Pet sitter and pet hotel FAQ

1. How does an in-home pet sitter access your home when you’re away?

Through a prior home visit, the sitter can meet your pet for the first time, get familiar with the care environment, and learn where the food bowls, litter box, and cleaning supplies are kept — as well as get to know your pet’s personality. During the visit, you can discuss how to hand over the keys; many pet owners do this through their building’s front desk. You can also verify the sitter’s identity through the platform’s screening process, set up a home camera, and check the sitter’s reviews for peace of mind.

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

All pet sitters on the Fluv platform are animal lovers with pet ownership or volunteer experience, and must go through identity verification and training before becoming a sitter. Pet owners can also read ratings and reviews through the Fluv review system to find a sitter they 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, the sitter is liable for compensation, with an excess of NT$5,000. For costs beyond the excess, Cathay Insurance provides additional medical coverage of 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 on the shy or slow-to-warm-up side, a prior home visit can help them 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 arrangement is the right fit.

If your pet tends to be aggressive, a pet sitter service may not be suitable — this protects both the sitter and your pet from potential incidents caused by stress or overstimulation.

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

For any special needs, you can book a pet sitter who has listed medical care skills in their profile. You can also discuss this directly with the sitter or pet hotel when booking, and make sure to clearly communicate all medical care details.

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 simply can’t bring your pet along.

7. Which boarding option is the best fit for your pet?

If you’re not lucky enough to have nearby family or friends who can look after your pet for a few days (or weeks), you’ll likely need to book pet boarding — but 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 the services included. As a 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 key factors affect the cost of pet boarding:

The first is your location. If you live in a major city or tourist area, demand is higher, so pet hotels and boarding services nearby will generally cost more. Even in smaller towns or rural areas, prices can still be high because you have fewer options — with less competition, providers can maintain higher rates.

Another factor is the size of your pet. Cats are fairly uniform in size, but dogs vary significantly, and larger medium-to-large dogs typically cost more to board.

Ultimately, the biggest factor is the type of boarding you choose. There are many options available, and it really comes down to your pet’s needs and how much you’re able to spend on pet boarding.
