Dog boarding: what changes the price?
The price of dog boarding depends first on the number of nights booked and any known needs before arrival. At Dog Valley, we also check the collection address and any useful instructions for your dog so we can confirm that the rate matches the stay.
Pricing by the night clearly links the cost to the length of the stay. Give us your departure and return dates to determine the number of nights involved. This basis is easier to compare than a single total where the duration is not clear.
Then look at what the rate actually covers. Some boarding facilities charge separately for food or activities. At Dog Valley, these services are part of the stay. Your dog has time to rest, then returns to the outdoor areas and activities planned by the team.
Accommodation also matters when comparing options. Dog Valley welcomes boarding dogs in Saint-Chéron in private suites, with five hectares of secure natural grounds. Dogs do not spend their stay in a simple waiting room. They alternate between quiet time and supervised exploration.
Services included in our rates
Our rates include food and daily activities. Home transport is also included when your address is within Dog Valley’s stated pick-up area. The price of dog boarding therefore remains calculated by the night, without these services being added during the stay.
Food is part of the stay because it is part of your dog’s routine. Tell us about their habits before arrival. We can then prepare the stay with the information we need, without leaving you to guess what is or is not included.
Activities are included too. Our boarding dogs explore Dog Valley’s spaces with the team, play according to their affinities and take breaks in their suite. The site includes a private forest, a scent garden and spaces designed for dogs. Each dog keeps their own rhythm.
Pick-up also saves you an extra journey. Our team collects your dog from home within the designated area and brings them back at the end of the stay. You do not have to choose between your schedule and your dog’s care: we organise both within the same rate.
Possible extras and points to clarify
Transport within the pick-up area and food are not added on top of the boarding rate. If your dog needs care or a diet requiring specific instructions, tell us what they need before arrival. We can then review the conditions of their stay with you.
Health needs should not be handled at the last minute. Explain any care that needs to be given and provide the team with the relevant information. This preparation allows us to determine whether Dog Valley can provide the requested care under appropriate conditions.
A specific diet requires the same level of detail. Tell us what your dog eats and how you usually organise their meals. Food is included in the rate, but we need to understand their habits to prepare a consistent stay.
For transport, the address is what needs to be checked. Pick-up is included within the area shown on our transport page. If your home is outside that area, we will explain the appropriate option before confirming the stay.
How to get an accurate quote for your dog
For dog boarding, an accurate price is based on the dates of the stay and the collection address. Also tell us about any habits that require particular attention. We can then check that the rate is appropriate for your dog’s stay at Dog Valley.
Start by giving us the dates you need. The number of nights determines the base cost of the stay. Then add your address so that we can confirm whether transport is included within our pick-up area.
Tell us about your dog using simple, practical information. Their meal routine, care needs or way of resting help us prepare for their arrival. Our boarding dogs are not welcomed at random: the team observes them from the moment they settle in and adapts their care based on what it knows about them.
The quote sets out the framework of the stay before you book. You know that food, activities and transport within the designated area are included in the rate. Your dog can then arrive in Saint-Chéron with familiar routines, and you can leave them with a team that knows the instructions you have provided.
