The short answer
Yes — Taiwan has a deep, high-quality pet-boarding scene, especially in Taipei and the larger cities. You'll find everything from simple overnight kennels to "pet hotels" with webcams, play sessions and grooming, plus vet-attached boarding for pets that need medical supervision. For a newly arrived expat, it's genuinely reassuring: whatever your travel or work throws at you, your dog or cat has good options.
What's on offer
| Option | Best for |
|---|---|
| Pet hotels | Longer stays — private rooms or suites, webcam access, daily play and walk sessions, add-on grooming. |
| Cat boarding | Cats specifically — quiet, cat-only facilities with condos and no dogs in earshot, which cats vastly prefer. |
| Vet-attached boarding | Seniors, medicated pets, or post-op recovery — staff can administer medication and monitor health. |
| Day care | Working owners and high-energy dogs — supervised group play while you're at the office. |
| In-home / pet sitters | Pets that do better at home — a sitter visits or stays; popular for anxious animals. |
Cost and how to judge quality
Nightly rates vary widely by city, size and luxury level — a simple kennel night is modest, while a suite with extras costs several times more. When you visit, look for clean, odour-free rooms, secure double-gating, clear vaccination requirements at intake (a sign they take health seriously — see which vaccines your pet should have), webcams, and staff who ask about your pet's routine rather than just its breed.
