Yup, I brought this up previously here and here, since many folks might assume something nefarious, simply because they don’t know about the feature:

That might be an anti-stalking feature — Apple has created one to avoid people unknowingly being stalked with AirTags. But of course, I don’t know the device your sit dogs were using specifically. Generally, best to ask your hosts.

So maybe it was the anti-stalking feature that you noticed. Some creepy people were secretly slipping AirTags into others’ cars or belongings, to stalk them surreptitiously. AirTags now trigger every so often, to make people aware that they’re being used.
