Wanted, dog sitter

Posted by Judy DB Email User on January 28, 2017, 8:42 am

I need a dog sitter for my Scottie dog, Morrie, for from 9:30 until 3 on Sunday, Jan 29. Of course, I would expect to pay. This is for during the art walk. I'm participating and if you know Morrie, you know he would have to be in the middle of everything! If you would be able to do so or know a dog-sitter, please let me know asap. Thanks. (He would adore a long walk or even just to be in your company, but he gets on a trail and is off like a shot if not on a leash or lead.)He could be left in a walled yard or is good in the house if let out to pee now and then. He loves company and other dogs so long as it isn't the big black lab who stole his tennis ball and has been flaunting it up and down the beach every since. Ha.

I would be willing as long as Morrie likes my 3 dogs. I will be walking them at 5:30 on the beach and will pass by your place so they can meet. I have walled patio.

Thanks, Norma and Valerie, for stepping forward so quickly to volunteer to watch Morrie. Norma, Valerie is playing auntie today. Thanks to the message board and to you both.

I am an English gentleman living in the Caribbean in my own small resort complex.

I love dogs and cats and they love me, I had five rescue dogs until recently but two died of old age. I also have a big ginger neutered tom cat.

I want to visit La Manzanilla to see if I would like to live there. I thought it would be nice to stay for three or four weeks somewhere with dogs and/or cats.

So perhaps if someone wants a holiday I could look after their house and pets.

I am a garden lover and well used to living in the tropics.

Living on a small island I am used to fixing things or more often overseeing the fixing of things. So I can also be handy if things go wrong.

I am open to any questions and able to furnish any

reference or personal report required.

Thanks for taking the time to read this, I hope to hear from anyone who is interested.

William, you have replied to a very old post for a one-day sit that many people may no longer follow. Check out a later one titled "somethings work out" posted on March 20 at 1:59 PM, or start your own thread with a title stating what you hope to do. Suerte.

Dear Lynne

Thank you for your kind offer if I get there I will certainly look you up.

If I do not get to house and pet sit i will simply book a hotel. Its not the route I would like to go because I want to look into the local way of life from a more basic view. I want to decide if I can live there. I am not sure I can determine that from a hotel.

One of my problems is I live in relative luxury here in the Caribbean with house and garden staff. So perhaps I am a little spoiled.

I also need somewhere where the internet is good because I write.

My main daily menu is fruit, vegetables, fish and chicken. I do not eat any other meats. I do not eat dairy or wheat products. I do not smoke and I generally drink socially but certainly not excessively.

Yes, a house sit would be preferable to a hotel but, FYI, virtually all foreigners here are "spoiled" with house and garden staff, and the Internet connection is excellent. (I'm an editor who works online.) Also FYI, you can respond personally to Message Board posts by clicking on the white envelope next to the person's name.
