More comfortable than a pet hotel? Cage-free home boarding and pet sitter cost breakdown

Many pet owners care deeply about whether their pets will be caged and whether they can move around freely. In recent years, home boarding and pet sitters have become popular alternatives. These services not only offer cage-free living spaces but are often priced similarly to traditional pet hotels — and in some cases, even more affordable.

Taipei City

Wenshan District

Pet sitter Justin

Pet boarding environment:

• Highlights: Fluent in English and Mandarin Chinese. I’m a full-time sitter who works from home — except for occasional quick errands like grocery runs or picking up packages, your pet will never be left unsupervised or without company during boarding or daycare. I prefer medium to large dogs, so I only care for one client’s pet at a time. Pets staying with me will have at least 16 pings (approx. 53 m²) of space to roam freely anywhere outside the bedroom. Pet bedding provided. I take dogs outside at least twice a day for walks and bathroom breaks; if the weather doesn’t allow going out, there’s a balcony available. If your pet has accidents indoors, I’ll put a diaper on them — I’m unable to accommodate pets who have accidents and can’t wear diapers 😢 Your pet will have company most of the time. ✔️ Full photo reports ✔️ Customizable care ✔️ Cage-free ✔️ Playtime and companionship ✔️ At least 2 outdoor walks per day ✔️ Follow owner’s feeding routine ✔️ Occasional fresh homemade meals (ingredient-dependent) ✔️ Experienced with giving oral, eye drop, and topical medications ✔️ Puppies welcome ✔️ Senior dogs welcome ✔️ Shy dogs welcome ✔️ Free introductory home visit for new clients

Da’an District

Pet sitter Angela

Pet boarding environment:

• Holidays only. Fluent in ENGLISH/CANTONESE. 只會講英文和廣東話。 My pet sitting style has been described as “going to school” and “pet vacation” because I enjoy teaching furbabies new tricks and spending a lot of active time with them since I work from home. 🍚all meals are weighed to ensure appropriate feed amounts. Experience providing 💊 to both cats/dogs. 💩walking dogs/cats 2-3x a day; paws, butts, and other parts will be wiped/rinsed clean after every outing; parents to provide wipes, bags, litter, litter box, as needed. 🎾daily structured play time including tricks training for both dogs/cats; I only provide locally made, additive-free, freeze-dried chicken breast as treats. I have a track record of teaching cats 🙂 💤parents to provide bedding and personal effects, if required, and inform sleeping arrangements. Living room, private room, or bedroom are options. 🪥no grooming services provided except brushing fur and trimming nails (cat only). Any special needs, like fur conditioner, to be provided by parents. My philosophy is to treat furbabies how you’d treat your own kids. If they cry, you check on them and entertain them; if they misbehave, you don’t punish them, but teach them and reward the proper behavior; etc. Hope to help you out and host your 🐱🐶 during the holidays!

FAQ:

Q: Do pet hotel prices go up during the Lunar New Year?

Yes — the Lunar New Year is peak season for pet boarding, and most pet hotels raise their prices. Nightly rates may increase by NT$200–500 or more. We recommend booking early and checking whether meals and extra care services are included.

Q: How are pet hotel fees typically calculated?

Most charge per night or per visit. Small dogs and cats are usually around NT$400–800/night; large dogs can be NT$1,000 or more. Add-ons like bathing, extra meals, and insurance can also affect the total cost.

Q: Are pet sitters more expensive than pet hotels?

Not necessarily. Depending on whether it’s an in-home visit or overnight boarding, in-home visits typically cost around NT$400–600, while boarding rates are comparable to pet hotels — and in some cases even cheaper — with the added benefit of cage-free, one-on-one care.

Q: How do I find a pet hotel that fits my budget?

We recommend using the Fluv platform, where you can filter by price, search by area, and compare reviews to quickly find a pet hotel or sitter with fair pricing, great ratings, and available spots.
