Seeking a House/Pet Sitter

My family is going to Florida for a week in November and I'm having a really hard time finding someone down here on the southside to watch our house/dogs. I was referred to a tech at our vet's office but she already has a doggie sitting gig for the same week. Does anyone know a reliable pet/house sitter who isn't horribly expensive and who absolutely LOVES dogs? My doggies are big, rambunctious, and if you don't understand dogs you might think they were a bit scary (but they're not...they just LOOK that way). Any ideas?? BTW--We live in Beverly.

Thanks a bunch!!

T.

What can I do next?

Hi, I am a single mom, and a professional dog trainer. I absolutely LOVE dogs ( I currently have 3 of my own!), and big dogs don't bother me, anymore than little dogs. How many times a day are you talking about? What would it entail? I have plenty of references, that's for sure. If you paid for my time, and alittle extra for gas, I might be interested. What week? Fill me in on details, and then we can go from there. I am planning on going to Kentucky, to my brother's on Thanksgiving, but, I have dogs, so it would be a one day trip. If I can help you out, let me know. J.

Hi T.,

I do provide house sitting. I live in Justice, however I travel to the city 4 days a week near Beverly. Please let me know what the length of time is and how much you are trying to spend.

My friend, Gina Miarka, would be wonderful. Her number is ###-###-####. She books up fairly far in advance, but it's still worth a try. She is also a vet tech. She works in Westmont and lives in the Orland Park area.

We've had really good experiences with Lucinda Bishop - "All For Paws." Her rates are very reasonable (though I can't remember them off the top of my head) and she cares for our three dogs and two cats. She's great with the animals and even leaves us a long note for when we return about how the animals did while we were gone. We are in Oak Lawn.

I used to use a pet sitter service called Out You Go! - They would come to the house once or twice day (depending on what you need) and take care of the pets. I haven't used them in a long time so you might have to Google them.
