Was ist Dog Boarding?

Dog boarding is overnight care for your dog at a sitter's home. Unlike commercial kennels where dogs are housed in cages or runs alongside dozens of other animals, boarding with a pet sitter on The Pet Sitter means your dog stays in a real home environment with individual attention, regular walks, and a comfortable place to sleep.

Home-based boarding is consistently rated better for dogs' wellbeing than kennel boarding. Dogs maintain a normal routine — walks in the neighbourhood, meals at regular times, and plenty of human interaction. Most sitters treat boarding dogs like their own family members, which is especially important for anxious dogs or those who have never been away from home.

On The Pet Sitter, boarding sitters set their own rates and keep 100% of their earnings. That means competitive pricing for owners and fair pay for sitters — no 20% commission disappearing to a platform middleman.

Häufig gestellte Fragen

How much does dog boarding cost?

Rates vary by sitter and location, but typically range from $40–$80 per night. On The Pet Sitter, sitters set their own rates and keep 100% — no commission fees mean better value for owners.

Can my dog stay with other dogs?

Each sitter has a maximum number of pets they accept at once (shown on their profile). Many sitters have their own dogs too. During the meet-and-greet, you can see how the dogs interact.

What if my dog has special needs or medications?

Many of our sitters are experienced with special-needs dogs and medication administration. Check sitter profiles for their experience and certifications, and discuss specifics during the meet-and-greet.

Is boarding better than a kennel?

Home boarding provides a more natural, low-stress environment compared to commercial kennels. Your dog gets individual attention, a regular routine, and the comfort of a real home. Most dogs adapt faster and show less anxiety in a home setting.

What should I bring for my dog's boarding stay?

Bring enough food for the stay, any medications, a favourite toy or blanket for comfort, and your vet's contact details. The sitter will provide water bowls, bedding, and treats.
