As for the key, i would prefer service:pet_boarding=cat;dog;rabbit  because
maybe a hotel can have this service for it's guests, or maybe a restaurant
can board your pets while you eat.

As for repeating values, I remember hearing about a future version of osm
database where multiple identical keys would be possible. So you could have:

service:pet_boarding=cat
service:pet_boarding=dog
service:pet_boarding=rabbit

Does anyone know if this is still in our future?
