Dog boarding, daycare, walks and grooming

On Petme, boarding means your dog sleeps in a verified sitter's home with a handful of dogs at most. In-home sitting means the sitter stays at your place or drops in once or several times a day, which suits cats, older dogs and dogs on medication. Daycare, dog walking and grooming are booked the same way.

Every sitter sets their own rate and shows it before you book, and owners pay 0% commission. As a reference, three Puerto Rican dog hotels that publish their rates charge from $30 a night, with a regular room at $34 to $55, and daycare runs $20 to $35 a day (October 2026).

Traveling to or from Puerto Rico with a dog

Puerto Rico Department of Agriculture rules (updated November 2024) say dogs and cats arriving from the US mainland need no import permit, but they need a health certificate valid for 30 days, a rabies vaccine given within six months before travel and treatment for external parasites within 72 hours of arrival.

If your dog is staying home instead, book a sitter early around the holidays and give them your vet's details in writing. The Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30, so agree on a plan for power or water cuts too.

How do I find a pet sitter in San Juan, Puerto Rico?
Search by town and then by sector, such as Santurce, Condado or Hato Rey, because sitters usually work two or three nearby neighborhoods. Open each profile, compare services, rates and reviews, and message the sitter in the app before you book.
Can I take my dog to Puerto Rico from the US mainland?
Yes. Under the Puerto Rico Department of Agriculture import rules (updated November 2024), dogs and cats coming from the mainland need no PRDA import permit, but they need a health certificate valid for 30 days, a rabies vaccine within six months of travel and treatment for external parasites within 72 hours of arrival.
How much does dog grooming cost in Puerto Rico?
Four Puerto Rican salons that publish their menu on Booksy charge $45 to $75 for a full groom of a medium dog (October 2026). On Petme each groomer sets a price per dog size and says whether they groom at their place, at yours, or both.
What happens if my dog gets sick while I am away?
Your sitter messages you in the app and takes your dog to the vet you agreed on at handover. The Petme Protection Plan can contribute up to $22,000 toward eligible vet costs from a service booked in the app, under its terms. Leave your vet's number and any medication in writing.
