Dog sitters are really common around here, so that's what I do. I find that it's less stress on the dogs AND me (no packing them up to go to the kennel or worrying about the kennel's schedule) and it's cheaper, too! Especially if you have more than one dog.
My house is also very dog-friendly with a dog door and dog run. The sitter will stay over (if booked far enough in advance!) or stop in for play/feeding visits as often as you want. She will even take them on outings if you want her to. And she's GREAT with the dogs!
Good luck, whatever you decide! |
