Why We Don't Recommend Kennel Facilities for Your Pets

As pet lovers and caregivers, we understand how important it is to ensure the safety, comfort, and happiness of your furry friends when you can't be with them. That's why we want to share some crucial insights about why we don't recommend dropping your cat or dog off at kennel facilities.



Real-Life Horror Stories

We've all heard stories about pets being mistreated or neglected in kennels, and sadly, some of these stories have come from our own clients. One such client recently shared a harrowing experience with us. They had dropped their dog off at a local kennel facility, expecting their beloved pet to receive attentive care. Instead, the poor dog was left in a cage for six hours, unsupervised. When they returned, they discovered their dog had consumed the blanket left in the cage with him out of anxiety and stress. This kind of neglect is not only heartbreaking but also dangerous for the pet’s health.


In another case, a dog was left unattended in a pen with multiple other dogs. What was supposed to be a playful environment turned into a nightmare. Roughhousing among the dogs escalated, resulting in one dog suffering a herniated disc that required surgery. This incident highlights the risks of unsupervised group settings in kennels, where injuries can occur, sometimes with severe consequences.


The Risks of Kennel Facilities

These stories aren't isolated incidents. Many kennel facilities, due to high pet-to-staff ratios, cannot provide the individual attention and care that pets need. Here are some common issues:


  • Lack of Supervision: With limited staff, many kennels can't offer the level of supervision required to ensure the safety and well-being of every pet.

  • Stress and Anxiety: The unfamiliar environment, loud noises, and presence of other stressed animals can cause significant anxiety for your pet.

  • Health Risks: Close quarters can lead to the spread of diseases, and as seen in the stories above, physical injuries can occur due to lack of supervision.


Why Choose Personalized Pet Sitting?

At Pawfect Pets Care, we believe in providing personalized care that caters to the unique needs of each pet. Here’s why our approach is different:


  • Individual Attention: Your pet receives one-on-one care, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable.

  • Familiar Environment: We provide pet sitting services in the comfort of your home or ours through familiar routines, reducing stress and anxiety.

  • Continuous Supervision: Our sitters are dedicated to monitoring your pet’s well-being at all times, preventing accidents, and addressing any issues immediately.


We started this business because we understand the deep bond you share with your pet. Trusting someone to care for them in your absence is a big decision, and we are honored by the trust so many people place in us.
