[2025 Taipei Cat Hotel Recommendations] Three top-rated cat boarding options in Da’an and Xinyi Districts | Prices, boarding types & cat sitter care roundup

Fluv’s picks for 2025: three top-rated cat hotels and cat boarding services in Taipei’s Da’an and Xinyi Districts. We’ve compiled pricing, boarding styles, and care quality — plus an introduction to home-based pet boarding and cat sitter services — to help you quickly find the most reliable and professional care for your cat.

What is home-style pet boarding, and how is it different from a traditional pet hotel?

A pet sitter is a caring individual who already has experience looking after dogs or cats, and provides care when pet owners need it. This model is already very popular in Western countries — companies like Rover and PetBacker help owners find nearby, available pet sitters through their platforms. In Taiwan, Fluv offers a matching service for in-home pet sitters. Compared to traditional pet hotels, pet sitter matching is a more modern approach to pet care — not only can sitters visit your home to save you drop-off and pick-up time, but your pet also stays in a familiar environment, reducing anxiety.

Fluv has recently launched a home-style pet boarding matching service, allowing pet owners to have their pets stay with verified host families while they travel or go abroad.

Which pets are a good fit for pet boarding services?

Pet boarding and daycare matching

Your pet stays with a dog- or cat-loving host family whose home environment has been vetted by Fluv. Care is cage-free, giving pets the freedom to roam around the home. Services include feeding, general care, playtime, and regular updates to the owner. Key features: cage-free, customized care, and Cathay insurance coverage throughout. With a third-party platform keeping watch, you can head out with peace of mind!

《Ideal for owners who don’t want their pet caged, need multiple daily walks, or have customized care needs (e.g. medication, illness management, etc.)》

Long-term home boarding

A great alternative for owners who are away for an extended period and don’t want their pet stuck in a cage at a pet hotel. A trusted dog or cat lover steps in to keep your pet’s daily routine on track — so even when you’re not home, your furry friend is well looked after.

《Ideal for owners with long-term travel needs》

All services include a free pre-service home visit, so you can meet the caregiver or host family, see the environment, let your pet warm up to them, and confirm everything feels right before making a booking.

No matter which service you choose, the sitter will send photo updates throughout — so even when you’re away, you can always check in on your pet. Reassuring and heartwarming!

2. How are host families screened? 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 a home environment review before joining the platform. Pet owners can also read ratings and reviews left by other users through Fluv’s review system.

3. Who is responsible if my pet gets injured?

Every booking made through the platform includes insurance coverage. If an accident occurs during a boarding stay, the platform can facilitate the relevant insurance claim.

4. My pet is shy around strangers — is home boarding suitable?

If your pet is shy or takes time to warm up, you can arrange a pre-service home visit so they can experience the boarding environment for the first time and begin building trust. It’s a good idea to schedule a short 1–2 hour daycare session first, so your pet can get used to the space without you present. If you still have concerns, you can discuss with the host family whether it’s the right fit for this particular stay.

If your pet tends to be aggressive, home boarding may not be suitable — it’s best to avoid situations where excessive stress could lead to an incident.

5. My pet needs medication, wound care, or has a special medical condition — can a host family help?

For any special needs, discuss them with the sitter at the time of booking to confirm whether the relevant care can be provided, and clearly communicate all medical care details and your pet’s health status.
If you can share information about your pet’s regular vet clinic, the host can take them there promptly if any medical attention is needed during the stay.
