The North America Pet Boarding Services Market was valued at USD 14.5 billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 10% to reach USD 36.9 billion by 2034.
Rising pet ownership in North America, fueled by changing demographics and evolving lifestyles, is a key driver. Millennials and Gen Z increasingly view pets as family members, not just companions, creating a strong demand for high-quality boarding services. Pet owners are seeking facilities that go beyond basic care, offering comfort, personalized attention from trained staff, and amenities that replicate a home-like environment. The trend toward pet humanization has led to luxury boarding services, including suites, grooming, spa treatments, and enrichment activities. Facilities now provide structured playgroups, mental stimulation, and tailored care programs, reflecting a broader focus on pets’ overall well-being while owners are away.
The short-term boarding segment generated USD 4.8 billion in 2024. Busy lifestyles and travel needs have increased the demand for flexible overnight or same-day stays. Traditional long-term facilities are now adapting to offer short-term solutions that combine convenience with high-quality care, meeting both emergency and routine requirements.
The dogs segment accounted for a 57.3% share in 2024, representing the largest pet segment. The strong emotional bond between dogs and owners, coupled with the need for structured care, socialization, and exercise, drives higher spending on boarding services compared to other pets. Dogs often require specialized attention that short- and long-term boarding services can provide effectively.
United States Pet Boarding Services Market held a 90% share, generating USD 13 billion in 2024. High pet ownership rates and cultural norms treating pets as family members drive this market.
