Pet boarding — at a specialist's home or in a pet hotel
Pet boarding helps when you go on vacation, go into the hospital or are renovating, and there is no one to leave your dog, cat or rabbit with. Compare living conditions from photos and client reviews, or describe your pet and the length of stay in an order — specialists will send responses.
Pet boarding specialists
How much dog or cat boarding costs
What affects the price
Species and size
A cat, a small dog and a shepherd that needs an outdoor run and long walks require different care, so the price per day differs too.
Type of accommodation
A separate room or run, a space shared with other guests, or a specialist's apartment where your pet is the only guest are priced differently.
Length of stay and season
The price per day is sometimes lower for a long stay and can be higher in the vacation season and over the holidays, when few places are free.
Food and special care
The specialist's food instead of yours, medication on a schedule, and care for an elderly pet or one recovering from surgery are often charged separately.
Walks and transport
Extra walks, a bath before going home, or taking the pet to boarding and back can raise the price.
Prices come from specialists' profiles on Nexperity and update automatically. You agree the final price with the specialist directly.

How to choose pet boarding or a pet hotel
- 1
Living conditions
Ask for photos or a video of where your pet will stay: where it will sleep and walk, whether the yard is fenced. If you can, come and see it in advance.
- 2
Vaccinations and parasite treatment
Ask which vaccinations and flea, tick and worm treatments are required of every guest: your pet will live next to other people's animals.
- 3
Kept apart from other animals
Find out how many animals are boarded at once, whether cats are kept apart from dogs, and how a new dog is introduced to the others.
- 4
A trial day
Before a long stay, ask about a trial day or a few hours: it shows how your pet gets used to a new place and new people.
- 5
Supervision and a vet clinic
Ask whether your pet is left alone during the day or at night, who looks after it when the specialist goes out, and which vet clinic they will go to if it falls ill.
What to put in the order
Species, breed, age and approximate weight of the pet
Which vaccinations and parasite treatments it has had, whether it has a vet passport
How the pet gets along with other dogs and cats, whether it is spayed or neutered
Food, medication and routine: how often to feed it, whether walks are needed
How many days of boarding are needed and whether the stay may be extended
Whether the pet needs to be picked up and brought back
Questions about Nexperity
How Nexperity works — separately for clients and for specialists
For clients
Nothing. Searching for specialists, sending requests, posting orders and receiving responses are free.
No. You agree the price and the payment method with the specialist and pay them directly. Nexperity does not take payments and is not a party to your deal.
A request goes to one specialist — from their profile. An order is posted for everyone: specialists send you responses, and you choose which one to accept.
How the specialist will do the task, a price — fixed, a range, hourly or “on request” — and, optionally, an estimated timeline.
30 days from publication: all that time it is visible in the feed and specialists can send responses. The exact end date and time are shown on the order in your account. From that moment the order is closed and a response can no longer be accepted. You can cancel it earlier, and if no specialist turned up, post a new one.
Yes: you can hide your name and photo in an order. The anonymity lasts until acceptance — the specialist whose response you accept sees your name and photo. The task description is public: anyone visiting the site can read it.
Only after acceptance — when you accept their response or they accept your request. And only the contacts you chose to show.
After acceptance you see the contacts the specialist chose to show, and they see the ones you chose. You can also message on Nexperity when the chat is on: on an order you decide that, on a direct request the specialist does.
Once the work is done, mark the order or the collaboration completed in your account — then you can say whether you recommend the specialist. A review can only be left for a collaboration that happened through Nexperity: one per specialist, which you can change or delete at any time.
For specialists
Nothing for now: this is the free period, and no subscription is needed yet. Nexperity takes no commission on deals — you settle with the client directly.
Sign up, fill in your specialist profile and add your services — each with a category, a description and a price. Once the profile is complete, it appears in search and on the category pages.
Two ways: clients send you requests from your profile, which you can accept or decline; and you see public orders in your categories in your account and can respond to them.
You describe how you will do the task and give a price and, optionally, a timeline. The client compares responses and accepts one.
Contacts set to “Public” are visible to everyone on your profile. A client sees contacts set to “After connection” once you accept their request or they accept your response. “Hidden” ones are not revealed in new connections: a contact already revealed to a client stays visible to them.
Each service has a fixed price, a range, an hourly rate or “on request”. Prices show on your profile and in search results, and you agree the final price with the client.
Through search and the category pages of your services. The order depends on your clients' reviews — how many of them recommend you — and in search also on how well your services match the query.
A photo, a description, your region and way of working — online or in person — your contacts and a portfolio: photos of your work, each with a short caption if you like.
A client leaves a review after completed work, and only for a collaboration through Nexperity: they say whether they recommend you and may add a few words. Each client counts once, however many times you work together.
