Default stay in my home pet sitter

We will be traveling to Seattle for our son's wedding this summer. We have two cavalier spaniels and would love to find someone who is willing to stay in our home to keep the boys on their regular schedule.
If you are or know someone who provides this service please send me a message so we can get in touch with you.
Thanks

You have PM blocked on your account so no one can send you a PM. Please send me a PM and I will give you the information needed to properly care for your babies while you are away this summer.

And I can tell you a cautionary tale and whom to avoid.
A sitter who lives in TV who ignored feeding instructions, Ate most of a store of meats in freezer, let her boyfriend come over and sleep with her in the master bedroom...I am not making this up.

To top it off, used credit card I gave for possible animal emergecies to buy food to throw herself a birthday party. Pm me for name.

My dog has never crawled to me, even though abandoned thrice, except after this sitter had her for 10 days. I came home to cat urine in the closets and the vac still smells like it was used to pick up cat poop...the very devil.

Holy cow! What a horrible experience -- I would have a dying duck fit if I came back to that. No, a full on hissy fit. I am still sitting with mouth open. Jiminies.

Thinking about this and I'm still p****ed! I don't think we should PM you for the name, I think you should shout it from the rooftops. We all need to know who this she devil is.

Thanks for feeling the pain. Prefer to PM it for personal reasons...friends of friends, etc.
It took several weeks to take the new pounds off the 17 YO overeater kitty, who has a metal plate holding his rear femur together.

The sitter wrote copious notes about herself every day on the back of five pages of instructions she apparently did not read.

So, OP and all, just because a woman is a pretty blonde with a sweet seeming personality or whatever the cover, get several references before you let anyone in your home. I realize it could have been worse. My animals recovered.

Kitty, what a nightmare!!! I'm outraged your pets had to go through such trauma. Thanks for the warning, I'll PM you for her name.

This is the kind of experience we all fear. As we will be looking for a pet sitter in the future I PM'd you for the name to avoid! Thank so much for the heeds up and so sorry for your horrible experience not to mention the trauma to your poor pets!
