I did find someone within 3 miles and contracted with her for our last vacation but I am skeptical about how many times she visited. I told her that we would not be returning until late Saturday evening (8:00 pm to be specific) from our last vacation and when we returned home (at that time), she had not made the evening visit. Our poor puppies eyes were floating and our cat had no food. It appeared that the litter box had not been cleaned for a few days also.

I have seriously thought about starting a business like this myself due to the fact that (1) there doesn't seem to be very many people who do it, and (2) the ones out there don't seem to do a real good job. However, I also understand that there is a lot of responsibility that comes along with it which is why I haven't pursued it because I'm not sure I could make that commitment at this time.

Does anyone have any recommendations? We are going on vacation again in May and I need to get someone lined up.

Thanks!

A Purrfect Way Pet Sitting (410.610.4861) has been around for 8+ years. If she can't help you with your times and date, she can let you know about other pet sitters in the area.

I read your message a few days ago, but could not respond until I registered. The reason i'm responding is that I now live in Prince Frederick and had been a vet tech for 14 1/2 years until April 07, only because I had spinal surgery. I love animals and am a very responsible adult. So if you have not found anyone and would consider allowing me to look after your pets just let me know and we can arrange a meeting so you can meet with me and I can also meet your pets.
