Lebaran is a highly anticipated celebration — but for pet owners, it also comes with the question: "Who will look after my cat/dog?"

There is no single best solution for all situations. The choice depends on the type of animal, the pet's personality, your budget, and how long you'll be away.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which is better for cats: a pet hotel or a pet sitter coming to the house?

For cats, a pet sitter coming to the house is generally better because cats are highly territorial — they are more comfortable in their own environment. Pet hotels can cause high stress in cats that are not used to it, which can trigger appetite loss, urinary tract infections, or reduced immunity. Dogs are more adaptable and are usually fine at a quality pet hotel.

What should be prepared before boarding a pet?

Essential checklist: up-to-date medical records (vaccination history, medical conditions), enough regular medication for the entire boarding period + 3 days extra, vet emergency contact number, the pet's usual food (don't change suddenly — can cause diarrhea), a familiar carrier/cage, and toys/blankets with the owner's scent to reduce stress.

When is the best time to book boarding for Lebaran?

The best pet hotels and pet sitters in Jakarta fill up 2–3 months before Lebaran. Ideally book from February for an April Lebaran. Don't wait until a week before — your options will be very limited and you may be forced to accept a less-than-ideal place.
