I think if Calypso had better potty habits, then I'd get a neighbor to pet-sit, coming in to check on them, pooper-scoop litter boxes once or twice daily.
I hope I didn't make you feel bad about boarding them. I was just speaking generally about it. What's important is that they're cared for. I will say that this is where having a professional care from them is helpful. I have used several and they have all been immune to animal issues like going outside the box. Our current one was quite understanding of Sophie's issues in using the box as she got old. She's also comfortable medicating them and otherwise humoring their odd habits.
