Our corgi broke his spine 18 months ago [1] (enormous incision [2]), and was fully paralyzed from the midsection down. We had an operation performed and he's now kind of ok, but permanently restricted from going up or down stairs or any kind of high impact activities. He, of course, is not willingly restricted. Boarding for special needs dogs starts at $120/night and often costs $150+/night, and is very hard to find.
Instead of boarding Linus, we bring him. Many hotels will let you bring a dog for an extra $15 - $20 per night. Unfortunately, you can't leave a dog in your room if you aren't there, so you have to bring dog everywhere. This essentially means no traveling in the south or for much of the summer because it will be too hot to leave dog in the car.

- djb_hackernews 15y agoSo maybe there is an opportunity for folks like you. You bring your dog with you, and We pick up your dog at your hotel in the morning, care for it while you are sight seeing, and drop it back off in the evening. Contract out with hotels that allow pets, mostly dealing with small breed dogs, no overnight hassle. I bet you could use the service from the OP for such a thing, maybe.
