You could also try Barking Mad. They advertised in the March edition if The Chronicle, which can be found online under a community/other.

Have you tried a company called "Wagging Tails"? Your dog goes to live with a registered and insured carer in their home as part of the family for the duration of your holiday. Google Wagging Tails and have a look if you are not sorted out yet.

Sidley, thank you so much. I have potentially found someone although I did learn about Trusted Housesitters this week and as you say it sounds brilliant and is a good price.

Kim, try https://www.trustedhousesitters.com/gb/ - I discovered this website last year and have become a member. You can find a house/pet sitter for free, and they get to stay at your place for free - all you pay (if you're up for it) is a membership fee which to be honest isn't that much, especially if you intend on going away now and then. It's a fantastic idea and I'm addicted. I'd offer to help myself but I don't think I can commit to 3 weeks!!

Thanks Liz, the service sounds great if you can afford to pay. I'm really looking for someone who might like to have a temporary companion or who may be willing to live in my house for the duration for free. The cost of most dog sitting services is more than my holiday!

Kim, just came across a local ad for exactly what you're looking for, Oxfordshire-based "network of carefully selected hosts" for dogs www.barkingmad.uk.com

Hi Kim, did you find someone to help?

Boy did I miss-read this post's heading!

Hello Kim - if you go down to the veterinary practice on the Spendlove site, they will be able to give you some excellent advice. In fact if you look under 'Business' and then 'Animals' on this website, you'll find some excellent help there too. Good luck!

Hi Liz, that may be an option although in this first stage I was looking for someone who may consider a temporary companion :-)

Are you looking for someone to come and stay in your house, Kim? If so I may have a suggestion

I'm looking for someone locally who might consider looking after my little dog for three weeks this summer. Loyal, well behaved and house trained. Any suggestions welcome.
