What to ask before leaving your pet at a boarding place
Boarding means days and nights in an unfamiliar place. Ask these questions well before you leave, not on the day.
- Where your pet will live. The sitter's flat, a private house, a kennel or a hotel room. Are there other animals or children.
- See the place in advance. Ideally bring your pet: you see the conditions, and your pet gets to know the smells.
- Vaccinations and treatments for every guest. A good boarding place asks everyone for the vet passport — including you.
- Your own food for the whole stay, with extra. A sudden change of food often upsets the stomach.
- Updates and the vet. How often you get photos, which clinic is nearby, and who decides if your pet gets ill. Agree on this in writing.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between home boarding and a pet hotel?
Home boarding usually means a person's home with one or two animals. A hotel is a separate facility with kennels or rooms, staff and a routine.
When should I book?
As soon as you know your dates. Places go first before holidays and in summer, and a meeting and trial day take time.
What should I bring?
Food, bowls, a bed or something that smells of home, a leash, the vet passport, and medicines with a note on how and when to give them.
What if I have a cat?
Cats handle moving harder than dogs. They are often calmer at home — then home visits work: someone comes to feed, clean the litter box and play.
