there are so many many dog sitters out there and some of them are listed in the daily sun newspaper classified...i have one..that is professional but have not used her as yet...her name is charlene if you want her number.but oh my gosh there are so many its endless.if its a new environment they are need time to adjust..and if you are going away right now(not trying to lay a guilt trip on you) but if you go away ..the moment you move into a new place..they will really be traumatized a bit i think. they need to get used to their new home. i have a beautiful 2 year old sheltie..and want to get away too..just for day trips...and for someone to come over and just let her out to go potty..she is so shy our new sheltie though i m afraid she will be really upset with a stranger in the house. i will tell you this from my heart...(that is if you havent gotten thoroughly disgusted with my note yet haha to you) and again no guilt trip here..am i laying on you..but they are family..our pets...and truth be told.....kennels are horrible..they get diseased there...thats where kennel cough comes from..sigh, and if its at all possible its just best to take them with you if you can. i realize thats not always feasible..but they ask so little from us...and give back so much in the love department. we are going away in march to myrtle beach. it was very difficult to find a nice pet friendly hotel..that takes dogs...i had so many nice condos..and they didnt take dogs. having a pet, having a dog...is not always convenient..but it is always rewarding. good luck and God bless.
