Dog Sitters Needed

My wife and I are going away for a while, and we need some good, honest, responsible, dog-loving people to help us take care of a dog (each) for about a month over the Christmas and New Year period (between about December 17, 18, or 19 until around the 15th, 16th or 17th of January). We have 13 dogs of all shapes and sizes, so we need quite a few volunteers, and of course we’ll provide you with food and such, and pay any expenses that you many incur because of the dog’s stay (though I’d prefer if you didn’t feed them your laptop or anything).

Some dogs require regular medication, so it’d be great if anybody who’s interested in helping a brother out could let me know exactly how much responsibility they’re willing to take on. All the dogs are house trained, of course, and they’re typically well behaved. Though they will require walking and feeding every day (not all, some older dogs could go without it everyday), your responsibilities won’t fall far beyond that and making sure they don’t die or anything.

If you can help us out, PM me, drop a message here or call my mobile (0955000609).

You might consider offering free accommodation in return for looking after the dogs at your place.

Yeah, you’re right. It’s an idea my wife and I discussed, but we’re worried our house is slightly isolated and that 13 dogs may be overwhelming for someone to care for. It’d also have to be someone I could thoroughly trust.

If someone is interested, though, contact me and we can discuss it. Our fridge is usually full of grape juice and I have the Golden Girls on DVD - if that doesn’t interest anybody, I don’t know what will.
