Dog boarding cost per night

At Happy Paws the nightly price for one dog on the 2026 rates is $52, $59 or $72, set by the kennel size. Four things move that number: the kennel class, a second dog sharing, the military or 14+ night rate, and a half-night charge for afternoon pick-up.

A nightly price sounds simple until you ask what a night is. Here is exactly how a night is counted at this kennel and what moves the number up or down.

How a night is counted

A night runs from drop-off until check-out at 11:30 AM the next morning, the same way a hotel night works. Drop-off windows are 7:30 to 11:30 AM and 2:00 to 5:00 PM every day, so dropping off at 9:00 AM on Friday and picking up at 11:00 AM on Sunday is two nights.

If you collect your dog in the afternoon window instead, that day is billed at half of the nightly fee rather than a full night.

Price by kennel class

One dog in First Class is $72 a night, in Business Class $59, in Economy $52 (2026 rates). Two nights in Business Class is $118, five nights is $295, and ten nights is $590. If your dog is between sizes, the kennel class finder and the kennel class guide explain which fits.

When two dogs share

Two dogs from the same home can share one kennel when they are comfortable together. The second dog is billed at a reduced rate: $61 in First Class, $50 in Business Class and $44 in Economy. For two dogs in Business Class, the first night is $59 for the first dog and $50 for the second, so a sharing pair costs less than two separate kennels would. Dogs that do not share well each need a kennel of their own.

The military and 14-night rates

Active military families pay about 10% less per night, for example $53 in Business Class. A stay of 14 nights or more is priced at that same reduced rate. Because the two prices are identical, they are not combined into a bigger discount.

Costs that are not on the nightly line

Food, walks and medications carry no extra charge. Optional treats do: a Happy Pup Cup is $4.99 and an additional picture play session is $14.99 per kennel. Baths are priced on request by dog size and coat. Holiday stays also need a 50% deposit 30 days ahead, which is part of the stay price rather than an added fee.
