Living in Taipei and planning a trip? Finding the right dog boarding can be harder than booking your own flight, especially if you don’t read Chinese. This guide explains how dog hotels in Taipei usually work and what to look for.
Key takeaways
- City dog hotels are convenient but usually small and indoors; countryside hotels near Taipei offer outdoor space and often include pickup.

- Mini Boarding House in Sanzhi, New Taipei is cage-free with a 400-ping lawn and pickup across Taipei; boarding from NT$730 per night.
City vs. countryside dog hotels
- City hotels: close to home and easy to drop off, but space is limited and dogs often stay indoors.
- Countryside hotels: lawns and outdoor play areas, a better fit for active and larger dogs. Many offer pickup from Taipei.
What to check before booking
- Cages or cage-free? Ask where dogs spend the day and night.
- Grouping: Are small and large dogs separated? Are dogs grouped by temperament?
- Updates: Will you get photos or videos every day, and on which app? In Taiwan this is usually LINE.
- Rules: Vaccines, unneutered dogs and females in heat.
- Billing: Is a day counted by calendar date or 24 hours? What happens if you pick up late?
- Reviews: Check the Google rating and read recent reviews.
