FAQ

Dog boarding in Kilmarnock: common questions

What does dog boarding cost in Kilmarnock instead of kennels?
Boarding sitters in Kilmarnock 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.
Is home dog boarding in Kilmarnock an alternative to kennels?

When should I book dog boarding in Kilmarnock?
Book early for the school holidays in Kilmarnock, 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.
When do I get cashback on a booking?
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 Kilmarnock vetted?
