Spending on these services is increasing due to rising pet ownership, higher disposable incomes, and the growing trend of pet humanization, where pets are increasingly treated as family members. Pet boarding services play a vital role by providing pets with safe, comfortable, and supervised environments when owners are traveling or unavailable, ensuring continuity of care without involving clinical procedures. For instance, in April 2024, according to the American Pet Products Association, a US-based non-profit organization, expenditure on pet grooming, dog walking, and boarding reached $12.6 billion in 2023, up from $11.4 billion in 2022. Therefore, the growing expenditure on non-medical veterinary services is driving the growth of the pet boarding services market.
