I live in the woods and finding people to take care of animals out here is tough. I do want my dogs home for sure but I am afraid they will take off on the sitter. I have never gone on vacation my entire life because I don't trust anyone with the pups. My hubby went to Cancun without me once since I could not find someone to care for the dogs. I was okay with it to a certain degree because dogs are so loyal. We did have friends care for them once when we went to Kelowna for two day to visit the inlaws... they had all their friends over, small children in the house (don't want kids in my house around my dogs when I am not there and I told them this). They ate a months worth of food in two days and my house reeked of dirty diapers. Never again. I learned with friends not to loan money or ask them to do anything for us. They got paid $100 a day and drove my truck. I don't know where they drove but my 150 litre tank was empty when I got home.
I'm a little jaded what can I say. I was hoping somebody would have names and references for home care. Darned it...
I'm going to start bugging Colby since I know he would do a good job but I don't know if he can run a store and be driving out here to live for a few days. It's worth a shot though.
