Would LOVE to find a person who is crazy about dogs to take care of my Toby in their home while I am on a 3 day trip back to Reno. I have a friend with cancer who has just been put in hospice and I would love to go and see him while he is still relatively well. Since I just moved here, I'm not tied into the dog sitting community yet and would appreciate your suggestions. My Toby is a small, 12 pound bundle of energy, poodle/bichon mix. He is a love - very social. Likes most other dogs altho big dogs who try to intimidate him could be a problem. Thank you for any suggestions. Steph

I have a fabulous dog sitter! She truly loves dogs! Pm or email me and I will send you her number!

Tainsley, I could use that number also. I have a 4 pound, 6 year old chihuahua named Fabio that will be needing some loving while we are out of town. He's changed many folks minds about the breed....yep, that cute of a personality!

You don't mention the dates. We had a Maltese who died last year. We absolutely love dogs. We have dog sat for our neighbor's Scott Terrier before.

Yvonne Paradis (352/750-3761) watches small (under 25 lbs) dogs in her home. Just be prepared to pick up a very spoiled pup.

Thank you everyone for your suggestions. I will keep the names and numbers handy. Unfortunately, my friend passed away while I was looking for a pet sitter and making my travel plans. I'm in the process now of trying to pick another date to travel to see his wife and check in with friends in California - so you may get a call from me!. Thank you. Stephanie

The "least expensive" (home) pet sitter I have found is $15 each day
