I'd board. Even if the dogs get let out the same amount of time as when a pet sitter would be coming, there is a lot to be said for the fact that in most boarding kennels someone is always around. If the dogs happen to knock something on the floor, eat it while a back is turned, or even hurt themselves trying to get out of a crate, the kennel will see it much sooner (most likely) than a pet sitter that is coming three times a day.
For a short time I think a pet sitter would be ok, but for 13 days I would feel better about a kennel.
Our kennel is similar to Thracian and Teddy gets to be out almost all day, plays with other dogs, and has a great time.
