We are going on a weeks trip, and cannot take the dogs. I just viewed the Kennel at my vets today. Basically a doggie prison, and they only take them out to potty 2 times a day! I have a friend who's willing to come to my house on her lunchhour. But I need someone over the weekend too. There are a few petsitters around town, but I'm also apprehensive letting a stranger in my house. Almost as much apprehensive about that as I am leaving them in a kennel surrounded by barking dogs 24/7 for 9 days. PLUS whats super sad is I'd have to bring them the night before we leave to the vets kennel because we leave early the next morning! I am absoloutely heartbroken and really don't want to go on this trip. I think I'll just have a nervous breakdown and plead insanity!

What would you guys do? Petsitter come by a few times a day or kennel ? I have a yorkie mix and a shih tzu, both little girls who'd share the same run at the kennel if I do that.
