I've spent years raising a super high-energy, reactive husky mix, and volunteering in shelters, so I'm used to handling 'spicy' cats and anxious dogs with a lot of patience.

FAQ
Common questions about cat boarding in Boston
How much is overnight cat boarding?
In Boston, an overnight stay with a Petme sitter usually costs $50 to $95 a night. Each sitter sets their own rate and Petme adds no owner fee, so the nightly price you agree is what you pay. The Protection Plan, which can contribute up to $22,000 toward eligible vet costs, is included.
How much does cat boarding cost per day?
Sitters price boarding per night, and one night covers the full day your cat spends at their home. In Boston that works out to about $50 to $95 per day. Check what each sitter's rate includes before you book.
Is it better to board a cat or leave it at home?
It depends on the cat. Many cats cope best on their own turf, and for them a drop-in visit or a sitter staying at your place is the easier option. Boarding suits cats that get lonely, need medication on a schedule, or settle quickly in a new room. If your cat hides for days after a move, keep them home. If they like company, a quiet sitter's home in Boston can work well.
In-home cat boarding vs a cattery?
A cattery keeps many cats in pens or condos, with staff working shifts. In-home boarding means your cat stays in one sitter's home, usually with few or no other cats, and the same person feeds them and sends you updates. A cattery suits owners who want a fixed facility. A home stay suits cats that do better with quiet and one familiar person.
How much does it cost to board a cat for a week?
Seven nights at Boston rates of $50 to $95 a night comes to about $350 to $665. Each sitter sets their own price for longer stays, so confirm the total with them before you book.
