Compare Dog Boarding Near You
Whether you want a quiet in-home sitter or a full-service pet hotel with round-the-clock staff, boarding options vary wildly in price and care style. Pet Service Shop puts real per-night prices, verified reviews, and amenities like live webcams and medication administration side by side, so you can pick the right fit for your dog — not just the first listing you find.
What to look for in boarding
- In-home boarding vs. a dedicated pet hotel — in-home tends to be calmer and better for anxious or senior dogs.
- Webcam access so you can check in on your dog during longer stays.
- Whether medication administration is included if your dog needs daily meds.
- Group size — ask how many other dogs are boarded at once, especially for reactive or shy dogs.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between boarding and doggie day care?
Boarding is an overnight stay (one or more nights); day care is supervised care during the day with your dog going home each evening. Many providers on Pet Service Shop offer both.
How far in advance should I book boarding?
Popular sitters and pet hotels — especially around holidays — can book out weeks ahead. We'd recommend booking at least 1–2 weeks out for routine trips, and as early as possible for peak travel periods.
Can boarding providers give my dog medication?
Many can — look for the "Gives medication" amenity tag on a listing, or message the provider directly to confirm before booking if your dog has specific medical needs.
