Dog Sitter
 

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

Dog sitter
 

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!

Please send me the contact info. Can always use a good pet sitter. Thanks!

we also would like the # of a good dog sitter.We have a 9lb shih Tzu just a year old.Loves every body!!!

dog sitter
,lots of references,Read about in previous posts...send PM

I would also like to know the name and number of the dog sitter. Please email me: grstfjc@gmail.com.

What does it cost for inhome care?

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

What is the going rate for a dog sitter these days?

I am so sorry for the loss of your friend.

Cost
 

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

Does anyone know who will cat sit in their home? The cat is my daugthers and she lives in Lady Lake She wants to join the family up north at Thanksgiving and does not want to leave her alone. We would do it except we will be up north with her. This is for 4 or 5 days

Thanks Joe

Greed
 

After following recommendatios concerning Miss Paradis I returned after leaving my 8 lb dog and food, the next day 23 hours later at 1:30 pm to be told I would be charged for 3 days because she was not picked up by deadline of 10 am

I had asked repeatedly when would be a good time and "convenient" to pick my dog up and was never told of any deadline

Money is nothing to me but "principle and quality people" are

SHE HAS LOST ME AS A CUSTOMER ! :mad:

snowbird I live in a courtyard villa and have 2 very friendly yorkies and occasionally I am in need of a sitter. If you are ever interested in just exchanging services in lieu of payment please pm me.

That really stinks. Was it the sitter you quoted in your post? She will not last long with that kind of customer service.

YES !! :cus:

Something does not compute. I could understand a charge for two days for a dog left 23 hours, but not three and even that would require some strange times for drop off and pick up. I've known Yvonne for over ten years. She is one of the sweetest, most honest people I have ever met. Sounds like a total miscommunication to me.

Miscommunication
 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's no big deal and I certainly don't hold you responsible for your friend. She may have good references but I'm just telling you what our experience was as my wife was the one that picked up our dog and had it been me I would not have paid the extra. Maybe she didn't like my wife. Who knows but as the song say's.... "Once bitten twice shy" and it's no big deal as my wife is the one that says this has shown "us" the quality of a person and will not go back. I just can't understand why after my asking when it would be convenient for "her" as to what time to pick up our dog....she NEVER mentioned a 10 am "deadline"

Headed to Atlanta..... Enjoy your day :crap2:

It's over and done with...... Gotta keep my bride happy and has taught us to "ASK QUESTIONS FIRST"

Enjoy your day

Oh my gosh, may I trouble you for the phone number or email of your dog sitter? We have two small dogs. twoas1@comcast.net or call 651-429-2078:wave:

I also had a horrible sitter stay in my home. She ignored feeding instructions, trained the cat to litter in house vs lanai, rearranged dozens of personal items in my home, and used a credit card left for pets to the vet emergencies to buy herself food.
Sitters Initials are B F.

Think I'd be calling the police if that happened. Using your credit card for personal usage is theft, plain and simple.

Yep. Did that...

Stay away
 

Also had bad experience from sitter Y P recommended by Redwitch.
My dogs are my children and I won't be taking them over to her again

We have a 10 year old 55 lb Labradoodle and need to have someone take her in for a week in April while we are away. We have had sitters come to our house before, and she didn't do well with that arrangement.

Does she get along with other dogs? We have a 10 year old male Labradoodle.

I have a yellow lab and Bichon and am looking for a good Dogsitter for Apr 7-18. Does your friend take larger dogs (she's very gentle and loving)? Please let me know.
Thanks .

Myra and Jess Frezer 352-750-3321. The best and they love your baby like their own.

Hi!
Reading through the posts on pet sitters & saw you have a larger dog. Did you find someone & would you recommend to me?

Jmf425@verizon.net

We use Bonnie at comfortofhome4pets.com. She prefers big dogs. She has fenced acreage and a doggie door in her house. They are only crated for meals. They each have a dog bed in her bedroom. She will pick up and deliver. If they're there for a while, she bathes them before they go home.

As soon as our dog realizes we are there, his wagging tail starts destroying the car. He jumps out at the entry gate, bounds into her golf cart to ride down to the house, and never looks back. He's like, Don't let the door hit you on the butt on the way out!
