Pet Sitting VS Dog Boarding ​ Dog Boarding is a great option for pet care when you go on vacation or travel for work. However some dogs may feel stressed by boarding. Pet Sitting in your home is a viable alternative. ​ We surveyed some local dog boarding facilities and the average cost for boarding for JUST ONE dog in Grand Cayman is $40.00 per night. This is the average for the most basic boarding packages, please be certain to ask exactly what is included. ​ The average cost of boarding for TWO dogs from the same family that can share the same space is $60.00 per night. ​ Happy Paws Cayman offers Overnight Pet Sitting when your pet sitter sleeps in your home with your dogs and cares for ALL pets in your home. Rates for overnight pet sitting is $70.00 for 12 hours overnight and 1 hour during the day which can be split into two 30 minute visits. Please make a online reservation for an estimate. ​ Professional Pet Sitting is a great alternative for dogs who do not enjoy boarding and also cost savings for anyone with a multiple pet household. We hope to be meeting you and your pets soon!

Is Day Care the Best Choice for Your Dog? Dog day care can be a wonderful option for many dogs, especially while you are at work. However, some dogs may feel overwhelmed or stressed in a day care environment, and some pet owners may not have the time for daily drop-off and pick-up. In these situations, dog walking or home visits with a Professional Pet Sitter are a convenient and low-stress alternative. We love and support our local doggie day care and boarding facilities, and we are always happy to recommend one if Happy Paws Cayman cannot meet your specific needs. Every pet family is different - some may find day care to be a great fit, while others may prefer in-home care, or even a combination of both for a balanced routine. Our survey of local Grand Cayman dog day care providers shows: • Average cost for one dog: $36 per day • Monday–Friday weekly rate: approximately $30 per day • Average cost for two dogs: varies by facility (one example: $45 per day for two dogs) Happy Paws Cayman offers Afternoon Dog Walking from your home every day, with rates ranging between $10–$30 per day depending on your service needs. We can leash-walk up to three dogs at a time if they walk well together, or let any number of dogs out into your fenced yard for potty breaks and playtime. Simply submit an online reservation for a personalized estimate. Afternoon dog walking with a Professional Pet Sitter is an excellent alternative for dogs who: • Do not enjoy group environments • Prefer one-on-one attention • Become carsick on the way to day care • Have health or parasite concerns • Are senior dogs or have low energy • Need a calm, consistent routine We look forward to meeting you and your pets soon.

At Happy Paws Cayman we do everything we can to make sure that you are 100% comfortable leaving your pets in our care and become a life long client. Your satisfaction is our Top Priority! ​ When your ready to choose a pet sitter or dog walker obviously we would love you to choose Happy Paws Cayman however that may not be an option for you for some reason or another. So we’ve put together a great list of what to look for when hiring a professional pet sitter, dog walker or dog trainer and the difference Happy Paws Cayman brings to the table. ​ Hiring your friend, neighbor or relative. Average Cost : Free – $10 per visit / Free – $40 per overnight ​ Have your friends or family watch your pets can be great but as we’ve seen time and time again it can easily go terribly wrong. When hiring a friend or family member please make sure they are someone you can trust and count on 100%. We do NOT recommend hiring teenagers or anyone you have not known for a long time. Heres a few reasons why.. ​ 1. They may back out if they have their own family emergency or if something ‘better’ comes up. 2. They may have unknown guests with them at your home or send their friend or someone unknown to you to care for you pets if they are unable to make it. 3. They typically do not have the experience or attention to detail that a professional pet sitter would have. 4. They are not background checked, reference checked, CPR certified or liability insured. 5. Most importantly, you are responsible as the homeowner should go wrong or if anyone is hurt on your property. ​ Hiring a Non Professional “Pet Sitter” Average Cost : $5 – $15 per visit / $30 – $50 per overnight ​ We are seeing more and more non professional “pet sitters” or hobby pet sitters popping up everyday. Most disguise themselves as professional pet sitters however these groups or individuals are not legitimate businesses. They’re not registered with the government, they do not have insurance, they are not background checked and they typically do not have any set rates, systems or policies in place. We do not recommend hiring these individuals, keep in mind just because someone has a business card does not mean they are actually a business. Always ask questions, ask to see references, proof of insurance and make sure you are hiring a professional pet sitter.
