Reading a kennel quote
Kennels often price per dog per day, and some charge more for large dogs or extra walks. Ask for a written total that covers your drop-off and collection days, then ask a sitter for the same dates. If your dog is nervous, ask whether the sitter has other dogs at home and where yours will sleep. A sitter near Causewayhead or Bridge of Allan suits owners on the north side of the city.
Licensing
In Scotland, dog boarding is licensed by the council under the
Animal Boarding Establishments Act 1963, including boarding in a private home. In Stirling that is Stirling Council. Ask a boarder to show you their licence before you book.
Book before the Scottish summer
