Some of you might be confused as to the difference between Dog Sitting and Home Dog Boarding. I am going to explain the difference so that you can pick the best option for you.
Dog Sitting is where someone comes to your house to watch your dogs as well as do small things around your house like water your plants and collect your mail. With dog sitting you need to make sure that the person is reliable and can be trusted in your house not to steal or throw parties. This option however allows your dogs to stay in the comfort of their own home. This is a good option if you have an older dog or a dog that doesn't get a long with other dogs or if you have a puppy. Most dog sitters won't stay at your house full-time because they may have other jobs or animals of their own. They charge on a per visit basis which can be kinda costly depending on the amount of times they visit with your dogs.
Home Dog Boarding is a place to take your dog outside of your house, another person's house where there might be other dogs for them to play with. With home dog boarding again you need to make sure that they are reliable and trustworthy. You want to make sure that any place that you decide to board your dog is going to take care of them properly and that your dog is going to be safe and well looked after. This is good if your dogs get along with other dogs and is not aggressive. With home dog boarding most places will pamper your dogs and make them feel like they are on vacation as well. Home dog boarding charges on a day basis and will typically discount for weekly stays.
If you want a constant interaction for your dog but don't want a stranger in your house then home dog boarding is your best option.
