Thank you to everybody who took the time to complete our latest survey! We were keen to know why pet owners would choose a boarding/home visit service and what other alternatives they may consider.
Key Findings:
• Types of pets: From furry friends like dogs and cats to more exotic companions like tortoises and guinea pigs, our survey respondents owned a wide range of pets.
• Travel frequency: Most pet owners needed boarding/home visit services a few times a year, but some required it more frequently due to extended trips or work commitments.
• Service preferences: While many respondents relied on friends or family for pet care, a significant number sought professional boarding/home visit services. Boarding facilities were slightly more popular than home visits, although some pet owners expressed a strong preference for keeping their pets in their familiar environment.
What matters most to pet owners?
When choosing a professional service provider to look after your pets, trustworthiness and qualifications were the top priorities for most respondents. Other important factors included:

• Competitive prices: Cost effective boarding/home visit services were a priority for many.
• Animal-loving caregivers: Respondents wanted to ensure their pets were cared for by someone who truly loves animals.
Additional insights:
