Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How much does a pet hotel cost?

A. The average price is 3,000-5,000 yen/night for small dogs, 4,000-7,000 yen for medium-sized dogs, and 5,000-10,000 yen for large dogs. Cats cost 2,500 to 4,000 yen/night. Additional charges apply for options such as walking and shampooing.

Q. What is the difference between a pet sitter and a pet sitter?

A. Your pet will stay overnight at a hotel, and a sitter will come to your home to care for your pet. A sitter is suitable for children who have a calm home or who are sensitive to stress. The fee is 3,000 to 5,000 yen per visit, and it is common to visit 2 to 3 times a day.

Q. Points to note before depositing

A. Combined vaccination certificate required (within 1 year). Things to bring include food, medicine, towels, toys, toilet sheets, etc. Advance reservations are required as there is often an initial interview.

Q. Can I keep it for a long time?

A. Usually it is OK for 1 to 2 weeks, but there is an additional charge for long-term stays on a monthly basis. However, considering the stress on your pet, it is sometimes advised to avoid it for a long period of time. Consider using a pet sitter when traveling overseas.

Q. If you become unwell while leaving your child with you

A. After contacting emergency contacts (owner/family veterinarian), the animal is generally examined at a nearby veterinary hospital. Treatment costs are borne by the owner. You can have peace of mind by having pet insurance or an option to cover accidents while in your care.
