Providers price risk as well as work. A job with unknowns costs more to guarantee, which is why two quotes for the same request can differ so much. The specifics vary across Detroit, so confirm them with the provider you hire.
Is Pet Boarding cheaper in smaller cities?
Often, but not always. Smaller markets can carry a travel or availability premium that offsets a lower local rate, so it is worth checking a nearby city before assuming the lowest published figure applies to you. For Detroit, ask a provider to put that in writing with the quote.
How many quotes should I get for pet boarding?
Two or three written quotes are enough to see the real market range. Compare the same scope side by side, and ask each provider what is excluded and what would change the price after the quote is accepted. Providers serving Detroit can tell you how it affects a typical job.
