Como's pet-sitting market is small but active, served mainly by international online platforms (Pawshake, Holidog, Rover-equivalent DogBuddy) that match local sitters with visitors. A handful of in-village kennels on the lake outskirts (Cernobbio, Tavernola) handle full daycare and overnight boarding.
