Leaving them at a Boarder with lots of others dogs is kind of out of the question right now. So if they can't leave their dog alone at home, and don't have an individual they can trust with their dog, they're left with very few options.
Taking the dog with them isn't ideal, but it's less likely to be being exposed to other dogs on a flight (not every flight has dogs on it) than leaving it with a dog boarder where they're crowded in a big room with tons of other dogs in kennels.
It's a bad situation to be in for dog owners in general.
My city has a number of agencies that offer at home pet care. Even house visits of a range of levels of vet care. There are full on vets, and lots more vet techs.
That's a tough choice, though.

We just get a friend who is willing to house-sit for a week or maybe even just a weekend and offer to pay them for it. We've always found a taker.
