Stress and Anxiety – Cats are territorial animals and often become extremely stressed in unfamiliar environments with new smells, sounds, and other animals. 

Risk of Illness and Infections – Even in well-maintained facilities, exposure to other cats increases the risk of catching illnesses like upper respiratory infections or parasites. 

Disrupted Routine and Diet – Sudden changes in feeding schedules, food types, and daily interactions can lead to digestive issues and decreased appetite. 

Inconvenient for Short Term Needs – If you are only going away for 1 – 2 days, it is inconvenient to transport your cat to a boarding facility for such a brief time. 

Trust and Security Concerns – Allowing a stranger into your home while you’re away poses potential security risks, even with a professional pet sitter. 

Unreliable or Inconsistent Care – Some pet sitters may not follow feeding schedules properly or forget visits. 

High Costs for Frequent Visits – If your cat requires multiple feedings due to a diet regiment, the cost of hiring a sitter can quickly become expensive. 

Asking Friends or Family to Pet Sit: Pet owners often feel guilty or uncomfortable asking friends or family to care for their pets. This discomfort arises from concerns about imposing on others' time and the potential strain on relationships. Some pet owners may hesitate to ask, fearing it could lead to feelings of indebtedness or awkwardness. 

Being Asked to Pet Sit: Individuals who are asked to pet sit may feel burdened or obligated, especially if they have other commitments. The responsibility of caring for someone else's pet can be demanding, and some may feel uncomfortable declining the request, leading to potential resentment or stress. 

Trust: Depending on your relationship, there’s always those family members and friends that like to dig around while they are in your house alone.  Who can you trust with this task without risking your privacy? 

Reliability and Consistency: When you are asking for a favor, it is likely that you will just ask the person to come when it is convenient for them.  That may be a different time each day, depending on their work/family schedule.  Therefore, feeding time may vary widely for your pet each day, causing them stress and anxiety.
