Dog daycare in Amsterdam: Costs & Rates

If you are looking for dog care in Amsterdam, there are several options available. But what are you actually paying for? And what factors go into choosing the best care for your four-legged friend? In this guide, you'll read the average prices, the differences from traditional boarding kennels and practical tips for making the right choice for your dog.

1. What does dog care in Amsterdam cost?

The cost of doggie daycare in Amsterdam varies by sitter, length of stay and your dog's needs. In traditional dog boarding houses, prices are often around €25 per night (depending on size and extras such as medication or extra walks). Loose walks at walkers usually start from €20 and are often in groups, so your dog gets less individual attention. If you are looking for personal care, then a private walk or shelter through Petbnb is often the better choice.

5. Dog boarding vs. Petbnb babysitting

Most important difference between a dog boarding facility and a Petbnb pet sitter is the personal, home-like environment at Petbnb. At a boarding facility, your dog often stays in a kennel, which can be stressful. With a sitter, your dog gets more attention and customized care - often a more pleasant experience for dog and owner.

6. The importance of an introduction

A meet and greet helps you, your dog and the sitter get used to each other. Discuss routines, feeding, medication and behavior. This builds trust and ensures a safe, relaxed shelter.

7. Last-minute care

Around vacations, boarding houses are often full. Through Petbnb you can find faster last-minute shelter. If you choose a flexible cancellation policy, you can sometimes cancel up to the day before without charge. Always check the cancellation policy on the babysitter profile.
