Lonely Barks, Rising Costs & Stressed-Out Owners: How You Can Help Keep Dogs Happy at Home
The Sounds of Stress—For Dogs and Owners Alike
If you've ever walked past a house or apartment where a dog barks endlessly, you’re hearing more than just noise—you're hearing stress. Dogs left alone for long hours can experience anxiety, confusion, and fear. And behind those barks is often an overwhelmed owner trying to juggle life, work, and the rising cost of pet care.
The sad truth? Many loving dog owners have no help and no choice.
When Good Owners Struggle
Barking from Loneliness: Dogs are social animals. Long hours home alone lead to vocalization, behavioral issues, and stress—for both the pet and neighbors.
Pet Sitting is Too Expensive: With the average pet sitter charging $40–$80 a day, many dog parents simply can't afford regular help.
Work, Life, and Guilt: From shift workers to single parents, many feel crushed under the emotional and financial strain of trying to do it all for their dog—often with no local support.
And when the pressure becomes too much, some owners feel forced to surrender their pets—not out of neglect, but sheer exhaustion.
