Vancouver Dog Sitters, Kennels, Hotels, and Boarding

 

dog boarding options

As a pet owner, you are truly lucky that there are so many options available for boarding your dog in the greater Vancouver area. Let’s have a look at the three main options – the dog hotel, the dog kennel and the dog sitter, and then let’s look at the Jet Pet Resort dog boarding difference.

What are Dog Hotels?

A dog hotel is a type of pet boarding service that provides care for dogs while the animal’s owners are either out of town or need temporary care. The services and accommodations available at dog hotels in and around Vancouver can vary considerably by dog hotels, though basic care such as feeding and regular exercise is included. In many cases, dog owners have the option of choosing from a menu of services that may include additional playtime with a dog hotel staff member, dog walking and grooming services.

What are Dog Kennels

A dog kennel is a type of dog boarding service where dogs are housed temporarily in closer confines  A dog kennel can be a huge operation with multiple dog runs, grooming rooms and training hall or it can be at an individual’s house in a spare bedroom. Many dog kennels offer one-on-one playtimes in order to get the dog out of the kennel environment. Familiar objects, such as blankets and toys from home, are also permitted at many dog kennels. Similarly, many dog kennels in Vancouver nowadays also offer grooming and training services in addition to boarding, with the idea being that the dog kennel can be the owner’s one-stop-shop for all three services.

What is a Dog Sitter?

A dog sitter is a contracted service provider who takes care of a dog or other pet at its own home. Some people would rather have their dog cared for in their own homes so the animal stays on their regular routines and so that the dog need not adapt to a new environment. In Vancouver, this is an alternative for dogs that are not well socialized or vaccinated.
