Dogs make us happier - even if you don't have one of your own. With a babysitting dog, you enjoy companionship, exercise and routine, without full-time care. Here are 6 reasons why that feels so good.
1. Walking gives a happiness boost
On meh days, walking outside really helps. Walking activates your body and head - with a dog, it becomes more fun and you go more often.

2. Cuddling lowers stress
Petting and cuddling release oxytocin. This has a calming effect, your heart rate drops and you relax.
3. Structure without fuss
Feeding times and walking rounds provide rhythm. Perfect if you work from home or want more staying power.
4. Less loneliness
A dog around you is a nice distraction and warm company. You feel less alone.

5. You meet people faster
With dog, you have faster conversations in the park - and through Petbnb, you have contact with the owner. So your network grows naturally.
6. Dogs make you smile
From crazy sleeping postures to zoomies - dogs make for happy times and that does your mood good.
