"Bet your house stinks" Not any more - stunk of shit, then of bleach and other cleaning products, now it’s a nice, normal smelling house again I mean, I was having to pull out the fridge, washing machine, wash all the blankets and dog beds almost every other day. The amount of kitchen roll we went through too is unreal! | |||

"I’ve already told her I won’t be taking her dog again. Which is a shame because he’s a lovely wee dog and our dogs get on so well with him. But it was a nightmare us having him. She’s not from Scotland and all her family live out of country so she really has no one else to take the dog (her auntie stays here but they went away together to see family). " Ah well, see how she likes it when she has to pay boarding kennel prices | |||

"It isnt normal either for the dog to constantly have the shits as it will suffer with dehydration surely x" It’s not quite the shits but his poo is...I dunno how to describe it. Mushy? Not normal anyway. I thought it was maybe because of his food but dunno | |||

"Not good... And of course by saying you won't have him again you are kind of also saying she won't have to have yours again. We have cats, of the house variety, they don't go out, ever. We have my mum pop in to sort them when we go away but she refuses point blank to do their litter boxes. They get done daily when we are here. (So no, our flat does not drink of cats!) We are away for 10 days the end of the month, I'm dreading coming home to it. I've asked if she will just do them every two or three days and she's said she will see. One of ours is half Persian and needs daily grooming... She's lucky if she gets brushed at all when we've been away before. We love our cats but they make holidays a stress." Oh I feel your pain! When I lived at home we had cats and it was awful trying to arrange care for them. It’s the exact same for our dogs. All of my family have dogs so when we go away we don’t want to give all four of our dogs to one person, so the girls usually go to my aunties and the boys either with this woman or my parents. But we sometimes go away with my parents so it’s awkward trying to find care! Draco’s breeder says he’d look after him in a heartbeat (he adores Draco) but I’d still have to find somewhere for Benji | |||

A cat sitter may be the way to go. We’ve been investigating the costs of cat sitters as our oldest girl was diagnosed with diabetes 3 weeks ago and needs insulin injections twice a day. We used to get a neighbour to pop in and sort food/ litter trays but we can’t put the pressure of injections on him, he wouldn’t cope with that. From what I’ve seen so far, a local professional cat sitter who is a trained vet nurse will come in twice a day, feed the rabble, sort litter trays, do Polly’s insulin injections and only charges £15 | |||

"So, I have four dogs. Three chihuahua x pugs and one pug. In December 2016 a woman I knew bought her son a chihuahua for his Christmas as he liked ours so much. But she wanted ‘Santa’ to bring him, so we looked after him for ten days. No charge. Since then, she has looked after Benji (chihuahua x pug) and Draco (pug) a handful of times. We never charged each other rates because we were always doing the other one a favour, and they enjoyed having our boys staying, and we enjoyed her dog staying with us. Yesterday she came and took her wee dog home. He had stayed with us for two and a half weeks. We told her we would need paid (before he even came to us) as it’s a long time. She was fine with this. For some reason he gets the shits, but she insisted that was normal. So he shat all over our living room and kitchen, even though he was taken out very often. Not to worry though, we had the house cleaned. Spent a fortune on cleaning supplies. He also hasn’t been done, and neither has my Draco, so he was peeing everywhere too (we expected this). She asked us how much she is due us. I had no clue, but looked up local boarders and came to a very very low price. Before I tell you all how much I’m asking for; how much would you charge? Bearing in mind I don’t have a back door. In order to take my dogs into the garden, I need to carry them. I can carry 3 of my dogs at a time and Lily will actually walk from the house to the garden without running away. With her dog staying, it was two trips. " We got charged a day rate of £17.00 for daytime, extra £10 for the night. We have a Shih Tzu, who is no real trouble apart from annoying bigger dogs. | |||
