Looking for in-home dog sitter

[Amy, Cubbie & Ollie]

Hi all,

Does anyone have an in-home dog sitter in the Seattle area that they would recommend?  I live up in Bothell. 

 

I'm going on vacation from 11/29-12/7 and have a reservation at a nice boarding facility but it is very expensive to board 2 dogs so i'm exploring some other options. 

 

Thanks!

Amy, we had a house sitter for two and a half weeks while we went to Ireland this summer and she was really great with a caveat. She is an older woman and while she was able to get my dog into a car to take to daycare, she wasn't able to take her for walks. My dog is 55lbs so requires some strength to handle. My house was spotless when I got home, sheets and towels washed and bed remade, dog happy, and she handled the few issues that came up with a phone call to my friend since we were pretty much unreachable. Also, she was only $30/day. She lives in Auburn. Email me if you want more info. [e-mail]
