Why In-Home Pet Sitting is Often Cheaper (and Safer) Than Boarding

If you have multiple pets, you might be surprised to learn that boarding isn’t just more stressful—it’s often more expensive!

The Math for Multi-Pet Families

Many boarding facilities charge per pet, which adds up fast. For example, a recent client with three dogs and two cats was facing daily boarding fees of $25 per dog and $22 per cat. By choosing Love and Kisses Pet Sitting, he paid one flat rate of just $37 per 30-minute visit for the entire fur-family.

By staying home, he avoided:

Per-Pet Surcharges: No paying individual fees for five different animals.
“Sunday Surcharges”: Many kennels are closed on Sundays, forcing you to pay for an extra night even if you’re already home.
The Commute: No more packing up the car and trekking to the kennel; we come to you!

Health and Happiness

Beyond the savings, keeping your pets at home protects them from common kennel risks:

Disease Prevention: Kennels are breeding grounds for Kennel Cough and the Canine Flu (H3N2). In your own home, your pet’s exposure to these viruses is zero.
Reduced Stress: There’s no “boarding anxiety.” Your pets stay relaxed in their own beds, following their own routines.
Personalized Care: Unlike kennels that charge extra for “luxury” treats or private walks, we include one-on-one attention, playtime, and medication administration in our standard visits.
