Dogs are a whole lot more trouble to find a sitter for.
Try an ad or word of mouth at a senior center. We’ve found lots of seniors love dogs but don’t want or can’t have one full time for a host of reasons. A part time dog entering their lives perks them up and gives them something to do and be responsible for.
Great idea. My kids have kids and dogs of their own and adding my two dogs is just over the top for them, even if we are only going to be away for one day. We don’t go much, but I have a grandson approaching driving age and I can’t wait for a new dog sitter to enter the scene! (without his parents having to drive him over.)
