Traveling for Chinese New Year and not sure what to do with your pet? During the holiday rush, popular pet hotels fill up fast and prices spike! Want to know the latest rates for New Year pet boarding? Whether you’re looking for a cage-free environment or a caring in-home sitter, this complete New Year pet boarding guide covers price comparisons and tips for choosing the right option \u2014 so you can avoid the pitfalls and find the best care for your furry family member!<\/strong><\/p>\n Table of contents<\/p>\n If you’re not lucky enough to have friends or family nearby who can look after your pet for a few days (or weeks), you’ll probably need to book a pet boarding service for the New Year holidays \u2014 but what kind of prices are we talking about? The answer isn’t straightforward. Based on research, depending on location, pet size, and services included<\/strong>, pet boarding costs can range anywhere from $500 to $3,000<\/strong>. As a responsible pet owner, it’s your job to figure out which New Year boarding option works best for your cat or dog.<\/p>\n Several key factors affect the price of pet boarding:<\/strong><\/p>\n The first is your location. If you live in a large city or a popular tourist destination, demand is higher, so pet hotels and boarding services in your area will naturally charge more during the New Year holidays. Even in smaller towns or rural areas, prices can still be steep \u2014 because you have fewer options, and providers face less competition, allowing them to maintain higher rates.<\/p>\n Another factor is your pet’s size. Cats tend to be more uniformly sized, but a dog’s size can significantly affect the price \u2014 especially for medium to large dogs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n But the most important factor is the type of boarding you choose. There are many different options for New Year pet boarding, and the right one depends on your pet’s needs and your budget.<\/p>\n Traditional cage-based pet hotels are the most common and widely recognized form of pet boarding. Most New Year pet hotels operate this way. They offer basic care \u2014 feeding, water, one to two walks or play sessions per day, and sometimes time with other dogs or cats.<\/strong> Pets are usually kept in a cage or small enclosure at night, and additional walks or playtime typically cost extra.<\/p>\n Price:<\/b> Prices vary, but most cage-based pet hotels fall in the $400\u20131,100<\/strong> range. For example, Hehuan Pet Hotel in Sanxia<\/a> (map<\/a>) charges $500\/day for small dogs and $800\/day for large dogs. Woof Inn in Taipei’s Minsheng Community<\/a> charges $650\u20131,100<\/strong> per night (map<\/a>), with an additional after-care fee if pick-up is after 7pm (charged between 7\u20139pm).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n If you want the ultimate in luxury, a high-end New Year pet hotel might be the answer. These are designed for social dogs who don’t do well in cages. They typically offer private rooms, beds, air conditioning, and even TV time. Most luxury pet hotels feature 24-hour cameras, swimming pools, and activity areas \u2014 your dog’s holiday might honestly look better than yours.<\/strong><\/p>\n Price:<\/b> Luxury doesn’t come cheap \u2014 high-end New Year pet hotels typically cost $800 to $1,800<\/strong> per day. For example, Nordic Pet Hotel<\/a>, which has a swimming pool, charges up to $1,800<\/strong> per day (map<\/a>).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n These hotels fill up quickly \u2014 book at least one to two months in advance.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Many animal hospitals offer boarding services, and some pet owners find it reassuring that their pet is already familiar with the staff. While it may seem like a natural fit \u2014 especially for pets on medication \u2014 American veterinarian Dr. Ken Tudor notes that it isn’t always the best option for dogs.<\/p>\n “Many animal hospitals use traditional, clinical metal cages for boarding, because medication and surgery are the primary concern \u2014 it’s better suited to short-term care rather than comfortable long-term stays.”<\/strong><\/p>\n Price:<\/b> Animal hospital boarding rates during the New Year holidays vary by location, but generally fall in the $350\u2013$1,500<\/strong> range. For example, Xinxin Animal Hospital<\/a> charges $350\u2013$450<\/strong> per day (map<\/a>).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n The newest and most popular New Year pet boarding option in Taiwan is platform-based in-home pet boarding<\/strong> \u2014 a trend that has been popular in Western countries for about a decade. Your pet stays in a personal sitter’s home and is treated just like one of their own. Your cat or dog can roam freely, lounge on the furniture, and cuddle on demand. This option is ideal for pet owners who are worried about sending their pet to a crowded cage-based hotel, or who want personalized, one-on-one care for their pet.<\/strong><\/p>\n Home is always the most comfortable place for your pet \u2014 and the second most comfortable place is someone else’s home.<\/p>\n Wu Ru-ting<\/strong> offers in-home pet boarding in Sanchong, New Taipei City through the Fluv platform. She believes in-home boarding is the best possible environment for pets.<\/p>\n “When I do in-home boarding, I provide personalized care. I only look after one pet at a time. I give them the kind of love and attention they’d never get in a cage-based facility \u2014 and there’s no cage, ever. They come with me when I go out, we go on walks, we visit the park, and they can even sleep with me.”<\/strong><\/p>\n Taipei pet owner Anny Pai<\/strong> has said: “In-home boarding is the best thing for our little guy. The sitter’s whole family treats him like their own.”<\/p>\n Price:<\/b> In-home pet boarding is actually very affordable compared to other options. Platform matching fees are typically $600 to $1,100<\/strong> per day; daytime-only care (12 hours) is around $300.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Wu Ru-ting, for example, charges around $700\/day for a spacious 50-ping home, with one-on-one care and no cage.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
