When you fly abroad, the calmest options are cat visits at home (from 110 ₪), home boarding for dogs with a vetted sitter (from 220 ₪ per day) or an overnight sitter in your home (from 380 ₪ per night). PetHome Israel sends a photo and video report after every visit, so you can see your pet from any time zone. Book two to four weeks ahead for regular dates and earlier for holidays.
Choose the right format
Cats: most cats are happiest at home with one or two visits a day. Two visits (190 ₪ per day) suit kittens, seniors, cats on medication and trips longer than two weeks.
Dogs: home boarding gives walks, company and a home routine. Anxious, senior or reactive dogs often do better with an overnight sitter at home.
Several pets: an overnight sitter can care for everyone at once.
Small pets: rabbits, birds, fish and reptiles stay home with visits from 90 ₪.
Before you fly
- Book a meet-and-greet a few days before departure.
- Leave food for the whole trip plus two days.
- Write the routine, medication and vet details.
- Show the sitter the safe room, carrier and leash.
- Name a trusted contact in Israel who can make decisions.
- Agree a spending limit for emergencies.
While you are away
You receive photos and short videos after every visit. If your flight changes, tell us as soon as you know; extension conditions are confirmed in writing when you book. Time zones are not a problem: reports wait for you in the chat.
Getting your pet to the sitter
If your dog is boarding and you are short on time on departure day, a pet taxi from 180 ₪ collects it from your door. A pet taxi can also bring it home on the day you land.
Taking your pet with you?
If your pet is flying with you, check the official requirements of the Israeli Veterinary Services on gov.il, the destination country and your airline well in advance. We can help with care before departure and transport to Ben Gurion, but documents remain your responsibility.
Pricing
Bookings of 7 days or more get 10% off. Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot and Passover dates carry a 30% surcharge. The minimum order is 350 ₪. Every quote is confirmed in writing.
Several trips a year
If you travel often for work, a regular sitter is the easiest solution. The sitter keeps a spare key, knows your pet's routine and only needs your dates. Your pet sees a familiar face every time, which matters especially for cats and older dogs.
