Should I Choose a Kennel or an Individual Sitter for my Fur Kid?

This is a question that is asked frequently, and it’s a valid one. Both care models have their pros and cons, so it’s a matter of what works best for your family! Here is a small list that I’ve created to help you decide.

Individual Sitter:

  • Your fur-kid is their only priority

  • Less open availability, however this is due to the one on one attention that is provided.

  • Zero or minute chance of interacting with other animals who may cause unintended harm.

  • Calm and Quiet atmosphere.

  • Personal, close bonds are formed with your sitter as you work with them regularly!

Kennel:

  • There are many fur-kids being cared for, and less one on one interaction.

  • Greater availability

  • Potential to interact with other fur-kids, which can be a pro or con as accidents can happen during playtime.

  • Loud stressful environment

  • You form less of a one on one relationship with your caretakers as they rotate.

I hope you find this helpful when deciding which provider type is best for your family’s needs!

Thank you!
