MMR: Pet boarding

[househunter]

I pay $15/ night lcol obviously

[spk926]

The place I LOOOVE, but is a bit of a drive for us since we moved is $42/night for 1-3 nights and it gradually gets lower the more nights they stay. They give a discount for the 2nd dog within the same family.

The place close to our house is $32/night for nights 1-3 and then anything 4+ nights on is $30/night. They also give a discount to the 2nd dog within the same family.

Both are "cageless" boarding meaning they are out in the large indoor/outdoor doggy daycare area and are only kenneled in large pens with doggy beds at night.

ETA: The both also have webcams we can look in on them anytime. We do often.

$50a day.

[awick14]

We pay $32/night. We live in a HCOL area.

[preppy]

$60/night. We use a place just outside Boston where there is daycare all day and no crates at night. There are beds and cots and the pups snuggle together and there is a bunk where one employee sleeps over. Others in the area are closer to $50/night but we love this place so much. Annoyingly it's now 90mins away but I would still hands down drive up there and use it for a trip.

[huskymom]

It's anywhere from $45-$100 depending on the place for two dogs. We usually use the $45 place which I actually really like best, but it's a bit further out (30 min)

I just checked our kennel's website because I couldn't remember their rates.  They're the one I like, so I don't care too much.  We only board a couple times a year anyway.  It's cash or check only, which I find more annoying than whatever I'm actually paying, but again, I like them so I do it.

[motzie]

$54 for one dog, $93 for two - per night, at a facility
Our in home border charges $60 night for both dogs.

[qcinoct]

anywhere from $30-50. So, we're paying someone to dog/house sit for $40/day instead of boarding our dog when we travel next month. The $500 it's costing us for dog-care is a hard pill to swallow, though. 

[CrazyLucky]

We pay $24/night and we love it, and so does the dog. When we pull into their driveway, he gets so excited. They live on 10 acres, so he gets long walks in the woods. In the summer, they fill up kiddie pools and he gets pool time. We can also pay for extras like golf cart rides, doggy ice cream, kong treats. They donate all the money from the extras to local shelters.

[Jalapeñomel]

$44 a night

[bunch]

Yikes!  

I paid $14 a night last week.  I was actually shocked that it was so low.  I was expecting closer to $20.   This is at the popular vet in town.  

[yellowbrkrd]

I couldn't remember, so I looked it up and I swear the prices must have gone up recently. We're in LCOL.

Patio - $42
Suite - $49 (this is what we do)
Penthouse - $95

[anaps28]

$42 a night...ugh we are gone for 10 nights in July.
Dogs roam free in a puppy play group during the day.
If you want your dog to have his/her own room with a bed its $70

[egishere]

My dog is super old so I don't put her at boarding places anymore. We use rover.com and take her to people from there. It's usually $25-35 a night. Having to use someone new this weekend when we are traveling and its $33- a little extra holiday surcharge. It's been a good experience thr past two times we've used it.

[bluelikejazz]

$30/night. But they also took our dog over thanksgiving when I was in labor with DD even though we didn't have a reservation (obviously we had made arrangements, but didn't know when we would need them) I love our boarding place!

[jorja]

$40 for a full day and night. That's if we drop him off after 5pm and pick him up before 10am.

It is a doggie daycare setup during the day, so he's only in his kennel overnight.

[bowies]

$24/night for two dogs - they share a run.

ETA: We normally use a pet sitter since one of our dogs is special. He charges $12/visit.

[pugz]

we board at our vet office as Boopers is beloved by all there (or fancies that she is). It is $25 a night I believe but you also have to pay for a bath if they stay for 3 or more nights, and we do a nail trim and always have them update her on any shots she's behind on and whatnot. So on top of boarding we always get the "doggie spa" bill as well.

[quesyrah]

$35/day for our 45 lb corgi plus $5/day to administer her meds (she's old).

[awkwardpenguin]

$40 million dollars.

I think it's $65/day for a kitty condo. In theory our cats could share but in practice our older one is an asshole and would beat up the younger one. So we'd need two smaller kitty condos at $45/day each.

Instead we pay $25/visit for a cat sitter to come to our place once a day.

[LoveTrains]

It's $55/day at my dog walkers but the timing is funky so for 24 hours I would often pay $70.

[baconbritches]

Medium COL area, we pay $30 a night plus walks/playtimes.

[JRo]

$35 for one dog, $63 for 2 (sharing a run). MCOL.

[pinkdutchtulips]

$16/night for my under 15# dogs each. It's a no frills kennel that I love. $32/night for both VHCOL to HCOL (SF Bay Area)

[chickens987]

$45/1 dog, $60 for two. We no longer board due to Tot's aggression, so we use dogvacay instead.

[pooh8402]

Traditional run is 32.50/night. Doggie suite is 48/night. 10/night discount for additional pets that can be boarded in the same room. LCOL area, and this is a middle of the road boarding facility with vet on site. (Not the fanciest place in town but not the cheapest either). They let the dogs out 6/day, and allow them to play with the doggie day care animals.

I didn't check kitty prices because I don't care.

DH and I plan to live dog-free for a little while once these two pass.

[polarbearfans]

With 3 cats it is cheaper for me to have a pet sitter come twice a day :/ $40 a day but the cats are soooooo much calmer. Worth every penny.

[SpartanGirl]

Where we board it's $39/night for a dog, which includes a raised bed, heated floors (what?!), and 5-6 hours of playtime.

At the same place it's $29.95/night for our 2 cats to share a cat condo.
