The global pet boarding services market size is expected to reach USD 14.02 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 8.59% from 2025 to 2030. Increasing pet companionship rates and pet humanization trends in developed and developing countries, growing pet industry expenditures, rising awareness among pet owners about affordable pet boarding services, and growing popularity of dog daycare centers are some of the factors that are driving the market growth. Increasing initiatives by key players are further supporting the growth. For instance, in April 2021, Dogtopia Enterprises, a leading dog daycare, boarding, and training service provider in the U.S., reportedly secured 31 new franchise agreements during the first quarter of 2021.
The COVID-19 outbreak had a mixed effect on the market. During the year 2020, the market witnessed a decline in growth rate owing to movement restrictions, nationwide lockdowns, closure of boarding service centers, and lesser demands among households to board animals due to work-from-home scenarios. However, the market quickly recovered the following year, as the lockdowns significantly increased pet adoption rates globally, owing to people’s social isolation as well as the psychological benefits of pets. For instance, according to an article published in May 2021 in Frontiers Media S.A., the UK witnessed a peak in pet adoption rates, which led to the shelters emptying during the pandemic. Pet parents seek a safe place to send their pets for socializing, fun, relaxation, and learning skills, which is expected to drive market growth.
The overall population of pets across the globe has also increased. According to The American Veterinary Medical Association report of November 2021, the companion animal population increased significantly from the year 2016 to 2020. In addition, the 2023 - 2024 survey report published by American Pet Products Association estimated that 65.1 million households in the U.S. own dogs and 46.5 million households own cats. The FEDIAF 2022 report suggested that the region had 113.6 million cats and 92.9 million dogs as of 2021. Thus, the constantly rising pet population and growing adoption of dogs and cats are the key factors driving the market growth. In addition, agreements and expansion activities implemented by major players are boosting market growth. In March 2022, Dogtopia secured the largest franchise agreement that was going to add approximately 60 new locations across the U.S. over the next few years.
