Looking for a Dog Sitter

We are looking for a dog sitter to come to our home three times per day (10-15 minutes each) for a week while we are on vacation. We have a 7 yr. old yellow lab. We are looking for recommendations for a local high school or college student, if possible. Does anyone know of someone who would be interested? Please send me a PM if you are interested and I can provide details. If you have someone to recommend we'd love any input.

 

GOTTA CALL WOOFIES. licensed, insured, professional, reliable- they love your dog like he is your own! they have been taking care of my Beemer (JTR) for 4 years and he is always so well exercised, happy and relaxed when we come home we KNOW he is in good hands. i can't say enough good things about them and many will echo my sentiments.

ESPECIALLY if you are going to be away you want the peace of mind that your dog is being lovingly cared for, your door is locked, your mail brought in, your dishes washed- (OK THAT is a lie, ) and you can relax and rest easy. they send me pictures every day of him with a little note and it makes my day.

could you find cheaper, sure- but is pet care in your absence where you go to the cheapest?? no- you go to the most reliable and who will make you feel comfortable in their hands. google reviews for them- i am not alone in trusting them with my beloved mutt!

nuff said. woofies. woofies.com www.woofies.com

and no- they don't pay me- i am just a heeeuge fan.

 

Market Street Animal Clinic in Leesburg has pet sitting services available. I like it because the have a VET in case your pet needs medical care.

Just had Woofies take care of our pets while we were gone - they did an EXCELLENT job.

 

The capitalization of Vet was a typing error not for emphasis.

 

Thanks so much for the recommendations! I greatly appreciate the suggestions .
