Top-rated pet hotels and pet sitters in South District for dogs:
[In-home pet boarding — pet sitter Daisy]
1️⃣ Host info: As a personal studio owner, Daisy is home for long stretches and can spend plenty of time with your pet. She has one cat and one dog — a one-year-old American Shorthair 🐱 and a five-year-old Corgi 🐶 — so your pet will have furry companions to interact with and won’t feel lonely.
2️⃣ Space info: Living room is approx. 10 ping; dining area approx. 15 ping. If you’re worried your pet doesn’t get along well with others, there’s a sliding door (see photo 3) that completely separates the living room and dining area, giving your pet a more secure space.
3️⃣ Space allocation: A maximum of two dogs or two cats from the same household can board at the same time. Pets from different households are kept in separate areas. If a boarding pet is too shy or doesn’t get along with Daisy’s own pets, that pet will be given its own private space.
4️⃣ Food info: Dog food is provided for boarding dogs. For cats, since each cat has its own habits, it’s recommended that you bring your cat’s usual food and litter (litter is also available on-site). Occasional treats are offered to dogs and cats — if you’d prefer otherwise, Daisy will ask in advance.
5️⃣ Toilet info: In addition to two daily walks (morning and evening), Daisy will check in advance whether your dog uses a potty pad. Potty pads are placed on the balcony (rear balcony for cats, front balcony for dogs).
Daisy’s in-home pet boarding is ideal for pets that need small-group care, cage-free stays, walks and space, 24-hour companionship, and owners who want regular updates.

Choosing between a pet hotel and a pet sitter
Both pet hotels and pet sitters are great options for looking after your pet — the right choice really depends on your own needs and situation. If you need to be away from home for an extended period, or want your pet to have an independent living experience in a new environment, a pet hotel or in-home boarding could be a great fit. At a pet hotel, your pet gets professional care and management, can socialize and play with other animals, and learn good habits. With in-home boarding, your pet gets one-on-one, cage-free, customized care. Both options include regular updates to keep you in the loop while you’re away. If you’re only leaving briefly, or if your pet doesn’t adjust well to new surroundings, an in-home pet sitter is likely the better choice — the sitter comes to your home, which minimizes stress from environmental changes and lets your pet receive personalized care in a familiar space.
Pet sitter and pet hotel — frequently asked questions
1. How do you let an in-home pet sitter into your home when you’re not there?
Through a pre-arranged home visit, the sitter can come meet your pet for the first time, get familiar with the care environment, and learn where food bowls, litter boxes, and cleaning supplies are kept — as well as get to know your pet’s personality. During the home visit, you can discuss how to hand over a key; many pet owners arrange this through their building’s front desk. You can also verify the sitter’s identity on the platform, confirm cameras are set up at home, and check the sitter’s reviews.
2. How are pet sitters screened? Can you trust a stranger?
All pet sitters on the Fluv platform are animal lovers with pet ownership or volunteer experience. They go through identity verification and complete training courses before becoming a pet sitter. You can also browse sitter ratings and reviews through Fluv’s review system to find someone you feel confident trusting.
3. Who is responsible if my pet gets injured?
Every booking on the pet sitter platform includes insurance coverage. If an accident occurs during care, compensation is provided by the pet sitter, with a deductible of NT$5,000. For amounts exceeding the deductible, Cathay Century Insurance provides additional medical coverage up to NT$15,000.
4. My pet is shy around strangers — is a pet sitter or pet hotel still a good option?
If your pet is shy or slow to warm up, a home visit in advance lets your pet meet the sitter for the first time and start building trust. If you still have concerns, the sitter and owner can discuss together whether this care arrangement is a good fit. If your pet is aggressive, pet sitter services may not be suitable — this protects both the sitter and your pet from getting overly stressed and potentially having an accident.
5. My pet needs medication or wound care — can a pet sitter help?
For any special requirements, you can book a pet sitter who specifically lists medical care skills in their profile. You can also discuss the details when booking and clearly explain the medical care needs to the sitter or pet hotel beforehand.
6. When would you need pet boarding, a pet hotel, or a pet sitter?
As a pet parent, whether you have a cat or a dog, there will be times when you need to travel and can’t bring your furry family member along.
7. Which type of pet boarding is best for your pet?
If you’re not lucky enough to have a nearby friend or family member who can look after your pet for a few days (or weeks), you’ll probably need to book some form of pet boarding — so what kind of price range are we talking? The answer isn’t straightforward. Based on research, pet boarding costs can range from NT$500 to NT$3,000 depending on location, pet size, and services included. As a responsible pet parent, your job is to figure out which type of boarding or care arrangement is the best fit for your cat or dog.
8. How much does a pet hotel, pet boarding, or pet sitter cost?
Several factors affect pet boarding prices. First is your location — if you live in a major city or tourist area, demand is higher, so pet hotels and boarding options near you will likely cost more. Even in smaller towns or rural areas, prices can be high because you have fewer choices, and providers with less competition can maintain higher rates. Another factor is your pet’s size — cat sizes tend to be similar, but dog size significantly affects pricing, especially for medium to large dogs. Ultimately, though, the biggest factor is the type of boarding you choose. There are many different options out there, but it all comes down to your pet’s specific needs and how much you’re able to spend.
[Final thoughts] The above is a roundup of pet hotels and pet sitters in Taichung’s South District — we hope it’s helpful for pet owners in the area. When choosing between a pet hotel and a pet sitter, take time to assess your own needs, ask about the services and any important details, try a trial day care visit or home visit, and make sure your pet gets the best possible care.
