It's the most common question before summer. The short answer: in Santiago a day at a dog hotel usually costs between CLP 17,000 and CLP 24,000. The longer answer depends on what each rate includes, whether VAT is included and what your dog needs. Here are the references and how to compare well.
The price range in Santiago

What makes the price go up or down
- Your dog's needs: medication, special diets or care.
- Its behaviour: dogs that need more supervision or separate spaces.
- The length of the stay.
- Extra services: transport, grooming or veterinary care.
- The season: in summer and over the holidays demand rises and places fill up early.
How to compare without mistakes
Two similar prices may not be comparable. Before deciding, check three things:
- VAT: is it included or added? CLP 17,000 + VAT is CLP 20,230.
- Day or night: some charge per day, others per night.
- What's included: where the dog spends the day, how many hours it's loose, whether you get photos and whether there's a vet on site.
The Place's prices
Boarding starts at CLP 17,000 + VAT a day (CLP 20,230 with VAT). The final price depends on the evaluation of your dog's behaviour, its needs and whether it requires medication.
For people who need something regular we have a monthly program: about 2.5 days a week of socialization, exercise and stay, with transport included. Veterinary care costs extra and is arranged in advance.
| Service | Price |
|---|---|
| Dog boarding | from CLP 17,000 + VAT a day |
| Monthly program, Tuesday to Thursday | CLP 265,000 a month |
| Monthly program, Thursday to Saturday | CLP 265,000 a month |
| Monthly program, Saturday to Monday | CLP 300,000 a month |
Why it pays to book early
In Chile, Google searches for a dog hotel or daycare went from about 4,600 a month in August 2026 to more than 10,000 in January 2026: summer more than doubles demand. Also, at The Place's new dogs first come to a meet-and-greet, so if it's your dog's first time, get in touch early.
