Pl. 02 — The difference

What makes this one different

Most boarding directories list scraped, rate-free, often-stale data. We lead with two things they don't have.

Fig. 01

Real nightly rates

1,154 facilities carry a confirmed boarding or daycare rate, pulled from the business's own published pricing — not an estimate. Where a rate isn't confirmed, the listing says “call to confirm” instead. We publish the state-by-state analysis in our boarding price study.

State license records

520 listings are matched against state kennel-licensing registries, on top of a deduplicated dataset we own and re-verify every month — sourced from open map data, not a one-time scrape.

Frequently asked questions

How much does dog boarding cost?

Boarding is priced per night, and rates vary widely by region and by what's included (private suite vs. standard run, playtime, walks). Across the facilities in our directory that publish a rate, the median is $45 per night. 1,154 of the 24,940 facilities here list a confirmed rate; for the rest, the listing says "call to confirm" instead of guessing.

What's the difference between dog boarding and dog daycare?

Boarding is overnight care — your dog stays at the facility while you're away. Daycare is daytime-only care, typically billed per day or in package form. Many facilities offer both, so we list them in one directory and tag each listing with the services it offers.

Are boarding facilities licensed?

It depends on the state — roughly half of US states license boarding and daycare facilities through their agriculture or animal-services agency; the rest don't regulate them at all. We've matched 520 listings against state license records and mark those with a state-licensed badge. No badge doesn't mean a problem: in unregulated states there's simply no register to check.

How is this directory kept accurate?

Every listing is sourced from open map data, deduplicated across sources, and re-verified every month. We layer on nightly rates, hours, amenities, and state license records where we can confirm them — and where we can't, the listing says so rather than filling the gap with a guess.
