[2025 Yonghe & Dingxi Station cat hotel recommendations] Top-rated cat boarding roundup + 3 cat sitter picks

Looking for top-rated cat hotels near Yonghe and Dingxi Station? Fluv has handpicked 3 professional cat sitters and cage-free cat boarding services for 2025, covering pricing, environment, and care details — plus in-home care options to help you find the perfect solution for your cat.

What is a pet sitter?

A pet sitter is a caring individual with experience looking after dogs and cats who provides in-home care for pets in the owner’s own environment. This approach 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 a similar pet sitter matching service. Compared to traditional pet hotels, pet sitter matching is a more modern and convenient approach for pet owners — sitters come to you, saving you the hassle of drop-offs and pickups, and your pet stays in a familiar environment without the stress.

Many pet owners highly recommend pet sitter services. Fluv is Taiwan’s largest pet sitter platform.

Which pets are a good fit for pet sitter services?

In-home care

The pet sitter visits your home to provide care, including feeding, tidying up, playtime, and status updates to you as the owner. You can schedule a free meet-and-greet visit in advance so the sitter can get familiar with your home and meet your pet for the first time.

Great for cats who prefer to stay home or dogs with mobility issues. If you have multiple pets, in-home care is also a cost-effective choice that lets your pets move freely in their own familiar space.

Pet boarding & day care

Your pet stays at the sitter’s home and receives one-on-one care, free to roam and play in a home environment. Services include feeding, general care, playtime, and regular updates to the owner — all cage-free and fully customized.

Best for sociable, energetic dogs.

Long-term home boarding

A great alternative to a pet hotel for owners who are away for extended periods and don’t want their pet kept in a cage. A pet sitter maintains your pet’s daily routine, and can even take them out for walks while you’re away.

Ideal for owners with long-term travel needs.

Dog walking service

When you’re working late or something unexpected comes up and your dog needs a bathroom break, a pet sitter can step in for a walk — so your pup gets to go out and have fun even when you’re not home.

Best suited for medium to large, high-energy dogs like Huskies, mixed breeds, Border Collies, Golden Retrievers, and more.

Free meet-and-greet visit

We offer a complimentary meet-and-greet visit before you commit to any service. You can schedule a free visit so you and your pet can get to know your sitter and their home environment, building rapport before the booking officially begins.

For every service, your pet sitter will send you photo updates so you can see what your furry friend is up to — even when you’re away. Peace of mind, guaranteed!

Pet sitter FAQ

1. How do you let the sitter into your home when you’re not there?

Through a pre-service meet-and-greet visit, the sitter can come to your home early to meet your pet for the first time, get familiar with the care environment, and note where food bowls, litter boxes, and cleaning supplies are kept — while also getting a sense of your pet’s personality.

During the visit, you and the sitter can work out how to hand over a key. Many owners arrange this through their building’s front desk.

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

All Fluv pet sitters are animal lovers with experience owning pets or volunteering with animals. They go through identity verification and training before joining the platform. You can also check each sitter’s ratings and reviews through Fluv’s review system to find someone you feel confident about.

3. Who is responsible if my pet gets injured?

Every booking includes insurance coverage. If an accident occurs during care, the pet sitter is responsible for compensation, with a deductible of NT$3,000. For costs exceeding the deductible, Cathay Century Insurance provides additional coverage for medical expenses up to NT$15,000.

4. My pet is shy around strangers — is a pet sitter still a good fit?

If your pet is on the shy or slow-to-warm-up side, a meet-and-greet visit is a great way to ease them in — it gives your pet a chance to meet the sitter before care begins and start building trust. If you’re still unsure, you and the sitter can talk it through together and decide what’s best.

If your pet tends to be aggressive, a pet sitter may not be the right fit — both to protect the sitter and to prevent your pet from becoming overly stressed or worked up.

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

For any special needs, look for a pet sitter who has listed medical care as one of their skills. You can also discuss your pet’s specific medical care needs directly with the sitter when booking to make sure everything is clearly communicated.
