Planning a comfortable stay for your cat in Taipei’s Xinyi District in 2025? Fluv has handpicked 9 top-rated cage-free cat hotels, with details on facilities, care styles, and pricing — plus local professional cat sitters, pet sitting, and in-home care options to help you find the perfect fit for your furry companion.
What is a pet sitter?
A pet sitter is a caring individual with hands-on experience looking after dogs and cats, who provides care either at the owner’s home or their own. This model is already hugely popular in Western countries — companies like Rover and PetBacker help pet owners find nearby, available sitters — and in Taiwan, Fluv offers the same kind of pet sitter service.
What does a pet sitter do?
• In-home care
The pet sitter comes to the owner’s home to provide care, including feeding, tidying up the environment, playtime, and status updates to the owner. You can arrange a home visit in advance so the sitter can familiarise themselves with the space and meet your pets for the first time. Great for cats that don’t like going out, or dogs with mobility issues.
• Pet boarding
Your pet stays at the sitter’s home and receives one-on-one attention, with the freedom to roam around a home environment. Services include feeding, care, playtime, and owner updates — with the hallmark of being cage-free and fully customised. Ideal for social, high-energy dogs.
• In-home boarding
Your pet stays at the sitter’s home and receives one-on-one attention, with the freedom to roam around a home environment. Services include feeding, care, playtime, and owner updates — cage-free and fully customised. Ideal for social, high-energy dogs.
Regardless of which service you choose, your pet sitter will send photo updates so you can see your furry friend even when you’re away — reassuring and heartwarming!

She has a sharp eye for detecting abnormal symptoms. Her background includes 10+ years as a registered nurse, cat hotel sitter experience, care for paralysed/demented/kidney-failure/senior dogs and cats, subcutaneous and tube-feeding experience, ongoing coursework in canine and feline behaviour and care, senior animal communicator and SSR Reiki practitioner, and over 160 five-star reviews.

Choosing between a pet hotel and a pet sitter
Both pet hotels and pet sitters are great options for caring for your pet — the right choice depends on your specific needs and situation.
If you’ll be away for an extended period, or need your pet to adapt to an independent environment, a pet hotel or home pet boarding may be the way to go. At a pet hotel, your pet gets professional care and management, plus the chance to socialise and play with other dogs. With home pet boarding, your pet gets one-on-one, cage-free, personalised care. Both options include regular status updates so you can travel with peace of mind.
If you’ll only be away briefly, or your pet doesn’t adapt well to new environments, an in-home pet sitter is often the better fit. The sitter comes to your home, reducing the stress of environmental change and allowing your pet to receive personalised care in familiar surroundings. Just make sure to use a pet sitter platform that verifies sitter identities to ensure ID checks and safe key handover.
[Closing thoughts]
The above covers some of the pet hotels and pet sitters in Taipei’s Xinyi District — we hope it’s helpful for pet owners. When choosing between a pet hotel and a pet sitter, consider your own needs and circumstances, ask detailed questions about services and policies, try an introductory session or home visit, and make sure your furry friend gets the best care possible.

Pet sitter FAQ
1. How does the sitter get into your home when you’re away?
Through a home visit arranged in advance, the sitter can come to your home for a first meeting with your pet, get familiar with the care environment, and learn where the food bowls, litter box, 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 a key; many owners do this through their building’s front desk.
2. How are pet sitters screened? Can I trust a stranger?
All pet sitters on Fluv are animal lovers with pet care and/or volunteer experience. They go through identity verification and training before becoming a sitter. You can also read ratings and reviews left by other pet owners through Fluv’s review system to find a sitter you feel confident about.
3. Who is responsible if my pet gets hurt?
Every booking includes insurance coverage. If an accident occurs during care, the pet sitter is responsible for compensation, with a deductible of NT$5,000. For costs exceeding the deductible, Cathay Insurance provides additional medical coverage of up to NT$15,000.
4. My pet is very shy — is a pet sitter a good fit?
If your pet is shy or takes time to warm up, you can arrange a home visit in advance so they can meet the sitter for the first time in their own space and start building trust. If you still have concerns, the sitter and owner can discuss together whether the arrangement is a good fit.
If your pet is aggressive, a pet sitter may not be the right option — this is both for the sitter’s safety and to prevent your pet from getting too stressed or worked up.
5. My pet needs medication or wound care — can a pet sitter help?
For any special needs, you can book a sitter who lists medical care skills in their profile. You can also discuss your pet’s needs directly with the sitter when booking and provide clear instructions on the medical care required.
