Looking for a trustworthy cat hotel in Tamsui, New Taipei? Fluv has handpicked 9 high-quality cat boarding options, covering care styles, pricing, reviews, and environment highlights — plus recommendations for professional cat sitters and pet boarding in the area, to help pet owners find the best care solution with ease.
What is a pet sitter? How is it different from a pet hotel?
A pet sitter is a caring individual with experience looking after dogs and cats, who provides care for pets in the owner’s home. This model is already very popular in Western countries — companies like Rover and PetBacker help pet owners find nearby, available pet sitters to come to their home. In Taiwan, Fluv offers an in-home pet sitter matching service. Compared to traditional pet hotels, pet sitter matching is a more modern approach to pet care — it saves owners the hassle of drop-off and pick-up, and lets pets stay in a familiar environment, reducing anxiety.
Many pet owners highly recommend pet sitter services. Fluv is Taiwan’s largest pet sitter platform.
What kinds of pets are a good fit for a pet sitter?
We offer the following services:
In-home care
A pet sitter visits the owner’s home to provide care, including feeding, tidying the environment, playtime, and status updates to the owner. You can arrange a meet-and-greet visit in advance so the sitter can get familiar with the space and meet your pets for the first time.
Great for cats that dislike going out or dogs with limited mobility. If you have multiple pets at home, in-home care is also a great value option that lets your pets move around in their familiar environment.
Pet boarding and day care
Your pet stays at the sitter’s home, receiving one-on-one care in a comfortable residential space where they can roam freely. Services include feeding, care, playtime, and owner updates — with no caging and a fully personalised approach.
Great for outgoing dogs with higher energy levels.
Long-term home boarding
A great alternative for owners who are away for an extended period and don’t want their pet cooped up in a cage at a pet hotel. A professional sitter maintains your pet’s daily routine and can even take them out for walks while you’re away.
Great for owners with long-term travel needs.
Dog walking service
When you’re working late or something unexpected comes up and your dog needs to go outside, you can have a pet sitter walk your dog — even when you’re not home, a professional sitter can take your furry friend out for some fun and fresh air.
Great for medium to large, high-energy dogs like Huskies, mixed breeds, Border Collies, Golden Retrievers, and more.
Free introductory home visit
We offer a peace-of-mind home visit service. Before committing, you can book a free visit to meet the sitter, see the home environment, and let your pet get comfortable with them. Once everyone’s happy, you can go ahead and book the service.
Regardless of which service you choose, your pet sitter will send you photo updates so you can see your furry family member even when you’re away — reassuring and heartwarming!

Pet sitter and pet hotel FAQ
1. How does an in-home pet sitter access your home when you’re away?
Through a pre-arranged home visit, the sitter can come to your home beforehand for a first meeting with your pet, get familiar with the care environment, and learn where food bowls, litter boxes, and cleaning supplies are kept — while also getting to know your pet’s personality. During the visit, you and the sitter can discuss how to hand over the key; many owners arrange this through the building concierge. You can also verify the sitter’s identity through the platform, set up a home camera, and check the sitter’s reviews for extra 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 experience owning pets or doing volunteer work. They go through identity verification and training before becoming sitters. Pet owners can also read ratings and reviews through Fluv’s review system to choose a sitter they feel confident in.
3. Who is responsible if my pet gets hurt?
Every booking on the pet sitter platform includes insurance. If an accident occurs during care, the sitter is responsible for compensation, with an owner-borne excess of NT$5,000. For amounts beyond the excess, Cathay Century 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 side, a pre-arranged home visit 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 arrangement is a good fit.
If your pet tends to be aggressive, a pet sitter service may not be the right choice — not just to protect the sitter, but also to prevent your pet from getting too stressed or worked up and 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 has listed medical care skills in their profile. You can also discuss your pet’s medical care needs clearly with the sitter or hotel when booking.
6. When would I need pet boarding, a pet hotel, or a pet sitter?
As a pet owner — whether you have a cat or a dog — there will be times when you need to travel and can’t bring your pet along.
7. Which type of pet boarding is best for your pet?
If you’re lucky enough to have a friend or family member nearby who can look after your pet for a few days (or weeks), that’s wonderful — but if not, you’ll need to book a pet boarding option. So what’s the rough price range? There’s no single answer: 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 pet owner, it’s your job to figure out which type of boarding or care is the best fit for your cat or dog.
8. How much do pet hotels, pet boarding, and pet sitters cost?
A few key factors affect the price of pet boarding:
The first is your location. If you live in a big city or tourist area, demand is higher and pet hotels or boarding services nearby will generally be pricier. Even in smaller towns or rural areas, prices can still be high — fewer options mean less competition, so providers can keep their rates up.
Another factor is your pet’s size. Cats tend to be more uniform in size, but a dog’s size can significantly affect the price — especially for medium to large dogs.
But the most important factor is the type of boarding you choose. There are many different options, and ultimately it comes down to what’s best for your pet and how much you’re able to spend.
[Closing thoughts]
Above is an overview of several pet hotels and pet sitters in Tamsui District, New Taipei City — we hope it’s helpful for pet owners in the area. When choosing between a pet hotel and a pet sitter, take your own needs and circumstances into account, ask questions about services and what to watch out for, try a trial day care session or home visit, and make sure your pet gets the best possible care.
