[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 738083, member: 4152"] Wish...Thank you and you are right. I would only board a young dog for a max of one day. And never an old dog. This was a horror. Copa..alternatives are limited. A friend who stays at your house or comes 2-3 x a day is best. Since we moved here we did use a pet sitting service once. We had to go out of town for a week. It was not ideal...but obviously better than this. I have a camera in my doorbell. Noticed some little oddities. We were planning on getting inside cameras installed before hiring them again. I had also been making inquiries for pet sitters on a Local FB Page. At my previous home, I also sometimes used a neighbor. I used her less often when her dog died and I couldn’t fully reciprocate. She also got more busy with her work. But, I would say a friend or neighbor would be my first choice and my second would be a pet sitting service (licensed and bonded) and having cameras (sadly) is a great idea. The one I used was crazy expensive and when I got back I was shocked that her bed smelled like pee. I had left three beds and told them to simply throw a soiled bed into the garage and replace it with a clean one. The clean beds were never used. Why? She (the sitter from the service) also seemed to of stole a roll of paper towels. How odd. I talked to the owner about a few things and another company about installing inside cameras. This way if I saw something really bad, I could call the owner and tell him to send someone else or he himself would have to complete the assignment. So even the expensive pet sitting service wasn’t ideal, but I believe it was better than this horror. [/QUOTE]
