Compare pet and home care options

Free house sitting, paid sitters, licensed home boarders and kennels solve the same problem in very different ways. These are the trade-offs, with real prices attached.

• House sitting vs boarding: which actually fits your trip — A free house sitter, a paid sitter in your home, a licensed home boarder and a kennel solve the same problem very differently. Here is how to pick.
• Kennels vs home boarding: what the licence actually tells you — Both are licensed and star-rated under the same regulations, but they are inspected against different standards and suit different animals.

Or start from the numbers

Comparisons are more useful with local prices attached. Look up what each option costs in your town and the trade-offs tend to answer themselves.
