How much does it cost to board a cat at petsmart

Introduction

Boarding your cat is a fantastic option for traveling pet owners. You’ll avoid the hassle of bringing your cat with you on vacations, and you can rest easy knowing that your best friend is being well taken care of. The cost of your kitty’s stay will vary widely depending on what type of boarding facility you choose and its location, but we have a few tips to help keep costs down so you can stay within your budget.

How much will it cost to board your cat?

How much it costs to board your cat depends on the type of service you need, the size of kennel, amenities and extras, and the location of the facility. Generally speaking, the more space you get in a kennel and higher level of care provided by an employee at Petsmart (for example: walking your cat), then the more expensive it will be.

The cost of boarding a cat also varies depending on where you live. For example, if you’re located outside of major metropolitan areas like New York City or Chicago, then pet boarding facilities tend to be less expensive than if you lived closer to these cities (where there are more options).

Luxury Boarding

A Petsmart suite is one of the best ways to ensure that your cat is comfortable while they are staying at our facility. A suite includes their own private room, a litter box with litter and scoop, food and water bowls, toys and bedding. All of this comes at an additional cost for luxury boarding ($10 per night).

Another perk for your feline friend is daily visits from staff members in addition to daily reports on the health status of your pet as well as a complimentary photo!

Standard Boarding

The cost of Standard Boarding varies depending on the number of days you’ll be keeping your cat at Petsmart, as well as the type of room. You should expect to pay around $25-$35 per day for cage, litter box, water bowl and food bowl.

Cat-Only Boarding

Cat-only boarding means your cat will be in a separate room from other animals. This is the most expensive option, but it’s worth it if you can afford it and your cat is prone to fighting or getting sick from other cats.

If this option isn’t possible for you, consider the next two options:

Other Factors

The cost of boarding a cat at Petsmart also varies depending on the following factors:

The length of time you need to board your cat. You can pay $30 for one day, $13 per night after the first night, or a flat fee of $90 per week if you’re gone for longer than a week.
The number of cats you are boarding at once. Each additional cat costs an extra $10 per day or night in fees for all fees except for the weekly flat rate option; this means that three cats will cost about $90 each week and four cats will cost about $100 each week—but all five are still considered one group and share one space and food bowl so their care is essentially free! If there’s more than five kitties in one group, however, then it’ll cost extra to keep them separated out into different spaces with their own bowls because there aren’t enough bowls for more than five at once!

Cat boarding costs vary widely depending on what you need and what you’re willing to spend.

Cat boarding costs vary widely depending on what you need and what you’re willing to spend. The least expensive option is giving your cat a litter box, food/water bowls, and bedding for as little as $5 per day. At the other extreme, if you want to give your cat a private suite with daily activities and playtime with humans there are luxury services that range from $50 to $100+ per week at some facilities (but these types of services require advance reservation).

If you’re going away for more than a few days, it’s usually best to find a pet sitter or boarder who will come to your home so he can get familiar with his surroundings before he comes back from his vacation.

Conclusion

We hope we’ve helped you understand your cat boarding costs in greater detail. Whether you decide to splurge on the lap of luxury or save some cash with a more affordable option, remember that your cat will be taken care of during his stay. Boarding is stressful, so being able to get away for a little while will help your cat relax and be ready to come home when you return.
