View Full Version : Need pet sitter/kennel for august bank holiday
scutrooper 11-08-2008, 01:01 I have a 7 year old staffy, who is lovely and not aggressive at all though he does get exciteable
The dog (his name is Otis) needs a good 2 walks a day or he gets too full of energy and gets restless
Can anyone recommend a sitter, not a live in one preferably, or a kennel in the lower walkley/hillsborough area who isn't going to charge more then £15 a day, i know that may be asking a lot, if not i will cancel my holiday, been let down last minute by a friend who was supposed to be having him
I've already had a good look through the previous posts and can't seem to find anyone local
I wish you luck in your search
August is usually fully booked months in advance for any pet sitting or boarding services
the best I can suggest is that you contact all that you can find in the phonebook and ask to be notified of any cancellations
bear in mind that for kenneling you usually need kennel cough vaccine which must be administered 2 weeks before they go in
I assume you were planning to go abroad?
scutrooper 11-08-2008, 01:08 no i was going to infest (festival) in bradford, its the only holiday i get each year, he had all his boosters in july but as my house mate was supposed to look after him i didn't get the kennel cough as well and now its too late as its less then 2 weeks away :(
I hope your dog eats your housemates favourite pants :mad:
Why's your housemate backed out?

I'm not sure that they cover Hillsbro, but she's very good. :)
Bloomdido 11-08-2008, 11:55 My OH may be able to help. How many days? She is police checked and works as a lecturer (and loves animals).

is this the weekend that there's a big festival thing on in leeds too?

its the same weekend but a different festival, this one is indoors in the uni buildings and can't take dogs, wouldn't be a good environment for him anyway to be honest

well, yes, quite :?
do you not have a suitable neighbour or family who can look after him for you?
scutrooper 12-08-2008, 21:06 no we have nightmare neighbours on one side and a cat owner on the other, my mum has little yappy dogs and couldn't look after him, my dad has cats and my sister is working nights that weekend, i'm asking a few friends but not sure if they will be able to

I could possibly help you out with a few walks since from your location I must be just round the corner from you, but obviously I'm not a professional animal sitter.
holidayhutch 14-08-2008, 09:16 I Pm'd you the quote you asked for a few days ago now and have had no reply, can you let me know asap if you need us as we are almost fully booked up for pet sitting the dates you require.
scutrooper 14-08-2008, 18:39 Hi thanks to everyone who has replied to this, i've just got word from a friend she'll be able to come stay at my house to look after Otis as she's now not going away

I've got a 14 week old Cavalier King Charles (Zachary), super well behaved, but I'm looking for someone to keep him company on the odd times I go out (to the movies, etc). Obviously, I might be back late (after 11pm), can anyone recommend anyone to look after him?
Thanks in advance!
scutrooper 11-09-2008, 18:53 where abouts in sheffield are you?
:)
Woodseats.
Thanks for the quick reply :)
scutrooper 11-09-2008, 19:40 i'm in walkley so i'd be no good but hope you find someone :)
