Although I have cats, I often dog sit for friends' doggies. My cats don't mind dogs and I won't take a dog that hates cats.

I have boarded my cats at the Vet some time ago, for a week, and they were fine.

I have to cross the bridge in June and I plan to ask someone (post teenager) to stay here and pay them a per diem. The cats are always much happier having someone to stay with them. So I imagine a dog would like the same.

Sorry to hear about your Grandfather. I hope he does not suffer.
