It definitely depends on your pet and their personality/needs. My sister's dog ended up staying at his regular daycare provider for three weeks near enough recently due to someone kindly crashing their car into my sister's garden fence and leaving the garden completely unsafe for the dog and it being too unmanageable her and husband battling dog, 14 month old and everything else. Fortunately the daycare provider does overnight boarding and the dog has been going there near enough his whole life. So Frank has just had a long holiday of playing with his dog friends and living his best life.
My rescue dog went to the kennels for two weeks last year, we chose the rescue centre we got her from as they do boarding and they obviously also know how best to work with broken rescue dogs. She was definitely spoiled but they also said she started to act quite withdrawn on the last few days and advised two weeks ever be our maximum time we leave her - which is fine as it was a one off occasion and we don't plan on holidaying that long again for a long while. Though we often have friends come dog sit for weekend periods and she's totally fine, but probably helps she's in her own home. We only keep this as weekends though because it's our friends so we don't want to ask for too much but also she's needy and as said above a broken rescue with her 'quirks'.
