Where do you leave your yorkies when you go out of town - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I have a great House/Pet sitter, she comes and lives at our house while we are gone and takes care of our 5 dogs, 7 chickens and Koi fish!! I never have to worry because she spends a ton of time with them and I trust her completely!! We even went to Australia for 6 weeks one time and she stayed here the whole time!! When we got home they had twice as many toys as when we left!! She totally spoils them! Good Luck!

Usually Selah stays with my parents when we go away, but this past summer my mom was just moved into a home, and dad was too busy with that to take care of the dog, so we had to put her in a kennel. This place operated out of the same building as my vet, so I felt safe with her there b/c her vet was there if there was a problem. Still, she came home sneezing even though we did the kennel cough vacciene and all. I don't think I'll be using that place again. I actually was pretty impressed with the petsmart hotel that is near us and might consider that in a pinch. Of course, I'd rather take her with me whenever possible.!!

I leave mine with my mother and father...for them it is like going away to the doggy spa for their vacation.

I can understand your feelings. I had my best friend, Duke's god mother, stayed with him ealier this year when I had a trip for a few days but I recently cancelled a trip because I could not find anyone to watch him for me at home. I'm just worry that if I board him, the other dogs might be too big and I don't like the idea that everyone goes #1 and #2 on the floor where they play....just don't want my baby to get sick.....

Good luck with whatever you decide.

My problem is that I won't leave Pixie with ANYONE! I have had her almost a year (9 sept) and have NEVER left her yet...I certainly would never put her in kennels..and I havent yet found anyone I would trust to look after her except maybe my hubby and son if I laid down some VERY strict rules!

..besides..where I go she goes too anyway! I would much rather holiday in this country with Pixie than leave her.
