[2025 Itabashi Ward cat hotel recommendations] Top-rated cat boarding & 3 cat sitter picks | Jiangzicui, Fuzhong, Xinpu, Asia Eastern Hospital station area complete guide

Looking for top-rated cat hotels near Banqiao, Fuzhong, or Xinpu stations in 2025? Fluv handpicks the best cage-free cat hotels and 3 professional pet sitters, with details on nearby boarding environments, care services, and pricing — plus an introduction to cat sitting and in-home care options to help you find the most reassuring choice for your pet.

What is a pet sitter?

A pet sitter is a caring individual with hands-on experience looking after dogs and cats, who comes to the pet owner’s home to provide care. This model is already very popular in Western countries — companies like Rover and PetBacker help owners find nearby, available pet sitters to come to their home. In Taiwan, Fluv offers a pet sitter matching service. Compared to traditional pet hotels, pet sitter matching is a more modern approach to pet care — sitters come to you, saving the hassle of drop-off and pick-up, and letting your furry family member stay in a familiar environment to reduce anxiety.

Many pet owners highly recommend pet sitter services. Fluv is Taiwan’s largest pet sitter platform.

Which pets are a good fit for pet sitter services?

In-home care

The pet sitter comes to the owner’s home to provide care, including feeding, tidying the environment, playtime, and status updates to the owner. You can schedule a meet-and-greet visit in advance so the sitter can get familiar with the space and meet your pets for the first time.

Great for cats that prefer staying home or dogs with limited mobility. If you have multiple pets, in-home care is also a cost-effective choice that lets them stay active in their own familiar space.

 

Pet boarding & day care

Your pet stays at the sitter’s home and receives one-on-one care, with the freedom to roam around a comfortable living space. Services include feeding, general care, playtime, and regular updates to the owner — all cage-free and fully customized.

Ideal for sociable, energetic dogs.

 

Long-term in-home care

A great alternative for owners who are away for extended periods and don’t want their pet stuck in a cage at a pet hotel. A pet sitter maintains your pet’s daily routine at home, and can even take them out for walks while you’re away.

Perfect for owners with long-term travel needs.

 

Dog walking service

When you’re working late or something unexpected comes up and your dog needs a bathroom break outside, a pet sitter can step in for a walk — so your pup gets out and has fun even when you can’t make it home.

Best suited for medium to large, high-energy dogs like Huskies, mixed breeds, Border Collies, Golden Retrievers, and more.

 

Free meet-and-greet home visit

We offer a complimentary home visit so you can meet your sitter, see the care environment, and let your pet warm up to them before committing to a booking. Once everything feels right, simply make your official reservation.

 

For every service, your pet sitter will send you photos and updates throughout, so you can see how your furry family member is doing — even from miles away. Heartwarming and reassuring!

Pet sitter FAQ

1. How does the sitter get into your home when you’re not there?

Through a pre-arranged home visit, the sitter can come by in advance to meet your pet for the first time and get familiar with the care environment — where food bowls, litter boxes, and cleaning supplies are kept — and learn more about your pet’s personality.

During the home visit, you and the sitter can discuss how to hand over a key. Many owners arrange this through their building’s front desk or management office.

 

2. How are pet sitters vetted? Can I trust a stranger?

All pet sitters on Fluv are animal lovers with pet ownership or volunteer experience. They go through identity verification and training courses before becoming a sitter. You can also read ratings and reviews from other owners through Fluv’s review system to choose someone you feel confident about.

 

3. Who is responsible if my pet gets hurt?

Every booking includes insurance coverage. If an accident occurs during care, the pet sitter is responsible for compensation, with a deductible of NT$3,000. For amounts exceeding the deductible, Cathay Century Insurance provides additional medical coverage of up to NT$15,000.

 

4. My pet is shy around strangers — is a pet sitter still a good option?

If your pet is timid or slow to warm up, a pre-arranged home visit is the perfect way to let them meet the sitter first and build some trust. If you still have concerns, the sitter and owner can discuss together whether the arrangement is the right fit.

If your pet has aggressive tendencies, pet sitter services may not be appropriate — both to protect the sitter and to prevent your pet from becoming overly stressed or anxious.

 

5. My pet needs medication or wound care — can a pet sitter help?

For any special medical needs, look for a pet sitter who lists medical care skills in their profile. You can also discuss your requirements directly with the sitter when booking and make sure all medical care details are clearly communicated.
