We have a very local, very lovely lady who looks after our dog in her own home whenever we need her too, if she isn’t already booked up.
He sleeps on her bed (he’s not even allowed upstairs in our house)is taken for lots of walks, and is generally spoilt to bits by her, he absolutely loves her and greets her like one of the family.
She will take two dogs at a time, three at a push if they all get on. There are a couple of dogs who have to be looked after by themselves due to being rather unsociable.
We much prefer her set up to the kennels we’ve had to use occasionally in the past, even though the kennels get very good reviews and we’ve been confident he’ll be well looked after and safe there.
What do you do with your dog during holiday or other times when he needs to be looked after elsewhere?
Prudie, with respect , I did say that our son has our dog if we can't take her with us. Nobody that those who kennneled their dogs were doing anything wrong.
We wouldn't have a dog if holidays abroad were on the cards these days. unless we could find a good dog sitter (or a willing son) We actually enjoy having our dog with us. It would feel wrong if she wasn't there.
Prudie - you don't want to get involved in a 'spat', so why did you post your 10:38 comment ?? As for my comment about taking my dog with me, I was answering the OP. Was I supposed to lie and say I leave him in kennels so as not to upset those that do ?? All I did was answer the OP and speak the truth.
