Looking for top-rated pet hotels and dog boarding services near Xindian, Xiaobitan, and Qizhang? Fluv has handpicked 3 professional pet sitters in the Xindian area for 2025, with a full rundown of reviews, pricing, and care styles across multiple options — including cage-free boarding and dog daycare, so you can find the perfect stay for your furry family member.

What is a pet sitter?

A pet sitter is someone who genuinely loves animals and has hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats — and comes to your home to look after your pet while you’re away. This model is already hugely popular in Western countries, with platforms like Rover and PetBacker helping owners find nearby, available sitters. In Taiwan, Fluv offers the same kind of in-home pet sitter matching service. Compared to a traditional pet hotel, in-home pet sitting is a much better fit for modern pet parents — it saves you the trip of dropping off and picking up your pet, and keeps your furry friend in a familiar environment where they feel safe and stress-free.

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

 

Which pets are a good fit for a pet sitter?

 

In-home care

The sitter comes to your home and takes care of everything — feeding, tidying up the space, playtime, and sending you updates on how your pet is doing. You can schedule a free meet-and-greet visit beforehand so the sitter can get familiar with your home and meet your pet for the first time.

This is a great option for cats that prefer staying home or dogs with mobility issues. If you have multiple pets, in-home care is also a fantastic value — your pets stay in their own familiar environment without any disruption.

 

Pet boarding & daycare

Your pet stays at the sitter’s home, where they receive one-on-one care and are free to roam around comfortably. Services include feeding, general care, playtime, and regular photo updates to keep you in the loop. The experience is cage-free and fully customized to your pet’s needs.

Best suited for sociable, energetic dogs.

 

Long-term home care

A great alternative for owners who are away for an extended period and don’t want to leave their pet in a caged hotel. A pet sitter steps in to maintain your pet’s normal daily routine — including outdoor walks — even when you’re not around.

Ideal for owners who travel frequently or are away for longer stretches.

 

Dog walking service

When you’re stuck at work or something comes up and you can’t make it home, but your dog still needs to go out — a pet sitter can walk your dog for you. Your pup gets to stretch their legs and do their business, even when you’re not there.

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

 

Free meet-and-greet visit

Before committing to a booking, you can schedule a free home visit to meet the sitter, see the environment, and let your pet warm up to them at their own pace. Once everyone feels comfortable, you can go ahead and make your first official booking.

 

With every service, your pet sitter will send you photos throughout the session — so even when you’re away, you can always see what your furry little one is up to. Sweet and reassuring!

Pet sitter FAQ

 

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

Through a pre-service home visit, the sitter comes over early to meet your pet for the first time and get familiar with the space — where the food bowls, litter box, and cleaning supplies are kept — and to get a feel for your pet’s personality.

During the visit, you and the sitter can work out how to hand over the keys. Many owners arrange this through their building’s front desk concierge.

 

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

All pet sitters on Fluv are animal lovers with hands-on experience caring for pets, often including volunteer work. They go through identity verification and training before they can join the platform. You can also check each sitter’s ratings and reviews through Fluv’s review system to find someone you feel truly confident about.

 

3. Who is responsible if my pet gets injured?

Every booking includes insurance coverage. If an accident happens during a care session, the pet sitter is responsible for compensation, with a deductible of NT$3,000. For costs beyond the deductible, Cathay Century Insurance provides additional veterinary 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 on the shy or slow-to-warm-up side, a pre-service home visit is the perfect solution — it gives your pet a chance to meet the sitter in a low-pressure setting and start building trust. If you still have concerns after that, the sitter and owner can talk it through together and decide what’s best.

If your pet has a history of aggression, a pet sitter may not be the right fit — both for the sitter’s safety and to avoid putting your pet in a situation that could become stressful or dangerous.

 

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

For any special medical needs, look for a pet sitter who has listed medical care skills in their profile. You can also bring it up directly when messaging a sitter before booking, and make sure to walk them through all the details clearly.
