Home-based pet sitting involves the pet sitter coming to the client’s home to provide care and attention while the owners are away. Both options provide a safe and secure environment for cats while their owners are away.

While the average hourly rate of cat boarding near you in Des Moines, IA is $12.75, the cost you’ll end up paying can vary depending on the location of your chosen cat boarding facility. The types of services the cat boarding facility offers, as well as your cat’s unique needs can also impact cost.

To find reliable cat boarding services near you in Des Moines, IA, it’s a good idea to read reviews when using Care.com to narrow down your search. That way, you can get an idea of what the customer experience was like for other cat parents.

Yes, there is a difference between cat boarding and traditional kenneling near you in Des Moines, IA?

Before selecting a cat boarding facility for your furry friend near you in Des Moines, IA, you should make sure to research the facility thoroughly. Ask about the staff’s experience with caring for cats, their methods of sanitization, their policies regarding visiting hours and any additional services they may offer.
