According to the forecast of relevant departments, about 9 billion people travel, visit relatives, and leisure during the Spring Festival this year, and the cross-regional flow of people in the whole society may hit a record high. Many people choose to go home for the New Year or go out to play, but the pets at home can only be left behind, and many people choose to foster their pets.
The Spring Festival is approaching, the price of pet foster care related services has generally risen, and the foster care services of some pet stores are even "hard to find". What does pet boarding cost?
Ms. Wang has a cat that she has kept for four years, and this year, because she was going to spend the Chinese New Year with her family, she made an appointment for boarding services at the pet store in advance.
Ms. Wang said that foster care needs to provide proof of vaccination, and she needs to prepare enough cat food. During the boarding period, the pet store is not only responsible for the pet's eating, drinking, pulling and sprinkling, but also taking care of the pet's health.
The reporter learned that with the approach of the Spring Festival, pet store foster care services in many places are facing "a litter is hard to find". According to the staff, during the Spring Festival, there are only one or two ordinary rooms left in the foster park. Small dog fostering, an ordinary room of about 4 square meters is 192 yuan a day, a sun room of about 9 square meters is 252 yuan a day, and a VIP room with an independent courtyard is 357 yuan a day.

Lawyer: To foster pets, you need to confirm the qualifications of the store
Sign a foster care agreement with the store to confirm the responsibility
The cost of pet boarding during the holidays is a significant expense. In the view of experts in related fields, in addition to the superficial demand for pet boarding is stimulated, there are deeper reasons why consumers are willing to pay for it.
Experts say the pet economy is essentially a typical emotional economy. With the improvement of the quality of life, people's pursuit of companionship and desire for companionship have been upgraded, and pets can entrust people's strong spiritual emotions and make pet owners feel happy psychologically.
For the disputes that may arise from fostering pets, the lawyer reminds that when boarding pets, it is necessary to confirm the qualifications of the store, pay attention to the environment in the store, and sign a foster care agreement with the store to confirm the attribution of responsibility during the foster care period. "The corresponding pet name, health status, charges, service content, and risk responsibilities must be clarified. ”
In addition, the reporter also noticed that searching for "Spring Festival door-to-door pet feeding" on social platforms and second-hand trading platforms will show a large number of personal order information, and some comments and inquiries have reached more than 100. This kind of personal door-to-door feeding service is generally low-priced, however, for door-to-door feeding, some pet owners still have concerns, such as door-to-door feeding, if the pet scratches the person, whether it needs to bear the relevant responsibility, the qualification of the door-to-door personnel is difficult to guarantee, etc.
The lawyer said that under normal circumstances, as long as the pet hurts others, the pet owner has to be held responsible, but it also depends on whether the person who comes to the door to provide services is at fault, so that the pet has a stress reaction. If you have a camera at home, you can use it for forensics. But if an accident happens outside, collecting evidence becomes an important issue. Therefore, pet owners should disclose the characteristics of their pets and the problems to be paid attention to as much as possible to the door-to-door service personnel, and the door-to-door service personnel also need to have a certain amount of pet feeding experience.
