Horse / dog sitters - anyone know of any ?

TheB

Just thinking ahead..

OH wants to escape for a long weekend or so in early 2008 - most likely after we have moved our horses home to new house (*fingerscrossed*) - does anyone know of any animal sitter companies or anything that would look after the menagerie for a few days ?

Have heard of some where they live in your house etc while you are away - kind of house sitters with extra animals!

I know of people, who in similar cirumstances, get a friend to feed the animals in the morning and evening.

Otherwise its the kennels and a livery yard for the weekend!

Thats what I was thinking - kennels & a livery yard! Do know yard I'm a now does holiday livery so that would prolly be ok ..

Would be better if someone could live in in an Animal Aunt way but if not thats the way I'll have to go.. unfortunately can't get someone to feed am & pm as horses clipped and stabled at night.. need mucking out / turning out etc - would be ok in summer when they are out .. then just dogglies to go in kennels..

May have to press gang friends into "having a relaxing weekend in the country" (while looking after a shed load of hyperactive accident prone animals :cool::D)

I'll ask a horsy friend of mine from Westmeath and see if she has any suggestions.

Hmm I think I may have you sorted . You should get a pm from someone who's interested in doing it.

Hi DDM -

I've PM'd you! Have dogs and horse but sadly no VeeDubs.. have got a few friends who are mad about them and one spent last summer bringing his "BabyGirl" (honestly - it's what he calls her) back to life from a rusty shell.. she's gorgeous now though..

Hi there,

just saw your request. Depending on the location, I often house/horse/pet sit for people. I live in wicklow and i have a house/horses/dogs/cats and hens so can cover most requirements!

Contact me if you havent got yourself sorted!
