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.
