Properties differ significantly in night staffing, outdoor run sizes, and whether private exercise time is included or billed per activity. Reviewing facility routines and drop-off policies helps narrow down the right environment before booking.

Good to know
What is the typical nightly cost for dog boarding?
Rates typically range from $40 to $80 per night for standard accommodations, though high-demand holiday weeks and luxury suites can cost more. Additional services like individual walks, webcams, or medication administration are often billed as add-on fees.
Are dogs left unsupervised overnight?
Staffing models vary by business. Some facilities maintain 24-hour awake staff on site, while others rely on alarm systems, cameras, and fire suppression after final evening check-ins. It is best to ask each provider directly about their overnight coverage.
Can I bring my dog's regular food and bedding?
Most places prefer that you bring pre-portioned meals from home to prevent digestive upset. Guidelines on personal blankets, beds, and toys vary by facility to ensure items can be safely kept and sanitized.
