Leaving Navi Mumbai
Agra lies north east of Navi Mumbai, roughly 1330km by road. Navi Mumbai is the easiest departure in the Mumbai region and it is worth knowing that if you live anywhere near it. The Sion Panvel corridor and the expressway entry at Kalamboli mean you are on open road quickly, and the Atal Setu has made the reverse trip from south Mumbai far less painful.

Agra in one paragraph
The Taj Mahal does not permit pets, and there is no facility to leave a dog at the gate, so someone needs to stay behind. Easy same-day drive from Delhi on the expressway.
The full Agra guide carries the ground level detail: where dogs go, where they do not, and what to watch for.
Veterinary access at the far end
Several private clinics in Sadar and Civil Lines with reasonable hours. Agra is a large city, so care is easier to find here than at most destinations on this list.
Ask the property where they send guests' animals. Front desks usually know, and they know who actually opens at night. Emergency vets by city.
Timing it from Navi Mumbai
The same humidity and monsoon pattern as Mumbai, with rather more open ground, which helps for exercise and means more contact with ticks and stray animals.
Monsoon skin and paw problems, and firework season stress.
Set that against Agra, where the advice is to go october to march and avoid April to June. The overlap between those two windows is your actual travel season, and it is usually narrower than either one suggests on its own.
Doing this journey with your dog
At around 21 hours of driving this is two days each way, which is the argument for the train. Age changes the plan more than distance does. A senior dog needs the journey split rather than shortened, since stiffness arrives the morning after rather than during. A flat faced breed needs the cool hours whatever the distance, because panting is the entire cooling system and a warm car defeats it. Over 21 hours both become the main planning constraint.
Our breed climate checker scores how your breed copes with the conditions at Agra, and the travel hub has the other 56 destinations if this one turns out to be the wrong fit.
