Compare cat boarding vs. in-home care prices — which is better value? Fluv earnings and commission explained

When pet owners need to be away from home for an extended period and can’t bring their cats along, they need to find another way to care for them. In Taiwan, Fluv is a popular pet platform offering two services: cat boarding and in-home care. But which one gives you better value? Let’s take a look at Fluv’s cat boarding prices and in-home care base prices (excluding add-ons for special needs) and compare the pros and cons of each.

A comparison table of cat boarding fees and in-home care prices:

Service type	Number of cats	Duration	Price
Cat boarding	1	12 hours	NT$250
Cat boarding	1	24 hours	NT$500
Cat boarding	2	12 hours	NT$500
Cat boarding	2	24 hours	NT$1000
Cat boarding	3	12 hours	NT$750
Cat boarding	3	24 hours	NT$1500
In-home care	1–5	30 minutes	NT$400
In-home care	1–5	60 minutes	NT$800
In-home care	6–10	30 minutes	Not enough time — booking cannot be made
In-home care	6–10	60 minutes	NT$800
In-home care	6–10	90 minutes	NT$1200
In-home care	11–15	90 minutes	NT$1200

How pricing works:
(Excluding add-ons for special needs) Base price for cat boarding = number of cats × per 12 hours × listed rate (from $250)
(Excluding add-ons for special needs) Base price for in-home care = per 30 minutes × listed rate (from $400)

While Fluv offers a range of options, cat boarding can get expensive quickly when you need to be away for a long time. For example, boarding three cats for a full day already comes to $1,500. In-home care, by comparison, is a much more affordable choice. You can customize the service around your cats’ needs and schedule, without paying higher fees for extended boarding stays.

In-home care also gives you a lot more flexibility. You can arrange for a pet sitter to visit a few times a day, or just once every few days — whatever fits your routine and your cats’ lifestyle. And because your cats get to stay in their own familiar environment, they’ll feel more at ease, which helps reduce stress and anxiety.

Best of all, in-home care can save you a lot of money. If you have multiple cats, you pay one base fee rather than a separate charge per cat. You also won’t need to worry about extra costs for meals or other add-ons during a boarding stay. And if you have special cases — such as neonatal kittens, young kittens, pregnant cats, or senior cats — you can work with the cat sitter to arrange a customized care plan.

All in all, in-home care is a more affordable, convenient, and comfortable option — especially for pet owners who want their cats to receive the best care possible in the comfort of their own home. When choosing a pet platform, take the time to compare your options and find the one that best fits both your needs and your budget.
