Just like humans, pets can absolutely get bored—and when they do, it often shows up in frustrating ways: chewing, barking, scratching furniture, or zoomies at midnight.

Why Boredom Happens:
Pets are intelligent, social animals. When they’re under-stimulated, they’ll create their own entertainment—often at your expense.

What to Look For:

Chewing shoes, doors, or furniture

Barking or whining for no reason

Restlessness or pacing

Clingy behavior or “acting out”

Simple Solutions:

Mental Enrichment: Use puzzle feeders, scent tracking games, or rotate toys to keep them engaged.

Add Walks or Visits: Many pets don’t get enough daily activity, especially in winter. We offer walks and playtime to break up long days alone.

Training Refreshers: Teaching new commands or tricks stimulates their brain and strengthens your bond.

Companionship: For pets who are social, a short visit—even from a sitter—can curb boredom and reduce anxiety.

The bottom line: a stimulated pet is a happy pet. If your schedule’s tight, we’re here to help keep boredom at bay.
