Looking for dog sitter

We have a little energetic Shih Tzu who will be placed in a kennel for the month of March while we are on holiday. Kennels are far more expensive here than we were used to in Australia (nearly double) and so far I haven't found one that's nearly as comfortable as the ones in Oz either. I don't mind leaving him for the odd overnight stay or weekend but I would really like to find him a "home" for a month if there is anyone willing to take him. We would pay an allowance for your trouble. A location near Lenzburg-Aarau would be fantastic. He's a lovely dog. He's energetic and LOVES to play fetch endlessly. He's fully trained for all the basics like sit, come, down, off, etc He will bark at the odd cat or bird but will stop when he's asked. Anyone interested?

Cheers Tamara

Re: Looking for dog sitter

I am not sure how far away we are. What is your dog like with children? We have a six year old who is desperate for a pet and I think it would be a good idea for her to see that it isn't all playing and laughter, there is more to it than that. Walks and droppings collections spring to mind. Let me know what the distance involved is, I can't promise anything but it is a possibility.

We do dog-sitting in Vaud, with at least 3-4 hours of exercise for your pooch per day :·)

I think you might live a bit far away but I'll have a look at your website.
Thanks, Tamara

Sorry my geography of Switzerland is not very good. Where abouts is Arbon? We are in canton Aargau.

Zug might be a bit far away. We are close to Lenzburg, in canton Aargau. We are thinking of placing Haly somewhere within an hour or less away.

Thanks heaps for replying though.

Anytime... my thinking was that if it's for a whole month we could even fetch her for you, we do that occasionally. Lausanne is 2h 10min from Zürich by train for example.

All the Best, Hannah

That's very nice. I wouldn't have thought you would do that. I'll give it some thought....

Cheers,
Tamara

Re: Looking for dog sitter

Thanks for your consideration

There's a website called dogsitter.ch which is for advertising sitting services (in German)

Perhaps you'll find something there... course no one's better than we are tho

All the best!
