Pet Sitting & Boarding in Mandaue City

Doggy daycare is a per-day rate, kennel/boarding is per night, and in-home overnight sitting costs the most because the sitter stays with or visits your pet. Prices rise for larger dogs, multiple pets, holidays and special-needs animals.

A professional sitter or boarder has your vet's details, written authority to seek treatment up to an agreed limit, insurance, and an emergency contact plan. Confirm all of this in writing before you travel — verbal assurances aren't enough.

Reputable boarders require up-to-date core vaccinations and usually kennel cough (bordetella) for dogs, with proof before arrival. If a facility doesn't ask for vaccination records, that's a red flag about the health of the other animals there.

Ask about insurance, licensing where it applies, how many animals they take, their emergency-vet plan, whether dogs are ever left unsupervised, vaccination requirements, and ask for references or reviews. A meet-and-greet before booking is standard.

In Mandaue City, kennel boarding sits around the national per-night rate, home boarding with a sitter is a little higher, and holiday periods add a premium. Multiple pets and medication needs push the price up.

Kennel boarding typically runs ₱350-₱1,000 a night, in-home overnight sitting ₱500-₱1,500, and daycare ₱300-₱900 a day.
