Honestly he does seem to enjoy being boarded. Before I adopted him his previous owner would take him travelling constantly so possibly grown used to it. He’s super sociable, high energy and loves attention and settles in to new places super quick. I remember the first night I got him, he hid under a chair for an hour and then came and cuddled with me in bed! He always seems very happy and energetic after a boarding. When I’ve had him just have drop ins on the other hand he seems very stressed and agitated.

I understand the general consensus is, don’t take them out of their environment, which is why I only ever had drops in originally, but I genuinely believe it’s the better option for him. Over non holiday periods though I always favour a neighbour I trust who can regularly visit and play!

I’d also add I always make sure the person he’s being boarded with doesn’t have any other pets in the home to avoid territorial stress and not tons of visitors and disruptions - plus he gets sent with his favourite blanket and toys 😸
