Dog daycare is for the day: you drop your dog off with a sitter in the morning and collect it in the evening, from 180 ₪ per day. Boarding is for trips: your dog lives at the sitter's home day and night, from 220 ₪ per day. Choose daycare when you are home at night but away all day, and boarding when you are away overnight.
Dog daycare
Daycare suits:
- owners working long days who do not want their dog alone for nine or ten hours;
- dogs that bark, howl or get bored alone;
- young dogs that need company and activity;
- one-day trips.
Your dog gets at least two walks, rest in a calm home and company, and you receive a photo and video report. Regular weekly days can be arranged.
Boarding
Boarding suits trips of one night or more. Your dog sleeps at the sitter's home, gets at least three walks a day and keeps a routine close to the one at home. Large dogs over 25 kg cost 260 ₪ per day.
Other options
- Midday walk from 70 ₪ if your dog only needs a break in the day.
- Overnight sitter at your home from 380 ₪ per night if your dog should not change places.
- Pet taxi from 180 ₪ to take your dog to daycare or boarding.
Quick decision
| Situation | Best fit |
|---|---|
| Long working day | Daycare or midday walk |
| One-day trip | Daycare |
| Trip with overnight stays | Boarding or overnight sitter |
| Anxious dog, trip | Overnight sitter |
Trying daycare before a trip
A daycare day is also a good trial before the first boarding stay. Your dog gets to know the sitter and the home without spending a night away, and you see how it settles from the photo and video report. Many owners book one or two daycare days a week or two before a longer trip.
