Pet Sitters

[mis2810]

Anybody have a personal recommendation on pet sitting services for when you're out of town?

Thanks!

There was a forum member that used to do this. Colemanscottage, I believe.

I have used "Joy to the Pets" on a number of occasions to take care of our zoo when we've been out of town. She's a fanatical animal lover and does a great job! Highly recommended.

Man, I'm moving in there! Place is the freakin' Biltmore for pets!

Seriously though, some pets do okay with boarding (if they are used to being boarded), some do better in their regular surroundings with a pet sitter stopping by. Much less stressful for them. I've tried it both ways and the sitter option works best for us. Plus, I'd have to take out a 2nd mortgage to board the entire zoo.

Yeah, I understand... They have daycare where they play with 15-20 other pets 9-5... which I like.. he gets a ton of exercise and gets to socialize.

 

[mis2810]

Mine do okay with boarding, it's the car ride that's the nightmare. Cats hate cars. I just feel so much better have a referral from someone that's used the pet-sitter before. I've never done this and I feel kind of weird about it.

Whats weird is my dog HATES cars too... I think he's the only dog.

My little Mexicat loves the Jeep! He rode all the way home from Rocky Point in my lap.

That's cause he's Mexican! My Gringa Gatas can't handle it! LOL If mine could they'd be going with me. Have you ever been asked for Mexicat's shot records on the way home?
