Luxury vs. Cheap Dog Boarding in Indianapolis: What’s the Real Difference?

Not All Dog Boarding Is Created Equal

If you've ever searched dog boarding Indianapolis or cheap dog boarding near me, you've probably seen prices that range from budget to boutique.
It can be tempting to go for the lowest price, but boarding your dog is about more than a bed and food — it's about safety, structure, and peace of mind.

At Big N' Small Paws 317, we see the difference every day when new clients tell us what went wrong at cheaper kennels — from overcrowding to anxious, exhausted dogs coming home. Here's what truly separates luxury dog boarding from cheap dog boarding in Indianapolis.

🏡 The Environment — Calm vs. Chaos

What Cheap Boarding Looks Like

Budget boarding often means:
  • Dozens of dogs in a single noisy area
  • Minimal supervision
  • No structured breaks or enrichment time
  • Overstimulated dogs with elevated stress levels

What Luxury Boarding Feels Like

At Big N' Small Paws 317, our luxury suites are designed for calm energy:
  • Private, climate-controlled rooms
  • Clean, organized, and quiet spaces
  • Trainer-supervised playgroups
  • Rest periods built into every day

That's the difference between chaos and comfort.


🐶 Staff and Supervision

The Cheap Option

Cheaper facilities often run with limited staffing, meaning dogs spend long hours unattended or in crates.

The Big N’ Small Paws Difference

Our team includes trained professionals who understand dog behavior, body language, and stress signals.
We don't just watch dogs — we guide them, ensuring every stay supports calm and confidence.

Even state inspectors have commented on how clean, calm, and well-run our facility is.

💰Cost vs. Value — What Are You Really Paying For?

Cheap Dog Boarding

  • $30–$50 per night
  • Basic kennel setup
  • Group handling without structure
  • High dog-to-staff ratio

Luxury Dog Boarding

  • $75–$120 per night
  • Private suites and structure
  • Trainer oversight
  • Enrichment sessions and optional training refreshers

At first glance, the price difference seems big — but so is the experience your dog has.

🧠Why Structure Is the Real Luxury

True luxury boarding isn't about chandeliers or themed rooms — it's about structure and peace of mind.
Dogs thrive on predictability. Every day at Big N' Small Paws 317 follows a balanced schedule of walks, play, training, rest, and meals.

That structure keeps energy levels healthy and behavior steady — something cheap kennels just can't provide.
