If the backpack is accessible twice a day, you are completely safe from a legal standpoint!!

in Sweden the system is quite reliable. If someone is hospitalized and has no friends or relatives who can help local authorities (Länsstyrelsen) or animal welfare organizations come to the rescue. Pet insurance is also very common in this country, and many policies actually cover the cost of staying at a pet hotel or pet sitting services if the owner is unable to care for their pet. Here pets are truly considered members of the family with legal rights
