When going on vacation or away for a few days, having arrangements made for your dog is the priority. Some individuals utilize dog hotels, but is it the best choice for your pet? Or could pet sitting with mybestie.gr be a less stressful and more relaxing alternative?

What are dog hotels?

Dog hotels are specially designed facilities where pets are housed when their owners are not around. They feed them, walk them, attend to them, and, in some cases, train and socialize them with other canines.

Benefits of dog hotels

• Expert care: Trained staff, who are experienced in handling different breeds and temperaments, operate most dog hotels.
• Secure and organized environment: These are secure, well-designed environments for dogs to reside and play.
• Socialization opportunities: Opportunities to socialize with other dogs are present at some dog hotels and are beneficial for friendly pets.

Drawbacks of dog hotels

• Stress and anxiety: Change in the environment and exposure to new individuals and animals can be extremely stressful, especially for sensitive pets.
• Restricted individualized attention: In spite of having trained staff, attention to individual animals is limited by the number of dogs being serviced at a given time.
• Increased risk of illness: Shared facilities increase the risk of disease and parasite exposure.
• High expense: Dog hotels are expensive, especially if special services like specialized care or training are needed.

Why pet sitting is a better alternative

Pet sitting keeps your dog in a familiar environment while being cared for by a professional in your home.

• No stress from an alternate environment: Your dog remains at home, on routine uninterrupted.
• Individualized care: A pet sitter provides personalized attention, attending to all your pet's unique requirements.
• Less disease exposure: Not being in touch with other pets, your dog has fewer opportunities to contract infections or parasites.
• Flexibility and convenience: Pet sitting services may be tailored according to your dog's habits and lifestyle, with maximum care.
• Security benefits: Having a pet sitter also gives you an extra feeling of home security, in that there is someone there when you're not.
