Hi all

I live in the North West of England. I have a little girl aged 3 year. She is a real little cutie. It has been difficult to find anybody to care for her if I go away for a short holiday. I really do not want to put her in kennels, I would much prefer for her to be home boarded, with a fellow doggie person. Does anybody know of such a person in and around to this area.

Be much appreciated.

Good afternoon!

Sorry, I live in the South East, or I'd help!

We had the same problem with our little Harry - but I actually managed to find a really marvellous person on our 'local' (i.e. Surrey) Gumtree. Have you looked on there? Obviously you'll need to pre-interview them, check their insurance etc etc but it's a start!

Otherwise, have you advertised yourself on Gumtree for what you're looking for? In the 'petsitters + dog walkers - wanted' section?

I wonder if you've checked with local vets where people sometimes advertise this kind of service, or put your own ad up in them?

Will try to think of other alternatives! Good luck

Sorry, no, I don't.
Where do you live? I'm in Lancashire.

Not wanting to board them is the reason I always take mine with me.
