Pet baby sitters

How many here use "live in" pet sitters when you leave home? We do...we found a SWEETHEART of a girl, 16 years old. She stays here at the house, plays with the dogs, she CLEANS house (vaccums, mops, DUSTS, cleans the bathrooms) and ALL that for only $20 a DAY :eek:

We just use a pet sitter. She comes twice a day, plays with them, makes sure they have food and water also for $20 a day.

My brother Paul will use a pet sitter for his two Jack Russell terriers when he comes for a short visit over Christmas. The sitter likes the dogs so much -- as well as brother's movie collection -- that she'll just stay there while Paul is here. :)

My job might send me TDY to Ohio next month and I get to take the hubby, but I think I won't be able to find a pet sitter for Digger, not many people around here are into reptiles, he might have to go to the vet's viv for a week, sigh

You're smarter than the average bearcat Snowman! Standing down in the face of a monetary argument with female is a wise decision. :lol:
