Dog Boarding Omaha Prices: How Much Will It Cost You?
Alright, folks, let’s dive into my recent adventure of finding a decent place to board my furry friend in Omaha. You know, leaving your dog somewhere new can be nerve-wracking, so I wanted to be extra thorough this time.
First off, I started with a simple Google search to get the lay of the land. I typed in “dog boarding Omaha prices” and, boy, did I get a ton of results. It was a bit overwhelming at first, but I rolled up my sleeves and started digging in. I saw a bunch of different websites pop up—review sites, local kennels, and even those big-name pet care platforms.
I spent a good chunk of time just clicking through and reading what people had to say. It looks like the average cost for boarding a dog overnight in Omaha is somewhere between $48 and $69, which is about what I expected. Some places were a bit cheaper, around $38 a night according to Rover, but I wasn’t just looking for the cheapest option. I wanted to find a place that was both affordable and had great reviews.
Next, I started comparing different places. I looked at about 12 different services near me, carefully reading reviews and comparing their prices. It seemed like a lot of people were really happy with the service they received, which was encouraging. I also found this one site, I think it was Yelp, that had a list of the top 10 best dog boarding places in Omaha. It mentioned places like Gilbert Boarding Kennels, Paw Paradise Spa, and ComeSitStay.
One thing I noticed was that some of these places offered more than just boarding. They had grooming, daycare, and even spa services. It made me think about how much it might cost to add on some extra pampering for my pup while he was there.
My Top Picks
- Gilbert Boarding Kennels: Seemed like a solid choice, lots of good reviews, but I wanted to dig deeper into their pricing.
- Paw Paradise Spa: The name itself sounds fancy. I figured they might be a bit pricier, but maybe worth it for the extra services.
- ComeSitStay Pet Boarding Grooming & Daycare: This one caught my eye because it offered a bit of everything. I made a note to call them and get more details.
- Clearview Pet Care Centre: Another name that popped up a few times. They seemed reputable, so I added them to my list of places to investigate further.
After all that research, I decided to narrow down my list to a few top contenders and give them a call. I wanted to get a feel for the people who worked there and ask about their specific services and pricing. I also planned to visit a couple of places in person. Nothing beats seeing a place with your own eyes and getting a vibe for the environment.
I also stumbled upon some hourly rates, which were around $12 to $14. I guess that’s more for daycare or short-term care. One place, that mentioned their overnight rate was $55, and they talked about spacious kennels and big outdoor play areas. Sounds pretty good, right?
Honestly, finding a good dog boarding place is a bit like dating. You gotta do your research, read the reviews, and maybe even go on a few “dates” (or visits) before you find the right match. I’ll keep you guys posted on how it goes. Hopefully, I’ll find the perfect home away from home for my furry buddy!
