One key difference between pet sitting, pet boarding, and pet day care is where your pet stays during the service. Pet sitting typically occurs in your home where a sitter comes to take care of your pet. This can include feeding, walking, and playing with them. The big advantage is that your pet stays in a familiar environment.

Pet boarding, on the other hand, involves taking your pet to a facility where they stay overnight in a kennel or room, possibly with other animals. This can be a good option for pets that need continuous supervision. Boarding facilities often offer additional services like grooming and training.

Pet day care is similar to child day care. You drop your pet off in the morning, and they get to play and interact with other pets under supervision, then you pick them up in the evening. It’s great for socializing and keeping them active while you’re at work or busy.
