The doghouse

I need a dog day care person for one day

And do you think I can find one near by? Can I hell. My lovely home boarder is just too far away for a day stay, and the nearest kennels won't do a day stay. Would it be dodgy to advertise that I'm looking for a sitter do you think? I can't move house with Jasper under foot

Will your nearest kennels do an overnight stay so he's away for 2 days?

Where are you ?

I don't think it would be dodgy to advertise, you know what type of person you are looking for.

No doggy sitters in your area already ? Someone who will come from further away ?

Anything I can do to help ? Google ?

I could board him for two days scurry, but I'd rather not. He's never been kennelled before and I'd fret Blush

I'm not far from Burton-on-trent, Mrs. There seem to be a lot of dog walkers and sitters, but only in your own home iyswim. As I'll be between homes, this would be an issue Grin I found a couple of websites stating that they offered day care, but haven't heard anything back despite emailing them on Sunday.

Tbh I would kennel him for one night. It would be good to know his safe and not under your feet. You would be shattered after a move.

Chickens,

Ok, I'll have a google for you. I know in my area there are several groups who do do home-sitting in their own homes...

Maybe you need to make a couple of calls ? I do know as well that some 'companies' who offer transportation also do day care.

I'll be back ! Smile

OK.

Animals At Home (national forest) //www.nationalforest.animalsathome.co.uk/dogcarephp offer 'animal hosting' instead of kennels.

Burton Pet Sitters //www.burtonpetsitters.co.uk

Elite Pet Care //www.elitepethomecare.co.uk

//www.doggiesretreat.com

Let me know if any are suitable !

I am sure you may have already emailed a couple, honestly I would call them, much more likely to get a response !
