Hi everyone,
I am having a real heck of a time finding a place to keep Graham and Kersey while Dan and I go on vacation, and then the thought occured to me...why not put the word out to the PTers! Dan and I would love to vacation at some point. My friend who had watched Graham and Kersey in the past is not able to because one of her cats has gotten extremely fearful of dogs. The place where I took Graham for Physical Therapy has a boarding kennel, but I would only put them in the kennel if I paid an extra daily fee to enroll them in doggie daycare, which would give them 80% outside of cage playtime, and the other 20% resting. The problem is, that they charge $31 per dog/per day and if we do a 14 day vacation that's $868, and chances are if we do a 14 day vacation, we'd need to drop them of the day before we vacation, and pick them up after we vacation, so it may end up being close to $1000 to board the dogs at the doggie daycare. This is just way too much!
In September we would like to go to Disney World, and it would be about two weeks, but I am sure not any less. I wanted to put the word out to anyone of my friends who would either be able to babysit Graham and Kersey, or know of someplace WONDERFUL to board them, which also included a daycare facility (limiting their time in cages) and also required vaccination records, of course proof of bordetella, and proof of recent negative fecel check.
If nothing else, then either we won't go on vacation, or we'll have to pay the fee at the wonderful place where Graham had his physical therapy. It's just so expensive that I would just check with PT first :)
If someone would be able to help, please PM me :) Thanks!
P.S. there are some pet-sitting services that I could use, but they only come into the house 3-4 times per day, and Graham and Kersey are very needy/clingy dogs, and being that Kersey is still in her crate during the day, she'd be crated WAY too much. The only way I would feel comfortable with a petsitter coming to watch my dogs, is if he or she slept at my house and spent many hours with Graham and Kersey giving them the love, atttention, cuddeling, and excersise that they need and crave. I would have it no other way.
Just thought I would put the word out :)
