Borys had lots of energy today 😊 The walk was calm; he sniffed around and explored the neighbourhood with interest. He did all his business, drank some water and rested after we came back. Everything is fine ❤️

Dog hotel or home boarding

Compare a large dog hotel with individual care in a sitter’s home. The sitter is matched to your address in Wrocław, your dates and the individual routine of your pet.

Small dog looking up

A home, not a kennel

Your pet sleeps in a room, roams the home and greets the sitter in the morning. No cages and no kennels.

Spaniel beside a bench

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.

Dog beside a sofa

Its own rhythm and belongings

Feeding, walks and sleep to suit your dog's habits. It comes with its own food, bed and toys.

Pug on the pavement

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.

Meet-and-greet

See the home before choosing it over a hotel

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 Wrocław. Availability is confirmed only after a suitable verified sitter accepts the request.

You see the home with your own eyes

Where the dog will sleep, where the bowls are, which way it heads out for a walk. Not a description in messages, but a home you've walked into.

The dog doesn't arrive to a blank slate

The second time it walks into a familiar home and a familiar person — that noticeably lowers the stress of those first hours.

Not a fit — you pick another

The meet-and-greet commits you to nothing and costs nothing. You see the sitter's profile, experience and reviews beforehand, and the decision is always yours.

Arrange a meet-and-greet

Free and no strings attached.

Kiko stood in the kitchen with his head tilted while I measured his food. I put the bowl down and stepped back to let him eat quietly. His water has been changed too.

Read the full reportCollapse report

We went out on the lead. He spent a good while investigating one patch of grass. I waited until he lifted his nose before we carried on. I left him access to the cool kitchen floor as well, so he can choose where to lie down. If your collection time changes, let me know before our last walk and I’ll get his things ready by the door.

I caught his expression close up on the way back. Indoors I wiped his paws and spread his blanket where he likes to rest. We’ll head out again at the time we agreed.

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 Wrocław. All practical arrangements remain attached to the booking, so the owner and sitter work from the same information.

  1. 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.

    Dog sitting on grass
  2. 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

  3. Evening

    A walk, dinner, medications

    The second walk, dinner on your schedule, medications if prescribed. Paws get washed after being outside.

    Dog on a woodland path
  4. 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.

Pet card

The dog’s instructions stay with the booking

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 Wrocław. Availability is confirmed only after a suitable verified sitter accepts the request.

The pet card in the client panel

Breed, weight, age, temperament, habits, fears, what's allowed and what isn't. The sitter receives it before boarding begins.

Medications and diet — on schedule

Name, dose, time, its own food and how much. It's part of the booking, not a verbal arrangement.

Once more in person at the meet-and-greet

You show the dosing and make sure you've been understood — before you leave, not over the phone from another country.

Getting ready

Packing for a calm stay away from home

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 Wrocław. All practical arrangements remain attached to the booking, so the owner and sitter work from the same information.

Food

For the whole boarding period, in its usual form and portions.

Bowls

For food and for water.

A bed or bedding

Its own scent helps it fall asleep the first night.

Leash, harness, muzzle

A muzzle — if your dog needs one.

A favorite toy

And familiar treats.

Medications with a schedule

What, how much and at what time.

The vet passport

And your vet's contact details.

Your contact details

And the phone number of someone reachable when you can't be reached.

You hand all of this over in person at the meet-and-greet or on the day boarding starts — and that's where you go over the details.

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.

How to book

Common cases

Choose conditions that suit this dog

Cat

A cat needs no walks

no-walks plan · 69 zł/day

A cat doesn't need walks: a place to stay, feeding, care and reports. The sitter adapts to the cat's temperament — no forcing, giving it space and time to settle in.

Puppy

A puppy not going out yet

no-walks plan · 69 zł/day

A puppy also fits the no-walks plan if it doesn't go outside yet. Feeding on your schedule. You note vaccinations and routine in your request.

Two or more

Several pets together

+50 zł dog · +35 zł cat / day

Pets are taken in together. Walks for additional pets are bought separately. There's no need to split up animals that live together.

Dog hotel or home boarding

Compare a large dog hotel with individual care in a sitter’s home. The sitter is matched to your address in Wrocław, your dates and the individual routine of your pet.

How much care costs

How to choose a safe place

Verified sitters, written instructions, regular reports, coordinator support and a replacement plan make the service easier to check and manage.
