Pat:
Thanks for the wonderful idea of asking my vet for a pet sitter.
My parents just moved next door, and would be more than happy to help, and keep the dog at their place when I am gone. I am retired so I have alot of time and love to give.
But, I need to keep in mind that my folks are up in age, so I am trying to cover all bases.
Your advice is great.
Thanks.
Kate

Get a reference from a vet about this, there are many good ones. Keep their number handy. Also, invest in a crate, not just a carrier..2x3 with a grated floor. You can buy water/food dishes that hook on the side..no spilling...and in a life or death emergancy you could leave them, but you can call the pet sitter even at midnight if you have spoken to them previously.
Make friends with your vet and office help..I know vet techs who
babysat in these cases..also buy from a reputable breeder who pets sits...that is how I got started boarding my babies. Good luck |
