead for holidays. Spring break, summer, Thanksgiving, and Christmas fill up quickly.

Can my pet stay if they have special needs?+

Many facilities accept pets with medical conditions, senior pets, and pets requiring medication, but call ahead. Some facilities specialize in senior or special-needs care.
