Come, sit, stay
A crowdsourced list of dog boardings, sitters and walkers
Being a dog parent means taking responsibility for your dog at all times, even when you have that vacation or work trip waiting. It’s not possible to take your dog along at all times. If you don’t have friends or family with whom you can leave your dog, having reliable dog boarding options becomes necessary.
Unfortunately, in India, many public places and means of transport do not allow dogs. So your dog either needs to be home alone or left in the care of friends and family (which might not be possible frequently). You might not want to leave your dog alone at home due to age or medical issues, separation anxiety, or simply because you need to be gone for a long time. In this case, pet sitters, walkers and doggy daycares (many of which are also overnight boardings) will come to your aid!

The above list is non-exhaustive. I will keep updating it as I receive more inputs from people. I have tried to add as much information here as possible. For your dog’s particular needs and the rates (even for extra services), please contact the people mentioned in the listing directly. While this list has been made in good faith, based on the recommendations of people who have trusted their own dogs with the boardings/sitters/ walkers mentioned in it, it does not guarantee a good experience for everyone. Please use your discretion.
