-L. wrote: "Thomas F. Maguire" wrote in message ... MaryL -OUT-THE-LITTER wrote in message ... I now have two cats, and I left my cats in my house when I traveled for two weeks this summer. However, I hired a pet-sitter to come in twice a day to feed them and also spend some time playing with them. That turned out to be ideal because the pet-sitter I located loves cats and gave them plenty of time. It eliminated the problem of a frightened cat being taken into a new environment for a limited period of time. Would that be a possibility for you? If so, I think this would be the better solution. Be sure to get a sitter who will spend time with your cat every day and who will make occasional phone calls to you to report on the situation. And make arrangements with your vet for your cat's care if an emergency arises and the sitter has to take the cat in for veterinary care. Good luck! And have a great vacation. MaryL Out of curiousity (and the fact that I'm going to have a cat-sitter for my one cat for five days while I'm away), how much did you pay your sitter. I'm trying to set a fair price. Thanks, Tom FWIW, cat sitters on the west coast get a minimum of $15/visit. Sometimes if they come 2X/day, they give you a cut on the second visit. I currently pay $22.50/day - 2 visits - in Portland. -L. Hey, I didn't know you lived in Portland! K |

I'm trying to set a fair price. Thanks, Tom -- www.DuendeDrama.org Bringing Plays and Stories to Our Schools and Communities Greetings... I work as a petsitter in Raleigh, NC. The company I work for charges $16/visit for the first pet plus $2 for each additional cat or $4 for each additional dog. Mind you, this is a bonded and insured pet sitting service. The kid in the neighborhood *might* be just as good and cheaper. LAL |
