CHONGQING (The Straits Times/ANN): Pet boarder Zhang Yang will be spending his Chinese New Year (CNY) break taking care of 10 dogs – double the number he usually takes on – as demand for pet sitters soars during China’s longest holiday.
Mr Zhang, 29, who keeps the dogs in his two-bedroom rental unit in south-western Chongqing municipality, usually charges between 50 yuan (S$9.50) and 100 yuan a day for each dog, depending on the dog’s weight.
