what do you do with your baby when you go on vacation? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

BobbyYorkie · 12-13-2007, 05:07 PM

Hi all, Just wondering what everyone does when they go out of town and cannot bring their babies along. My bobby wouldnt do very well at a kennel. He is too attached and needs lots of personal attention. I dont have any friends or family that can take him. I dont have any trips planned but just the thought of planning one makes me worry about Bobby.

I have a very good friend who came and stayed at my house. She works as a fitness instructor, so was in an dout several times during the day and here at night. The girls LOVE her and it has worked out well for us.

Well I haven't went on a trip yet, but I plan to soon. When I do, Riley is coming with me. I'm going to choose an airline that allows dogs in the cabin. Lots of hotels are dog friendly now too.

I don't go because I don't trust anyone to watch them. I'm too paranoid!

Shelby&Seymour · 12-13-2007, 05:19 PM

We take them with us.

knfurkids · 12-13-2007, 05:20 PM

I have my niece come and stay at the house with the fur kids. She loves being with them, and it works out great. Plus, she is a teenager so she likes making the extra money to pup sit

We left them at our vets kennel. The girls in the office love them and they had lots of attention. But we also bought a RV so we will probably take them with us alot too, especially to Disney World wilderness resort campground.....

my2boyz · 12-13-2007, 05:24 PM

When we travel we take the boyz with us and now that we have the girls they will go too. I've checked into the kennels around here, in case of an emergency or something, and so far I'm not impressed...one of them actually charges for 'playtime' with your dog and that's absolutely ridiculous! I guess if I just couldn't take them with me I would have to have my Mom come stay here in our house with them...I'm not too trusting outside of family.

I waited till my babies were a year old and then found a sitter who had her own Yorkies. I took them for 2 playdates and then a trial overnighter before I left them for my trip. It was rough leaving them but I trusted the sitter, she's a member of my church that I've known for several years. I called every single day to check on them - they had a blast

Peters · 12-13-2007, 05:45 PM

my motehrinlaw or a family member comes over to feed them and let them out

Bizzymammabee · 12-13-2007, 05:46 PM

We took our very first family vacation this year and my dad babysat at his house.

I would also suggest that the gang at YT can pitch in.

georgies_mom · 12-13-2007, 05:52 PM

If we can't bring them, we drive the 4+ hours to my parent's mountain house to drop off the babies and then go on our trip from there. We travel to Florida a lot and my parents have another house in Florida too- we are pretty careful to match up our travel plans to when my parents can babysit and where they will be at the time.

SarahandElisha · 12-13-2007, 05:55 PM

I'm leaving Jesse at a Petsmart Hotel in a week for a business trip. I'm nervous, but I think he will be fine.

011011 · 12-14-2007, 09:12 AM

We either take them all along or good ole Grandma Bonnie comes to babysit.(my mom)

celstu1 · 12-14-2007, 09:18 AM

I left my boys for 1 week with (at the time) the guy I was dating. My boys adore him and he adores them! They had a week of getting table scraps (nothing crazy that would make them sick, but WAY more than I would have fed them) and having run of a HUGE house! hahahaha and NOT being told NO and no brushing or baths... they were IN their glory! I SWEAR I heard them tell me they didnt want to go home when I got back! HAHA
