Pet Board

Would you rather board your pet at a national chain or a mom & pop pet hotel?

Would you be more comfortable leaving your pet with a major brand name such as PetsHotel, or with leaving them at an equally nice, friendly local establishment?



You should go and check all of your options out. If they're proud of what they do and how well they take care of the animals, they'll have no problem giving you information and a tour of the facilites. Be weary of places that prohibit tours, they may not want you to see something going on! Also ask them about health questions, such as do they also work with a vet? how is everything cleaned and how often? are there any medications that they won't administer? and what's thier schedule like on a typical day? also ask how well they monitor the animals - i've worked in boarding places that go as far as having security cameras in the rooms where the animals stay and mark down how much they eat and even when and where they go to the bathroom! but also some places only check the animals a few times a day, leaving them alone, sometimes in the dark, which makes it easy for a sickness or other problem go unnoticed for days. Things like that can make a big difference on how comfortable you and your pet feel about working with them.

What is a reasonable rate to pay someone to watch a pet?

I have a neighbor that watches my cat while I'm gone. She lives below me two floors, so she doesn't have to travel at all. Basically she just stops by once a day to feed my cat some wet food. Dry food, water, and litter box are taken care of, ie, she only needs to take care of the wet food.

I've been paying ~$6/day. I'm probably being cheap considering pet boarding is ~$20/day.

Thoughts? Thanks.



The vet tech who comes twice a day to give insulin to one of our cats only charged $15 per day even though she stopped here twice each day, and she was really low cost considering the standard here is $20 for one trip a day with extra $$ if medicine has to be given.
