Has anyone used a live-in pet sitter?

Can't you take her to the farm?

 

Do you have neighbours around you who know the cat. Perhaps you could pay someone around you to keep an eye out and feed the cat. Do you have a cat flap so the cat can get out and about .

There are people out there who have a business caring for cats and dogs at home.

One of my neighbours have gone away for 2 weeks in their motor home and a friend has come to stay and look after their cat as well. The cat seems perfectly happy.

 

I see your point, we have a couple of cats and when each of them came on board and joined our team, our initial briefing explained that although whenever possible we would spoil and pamper them to within an inch of their lives. There would be times when they would have to go into kennels. Although this is a time of abject misery for a cat, in the big scheme of things it is for a relatively short time, we get piece of mind and they know that they are safe and secure and won't be run over, kidnapped or killed by a rampaging fox.

 

I had no idea this type of service existed!

Yes, catteries do a good job and have a responsibility to look after their 'residents', but they are pretty much confined. Need to book then, as October is not far off.

 

Do you know a young ish person who still lives with their family, who would like a break and would house / cat sit for you?

I could pop in and feed Peggy, but couldn't offer a 24hr service i'm afraid

 

We've used trustedhousitters.com a number of times and they are very good

 

you will have to find an older person who is so annoyed with their partner that they fancy a two week break then!

 

Mrs slocombe used to get someone in to see to her pussy ...

 

no family members you can let live in your house? we had one of lu's daughters stop at ours once to dog sit.
as pure coincidence we're camping this weekend without the lab, my brother can't have a dog in his house but is allowed for odd weekends so he's now official step dog daddy for when we want to go camping and not take the big dog - we're still taking the yorkie 'cos she is tiny and no hassle, i'm going to miss having the lab with us in a way but the lack of doghair and snoring/farting in the van will be a change.

 

if I was nearer I wouldn't help as I don't like cats, they make me sneeze

 

Good news. I have a plan Sarah can look after the cat and I will come to Spain with you. Let me know asap as I need to get my pesetas

 

There is no however.
Just bung her in a cattery, forget about her for the week (you know she'll be 100% safe)
and then make a big fuss of her when you get back.
You're about to spend a fortnights holiday worrying about your cat - it's a mistake.

 

Ive been a nearly dead pet sitter this week any good ?

 

Is Lu not goin either...
