Pet Sitting and Boarding in Las Vegas

Sometimes, pup parents need a break from their hometown, especially those in bustling cities like Las Vegas. Leaving your dog can be a scary prospect, which is why great pet care is so important. Finding the right setting and care provider for Fido will ease your mind and make vacations more enjoyable.  

Dogs respond better to in-home care than boarding kennels since the unfamiliar atmosphere and volume-level of kennels can be intimidating for shy dogs. In-home sitters offer dogs the one-on-one attention that boarding businesses can't give them.

A lot of owners choose boarding kennels because they can’t commit the time it takes to find and vet a local dog sitter. Wag! takes the hard work out of finding trustworthy pet care, combining the convenience of kennels and the comfort of home. The Wag! platform connects you with local dog sitters, for a fraction of the cost of other service providers.

Another benefit of Wag! is many of the sitters on the platform double as dog walkers. With the pet parents' consent, dog sitters on the Wag! platform can entertain their furry clients with field trips like walks on La Madre Spring Trail while their parents are away. 

Looking for cost-effective pet care? Let’s explore the price differences between overnight services through Wag! and other local dog boarders and sitters.

Average Cost of Dog Boarding in Las Vegas 

The Las Vegas dog boarding industry is very lucrative since Vegas is a top travel destination for pet-lovers. The high cost of living, combined with the pet restrictions of many Vegas hotels, means pet parents have to shell out a lot for a decent doggy resort.

The very basic boarding options start at $45 a night for a minimal kennel room with only a dog bed. High rollers can opt for a luxury suite with a queen-size bed, sofa, 46-inch flat-screen TV, and bay window...but it comes with a luxury price tag of nearly $200 per night. 

Unlike other dog boarders in Las Vegas, Wag! offers the advantage of individualized in-home care to make your dog feel most comfortable. Boarding through the Wag app starts at just $39 a night, plus a flat rate of $15 if your pooch needs a ride to and from the boarder’s home.

Average Cost of Dog Sitting in Las Vegas

Many pet parents prefer their dog to stay at home for overnight care, rather than go to a new place. Unfortunately, hiring a sitter can be just as expensive as a doggy resort — if not more.

The average rates for Las Vegas dog sitters range from $10 to $30 an hour, though many caregivers charge upwards of $50 an hour for nights and weekends. Some dog sitters tack on extra charges for dogs with medical conditions or those who require specialized care. Even on the low end of this price range, a sitter will run you $120 for a 12-hour night out. 

Dog sitting services through Wag! Start at $39 a night, unless your dog requires transportation, which is just $15 more. There aren't any hidden fees or monthly charges with Wag!; you pay for the services you need, when you need them.

Booking dog boarders in Las Vegas is a breeze with the Wag! app. Simply download the app, create an account, then answer some questions about your dog's age, breed, behaviors, and health history.

Select the “Overnight" option and choose "Boarding, then set the date, time, and whether your pooch needs transportation. Then you’ll be asked about your care preferences (for instance, does your dog walk at a particular time?). Once the details are out of the way, you can read reviews and bios of local dog sitters near you and select Fido's favorite.  

Our app allows pet parents to see a caretaker's specialties at a glance, like if they have first-aid knowledge or experience with senior dog care. Dog boarders on the Wag! platform will send you video "pupdates” during your dogs' staycation to keep you in the loop about all their adventures. 

Wag! knows how vital quality pet care is to families, which is why service providers on our platform go through an exhaustive screening process to ensure they're a good fit for our furry clients. For most dog sitters on the Wag! platform, pet care isn't just a job; it's a way of life. Many sitters in our network spend their time advocating for animals and playing with their own fur-babies.

Scheduling local dog sitters through the Wag! app is just as easy as setting them up for boarding. You'll follow the same steps as you would with a boarding appointment, but you'll select "Sitting" from the "Overnight Care" menu. After answering some behavioral and care-related questions, you'll enter any special needs your pup has (like daily medications or dietary restrictions).

After the logistics are out of the way, you can browse all the in-home dog sitters near you. To help you find the right fit for your pup's particular needs, our app offers detailed descriptions, ratings, and reviews for each care provider in our network. 

All dog sitters on our app have a bio that lists their specialties, like caring for hyperactive dogs, dog training, and medication administration. After narrowing down your list of prospective caregivers, you can use the Wag! Chat feature to communicate with them about your preferences and any questions you may have. Wag! Chat also provides a constant line of communication with your pet’s caregiver while you’re away. 

Booking through Wag! means you can rest easy knowing your fur baby is in their own bed and with a trustworthy and dependable dog sitter.
