Default Tank sitter services (Calgary)

Looking to get a tank sitter for a week and a half in April. Before I impose on family friends or neighbours, I am wondering if there are any professional tank sitters who do it as a paid service? Any recommendations or anyone out there does this, that Evergreen in the SW isn't out of the way for? Please and thank you?

Hey Tony, I can help if you want. My recommendation is to have a neighbor come in and to just leave my number if they have any questions.
I am leaving for the long weekend though so that could be a bit tough.

Hey Tony,

I will make you a deal... I will eventually want a holiday also. I can help you out, if one day you can return the favour.

Let me know,

Rick

Just drop your tank off at my place while your gone. I'm by the airport anyway so you can do it on your way there

I'd be happy to check in on your tank while you are away. Let me know.

On a sepeate note - I also need a tank sitter for July 2nd - July 16th (two weeks). I could start a new thread, but it seemed reasonable to jump in on this one. I'm at Deerfoot and 130th.

Thanks all. I had sort of opened this thread in the hopes that I'd find an actual professional service that would perform this as an invoiceable service just to see what/who was out there but I guess it looks like there is no such thing.

Turns out globaldesigns and I live pretty close to each other so we'll come up with a gentlemen's agreement over this.

@Abcha0s- I'm not sure if I'm around that time otherwise I'd offer up but I can certainly be a backup contact if need be, just would maybe need a quick once-over of the system before you go so I'd know what to do in the event of an issue.
