Dog Kennels Prices Near Me: Find Affordable Boarding Options Now

Alright, so the other day, I started looking into dog kennels. My pup, Buster, he's a good boy, but I've got a trip coming up, and I need a safe place for him to stay. So, I fired up my computer and typed in "dog kennels prices near me," just to see what's out there.

First, I noticed a bunch of ads. You know how it is, everyone's trying to sell you something. But I scrolled past those and started digging into the actual listings. There were a few local places that popped up, and they all seemed pretty decent at first glance.

I started clicking through each one, checking out their websites. Some had prices listed right there, which was helpful. Others, not so much. I guess they want you to call for a quote. I even found some that look like actual houses, where my dog will be boarded in-home, so I went to their websites to see.

• One place had a basic package, just a simple kennel, for about $25 a night.
• Another one had different options, like a "deluxe suite" with a TV and a raised bed. That was more like $50 a night.
• There was even a place that offered grooming and training on top of boarding. Those prices were all over the place, depending on what you wanted.

After looking at websites, I jot down some notes and made a list of the places that seemed like good options. Then I started looking at reviews. That's where things got interesting.

Some kennels had tons of great reviews, people raving about how much their dogs loved it there. Others had some mixed reviews, with a few complaints about cleanliness or staff. And then there were a few with some really bad reviews, which definitely raised some red flags.

So, I narrowed it down to a couple of places that seemed like the best fit for Buster, both price-wise and based on the reviews. I gave them each a call to get a feel for the people working there and to ask a few more questions. One seemed really good, and another not so much. I felt they were a bit indifferent, just going through the motions, and I don't feel they would care much about Buster.

I'm planning to visit my favorite place next week to check it out in person. I want to see the kennels, meet the staff, and just get a general vibe of the place.

It's definitely been a bit of a process, but I think it's worth it to make sure Buster is in good hands while I'm away. I'll keep you guys updated on how the visit goes!
