I have two senior dogs that are very people dependent. Since we arrived in TV we have taken them to someone's home for sitting several times, but even that creates a lot of stress for them. Our last trip we decided to try an in-home sitter that stayed at our house while coming and going as she needed and it worked out beautifully. No stress of taking them out of their normal environment and they stayed pretty close to their normal routine. I am a great believer in in-home sitting, but I also have no problem having a stranger stay in my home. If someone loves animals they are a good soul in my book.
