FAQ

Dog boarding in Scottish Borders: common questions

How much are kennels in Scottish Borders compared with home boarding?
Boarding sitters in Scottish Borders 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.
When should I book dog boarding in Scottish Borders?
Book early for the school holidays in Scottish Borders, 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.
Is it safe to book a Scottish Borders boarding sitter?
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.
Is there a booking fee on Petme?
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.
Is home dog boarding in Scottish Borders an alternative to kennels?
Yes. With home dog boarding your dog stays in a Scottish Borders 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.
Which parts of Scottish Borders do boarding sitters cover?
Search from your own part of Scottish Borders to see the boarding sitters near you, then message them to check they can reach your street. Owners in Scottish Borders and nearby areas such as Galashiels, Hawick and Peebles search the same way.
Who licenses dog boarding in Scottish Borders?
Scottish Borders Council does. In Scotland, boarding other people's dogs as a business needs a council licence under the Animal Boarding Establishments Act 1963, including boarding in a private home. In Scottish Borders that is Scottish Borders Council. Ask the boarder to show you their licence before you book.
