That is what we pay for a cage free boarding.
The lady is a dog trainer and only boards her clients’ dogs. Our baby sleeps in a crate in her bedroom. They have pack walks every morning. She has a fenced dog obstacle course where the dogs run, play and roam freely when the weather permits. She caps the boarders to 6 at max (she has 2 dogs herself). My baby never comes back smelling like the kennel. It is pricy but well worth it for us. |

| this is crazy, I can't believe all of the responses above saying it's normal. Maybe for a 50lb+ dog on Christmas when they get outings/enrichment. My gosh |

| Sounds right to me - exurbs. |

Sounds great - he's probably gone most of the day working, maybe they get breakfast, midday break, and then the evening with sitter? |

A friend of mine does this. She retired at a young 60 and boards a max of 3 dogs in her home/huge backyard. She is booked 100% of the time. So, she earns $300 per day cash. Only friends/friends of.
She goes to yoga class daily after the morning walk. This is the retirement I look forward to. |

| I pay $120/night for my dog sitter (our dog stays at her house) but I also 100% trust her and do not worry at all when my dog is with her. |

| This is what we pay our Rover sitter who only boards one dog at a time in their home. There are a few options that are cheaper and I don't like them (multiple dogs, super young boarders who seem inexperienced, etc) and a few more expensive for seemingly no reason. I'd say it is squarely average. |

| When Rover launched 10years ago they used their cartel power to raise amateur dogsitting to $35/day standard. Add 10 years of ratcheting and inflation. |

| Yes, that's roughly the going rate, OP. Dog boarding is never cheap. If you shop around you might get the nightly rate down to $50. There's Dogtopia and a bunch of other professional boarding companies out there. |

| I pay a neighbor $50 per day/night. I do the same for them. |

For those of you using non residential boarding facilities please ask if they have staff on site 24/7. If they don’t, don’t use them.

| I board two dogs when I travel. It’s usually about $1,000 a week. |
