I would HIGHLY suggest calling around to all the vets and groomers and kennels and daycares on your town and asking if they know of anyone who does in-home petsitting. I do that here in Chattanooga (a lot also just come stay with me and my furrbutts in my own home) and I can tell it's a huge relief for the owners. Your babies will get to stay in their own home with everything they know, and have someone there with them. it's kinda like a double whammy too. You get someome taking care of your babies and they don't have to go anywhere, PLUS there is someone there pretty much watching over your house for you as well! It can cost a little more than just boarding them at a kennel, but the piece of mind is well worth the money. Even if you find someone that keeps them in their own home, that is still a great option! Lulu (my second daughter as I call her) i a little Yorkie that stays with me so much, she actually looks kinda confused when her mom picks her up and I don't get in the car and go with her or something. haha That would be my suggestion. It's a great piece of mind and you will be able to go on vacation knowing your babies are safe and cared for! You even ask your vets if any of their vet techs would like some extra cash to petsit at your home for you. I have a friend who is a vet tech and will do it on occasion for some of the clients at her vets office. Then your also getting someone who has some knowledge healthwise and can be ready if an emergency were to happen. Sorry for the novel of a reply here...lol, but I know how you feel and I want to give you all the advice I can! The first time I left my guys I was devestated. I'm lucky when I stay with my boyfriends parents I take a few of and leave some with my parents or the groomer (a good friend as well!) that I work with. But once you find someone who you trust, you can actually go and relax and have a good time on vacation! Good luck and let us know if you find someone! You have a good while to call around and search and really grill the people you want to interview for it. Again, Good luck!!!
