FAQ

Dog boarding in Dalkeith: common questions

How much are kennels in Dalkeith compared with home boarding?

Boarding sitters in Dalkeith usually charge around £24 to £38 a night. Each sitter sets their own rate and you see it before you book, with a 0% booking fee on top. Kennel prices are set by each kennel, so compare the nightly rate, the walks and what is included.

What does Petme add to the price?

Petme charges owners a 0% booking fee. You pay the price the boarding sitter sets with nothing added at checkout, and you earn cashback on every completed booking toward a later one.

Dog boarding or kennels in Dalkeith: what is the difference?

Home dog boarding means your dog stays in a Dalkeith sitter's own home rather than a kennel run. Ask about walks, sleeping arrangements and other pets when you message the sitter, and agree the routine before the stay.

Can I find an boarding sitter near Eskbank, Dalkeith?

Yes. Search from Eskbank to see the boarding sitters closest to that part of Dalkeith, including nearby areas such as Woodburn and Newbattle. Message them to check they can reach your street before you book.

When is dog boarding busiest in Dalkeith?

Book early for the school holidays in Dalkeith, when many owners travel at once. In Scotland the summer break starts in late June. Sitters set their own calendars, so check dates with the boarding sitter when you message them.

How does Petme cashback work?

Cashback is credited to your Petme balance once a stay is complete, capped at £20 per booking, and you can use it on a later booking. That is how each completed stay makes the next one cheaper. It is reversed if the booking is cancelled or refunded.

How are boarding sitters in Dalkeith vetted?

Every boarding sitter on Petme passes ID and background checks before their profile goes live. You can read reviews from past bookings and message the sitter before you book, and the Protection Plan can contribute up to £20,000 toward eligible vet costs.
