FAQ

Frequently asked questions about doggy daycare in Chinatown

Are Chinatown sitters Chinese-speaking?

Where do Chinatown dogs walk?

Portsmouth Square, the side streets off Grant Avenue, and the Stockton tunnel area. Avoid Grant Avenue during tourist peak (10am-4pm weekends). Booking through Petme costs owners nothing extra: the platform fee is 0% and every booking earns cashback.

Are walk-up stairs an issue?

Some buildings have steep stairs. Brief the sitter at the meet-and-greet; senior dogs are routed to ground-floor inventory. Every sitter on Petme is ID-verified and background-checked before taking bookings.

Is Chinatown daycare yard-equipped or apartment-only?

Mix of both. Residential, lower-density areas more often have yards. Condo-area hosts cover daycare without a yard by running 3 to 4 walks during the day.

Can I drop off recurring 3 days a week?

Yes, the most common daycare pattern across Chinatown for hybrid-RTO owners. Recurring 3+ days a week typically gets a small per-day discount; confirm at the meet-and-greet.
