No cagesthe sitter's home instead of a kennel
One petcare with no other animals around
Alvis Łódź
Compare the care arrangements as well as the location
Ask how many animals will be at home, how walks work and where your dog can rest. Check drop-off and collection times and rules for changing dates. Alvis boarding takes place in a sitter’s home rather than a kennel facility.
One pet
Care with no contact with other animals: your dog doesn't end up in a strange pack. Only your own pets live together.
Its own rhythm and belongings
Feeding, walks and sleep to suit your dog's habits. It comes with its own food, bed and toys.
A person nearby
Not behind a kennel door, but in the same home — you see the home at a free meet-and-greet, before you decide anything.
How the meet-and-greet works
You see the home before booking, not after. The meet-and-greet costs nothing.

How the day goes
A home routine instead of a shared hotel schedule
Compare a large dog hotel with individual care in a sitter’s home. The exact address, date and written routine determine how the service is organised in Łódź. All practical arrangements remain attached to the booking, so the owner and sitter work from the same information.
- Morning
Waking at its usual time
Waking at the dog's usual time, its own food in its own bowl, fresh water. The first walk — according to the schedule in the plan.
- Day
At home together with the sitter
Time at home with the sitter, not in a closed-off room: play, calm rest, water always available. On the three-walk plan they head out once more during the day.
The first photo report
- Evening
A walk, dinner, medications
The second walk, dinner on your schedule, medications if prescribed. Paws get washed after being outside.
- Night
Sleeps on its bed — or in bed with the sitter
The dog sleeps on its own bed, not in a separate kennel. And if it's used to sleeping in the bed at home, the sitter doesn't mind. A person nearby all night long.
The evening report closes the day

An honest comparison

| Pet hotel | Friends or family | Alvis sitter | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Where the pet lives | A kennel, often with other animals | In an unfamiliar home, however it works out | In the sitter's home, an ordinary home |
| Other animals around | Usually yes | Hit or miss | No: care with no contact with others |
| Reports | On request or not at all | Whenever they remember | Twice a day, with photos |
| If the person can't | — | Your problem, and you've already flown off | We match a replacement |
| Health and the vet | By the hotel's rules | Your problem | Vet costs covered up to 1000 zł |
| What you pay with | Money | A favor and a sense of owing | Money, and that's the end of it |
| Who's accountable | The hotel | No one | A registered company |
| Price per day | On average 100–160 zł, more in summer | Free, technically | From 69 zł |
We're not saying a hotel is bad. We're saying home boarding solves a different problem: the dog doesn't have to adjust to an unfamiliar routine and an unfamiliar pack.

Leo came back from his walk, made a lap of the room and settled down. Outside, the grass beside the path held most of his attention; every few steps there was something worth stopping for. We took our time on lead, with plenty of little pauses.
