Define free & good. Maybe it's not as great as you want to believe it is.

Some people just get really attached. I don’t feel that way (I can leave even my kids behind sometimes), but some do. Or maybe they don’t really trust the family member to keep their pet safe.

In this case it's a family member and it is free. They would rather pay thousands out of pocket (because we don't allow dogs) than leave the dog with family and stay for free.


Frankly OP it sounds like they just don’t want to stay with you. Let them stay in a hotel with the dog. Everyone wins! What’s the issue?

In all seriousness, despite access to free and good dog care they will spend thousands extra to bring their dog along. Is this an illness?
