Wondering what dog boarding actually costs in Katy, TX? Here's a straight answer with 2026 pricing, what's included, and how to save with multi-dog and long-stay discounts.
Dog boarding in Katy, TX starts at $49.44 per night for the first dog at Circle Lake Ranch Pet Resort, with multi-dog discounts available for dogs from the same household. That base rate includes climate-controlled lodging, daily outdoor playtime in our natural 13-acre dog park, fresh water, and administration of oral medications — no upcharges, no surprise fees.
Here's a plain-English breakdown of what boarding costs in Katy, what's included, and how the pricing compares to other options in the area.
2026 Dog Boarding Prices at Circle Lake Ranch
Our published overnight rates for boarding at 1134 FM 1463, Katy, TX 77494:
- First dog: $49.44/night
- Additional dogs from the same household (able to kennel together): discounted rate
- Assessment day (required for new dogs, one-time): $25 first dog / $20 second / $15 third
- Cash or check payment: 3% discount
- Playtime, individual attention, oral medications, ear drops, eye drops: included at no charge
What's Actually Included in the Nightly Rate
Many Katy-area kennels advertise a low base price and then charge separately for playtime, medication administration, or individual attention. At Circle Lake Ranch, those are baked into the nightly rate:
- Climate-controlled indoor kennel with cozy bedding
- Daily outdoor playtime in our natural dog park
- Fresh water and standard feeding schedule
- Oral and topical medication administration
- Individual attention from staff
- Group play for compatible dogs, matched by size and temperament
What Costs Extra
A few things do sit outside the base rate — but they're optional add-ons, not hidden fees:
- Grooming or a bath before pickup (from $25, priced by size)
- Food we supply (we recommend bringing your dog's regular food to avoid stomach upset)
- MagnaWave PEMF therapy sessions for senior or recovering dogs
How Katy Boarding Prices Compare
In the greater Katy / West Houston area, overnight dog boarding typically runs $40–$75 per night depending on the facility, size of the kennel, and what's included. Big-box national chains often quote a lower base price but stack fees for group play ($10–$15/day), medication ($3–$5 per dose), and individual attention. Once you add those in, most families end up paying $60–$85 per night.
Because our $49.44 rate already includes playtime and medication administration, the all-in price at Circle Lake Ranch is usually lower than the same stay at a chain kennel — and your dog spends their day on 13 acres of real ranch rather than a concrete run.
Ways to Save on Boarding
A few practical ways Katy families lower their total boarding cost:
- Board multiple dogs from the same household together for a per-dog discount
- Pay with cash or check for a 3% discount
- Book assessment day well ahead of a busy holiday stretch so you're not paying rush prices elsewhere
- Bring your dog's regular food (avoids diet-change vet bills)
