Pet Boarding in Bangalore
Zauffy connects pet parents in Bangalore with trusted, verified hosts who care for your pet in their own home, not a kennel. Real-time photo updates, in-app messaging, and platform accountability give you peace of mind while you're away. Whether you're travelling for work, going on vacation, or dealing with an emergency, your pet gets individual attention in a safe home environment.
Why Zauffy?
Verified home hosts
Every host goes through a thorough verification process. Your pet stays in a real home with a real person, never a cage or kennel. Hosts share details about their home setup, experience with different breeds, and the number of pets they can care for at once.
Real-time photo updates
Hosts send photo updates through the app so you can see your pet is safe and happy at the host's home. No WhatsApp guesswork. Every photo is timestamped and sent through the platform, giving you a complete visual log of your pet's stay.
From ₹400/night
Affordable home boarding with transparent pricing. No hidden fees. Pay securely through the app. Each host sets their own rate based on experience and services offered, so you can find an option that fits your budget.
Platform accountability
Unlike informal arrangements through WhatsApp groups, Zauffy provides structured booking management, in-app messaging, and support. If anything goes wrong during a stay, you have a clear record and a team to help resolve it.
How Pet Boarding Works in Bangalore
Tell us about your pet and dates
Enter your travel dates, your pet's breed, size, and any special requirements. The app shows you available hosts in your preferred Bangalore neighbourhood. You can also post a broadcast to let multiple hosts respond with availability.
Browse hosts and book
Review host profiles with photos of their home, experience details, reviews from other pet parents, and pricing. Once you find the right fit, book directly through the app. We recommend scheduling a meet-and-greet before the stay so your pet can get comfortable.
Drop off your pet
On the start date, drop your pet off at the host's home. The host confirms check-in through the app. You receive a notification once your pet is settled in. Share any last-minute instructions, favourite toys, or comfort items with the host.
Receive updates and pick up
During the stay, your host sends photo updates through the app. You can message them anytime for a check-in. When your trip is over, pick up your pet and leave a review to help other parents find great hosts.

Top Neighbourhoods for Pet Boarding in Bangalore
Koramangala
Koramangala is one of Bangalore's most pet-friendly neighbourhoods with plenty of parks and walking paths. Many hosts here live in independent houses or spacious apartments with balconies. It is also centrally located, making drop-off and pick-up convenient from most parts of South and East Bangalore.
Indiranagar
Indiranagar has a high density of pet parents and several pet-friendly cafes and stores. Hosts in Indiranagar tend to be experienced with multiple breeds, and the area's tree-lined streets make for great walks. The neighbourhood is well-connected via the Purple Metro Line.
HSR Layout
HSR Layout is a popular residential area with wide roads, parks, and a strong pet community. The sector-based layout means most homes have access to nearby open spaces. Boarding hosts in HSR often have dedicated pet-friendly rooms, and the area is close to both Koramangala and Bellandur.
Whitefield
Whitefield has seen rapid growth in pet boarding demand thanks to its large IT professional population. Many pet parents here travel frequently for work, creating consistent demand for trusted boarding hosts. Hosts in Whitefield often have villas or larger homes, which is great for large dogs that need space to move around.
JP Nagar
JP Nagar offers a quieter, more residential setting compared to central Bangalore. It is well-suited for pets that prefer a calm environment. The area has multiple veterinary clinics nearby, which provides an extra layer of reassurance for parents boarding their pets here for the first time.
What Bangalore Pet Parents Say
“We were so anxious about leaving Simba for the first time, but the host sent us photos every few hours. He looked happier than he does at home. Will definitely book again.”
Priya R. | Golden Retriever | Koramangala
“The host treated Rocky like her own dog. She followed his exact feeding schedule and even took him on extra walks. So much better than the kennel we tried last year.”
Arjun M. | Indie Dog | HSR Layout
“Finding cat boarding in Bangalore is hard. Most places are dog-focused. Our Zauffy host had experience with cats and gave Mochi a quiet room with her favorite toys. She came home relaxed.”
Sneha K. | Persian Cat | Indiranagar

Home Boarding vs. Kennels
Traditional kennels in Bangalore keep multiple animals in a facility, often in separate enclosures. Home boarding through Zauffy is different: your pet stays in someone's actual home, gets individual attention, and follows a routine closer to what they're used to. For a detailed comparison, read our guide on pet boarding vs. kennels.
If your pet does better staying in their own environment rather than going to a new home, consider pet sitting in Bangalore instead. A verified sitter visits your home to care for your pet on their own turf.
