You're exactly right, Neko! I totally forgot about asking the veterinarian's office about petsitters. In fact, I remember now that a vet tech who used to work for our vet did pet sitting and she would stay in your home if you wanted her to. Good idea!!! Plus, a lot of petsitters will have their cards on display at the vet's office, and the office may be able to give a good/bad recommendation on them (hopefully they would only let people they trust advertise there).
