Around 12 hours of driving, roughly 560km. That is a long day and most people split it over two.
Works from either end. The only real difference is whether the hard hour comes first or last.
Before you set off
Roughly 560km and about 12 hours, traffic depending. Roughly 12 hours from Delhi and mountainous for the final stretch. Splitting the drive overnight is strongly advisable. The valley road is narrow with steep drops.
Railhead if you would rather not drive: No practical rail access. Nearest airport is Bhuntar, about an hour away.
Leaving Noida
Kasol and Parvati Valley lies due north of Noida, roughly 560km by road. Noida gets out easily eastward and painfully westward. The Yamuna and Noida Greater Noida expressways are among the better roads in the country, and the crossings into Delhi are among the worst, so a route that never touches the city saves an hour that no amount of early starting will.

Veterinary access at the far end
Very limited locally. Nearest reliable veterinary care is Bhuntar or Kullu, roughly an hour away. Carry a first aid kit.

Timing it from Noida
Delhi's climate: over 45C in summer, difficult winter air quality.
Diwali and summer heat.
Set that against Kasol and Parvati Valley, where the advice is to go march to june, september to october and avoid winter. 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 12 hours this is a long day out of Noida, and most people split it. Medication and paperwork travel in the same bag, and that bag travels in the cabin of the car rather than the boot. Anything the dog takes daily, a copy of the prescription, the vaccination card and your regular vet's number. On a 12 hour journey the odds of needing any of it are low, and the cost of having packed it under three suitcases is an hour you do not have.
