\n 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.\n <\/p>\n

1. Walking gives a happiness boost<\/h3>\n

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.<\/p>\n

2. Cuddling lowers stress<\/h3>\n

Petting and cuddling release oxytocin. This has a calming effect, your heart rate drops and you relax.<\/p>\n

3. Structure without fuss<\/h3>\n

Feeding times and walking rounds provide rhythm. Perfect if you work from home or want more staying power.<\/p>\n

4. Less loneliness<\/h3>\n

A dog around you is a nice distraction and warm company. You feel less alone.<\/p>\n

5. You meet people faster<\/h3>\n

With dog, you have faster conversations in the park - and through Petbnb, you have contact with the owner. So your network grows naturally.<\/p>\n

6. Dogs make you smile<\/h3>\n

From crazy sleeping postures to zoomies - dogs make for happy times and that does your mood good.<\/p>\n
