So just as an update to to help anyone you fins themselves in a similar predicament, I got in contact with the local barkingmad coordinator. She paid a visit to the home last night, we answered lots of questions and Freya is having a practice run on Thursday. Kathryn has been really helpful and put our minds at ease and she click with Freya very quickly. Fingers crossed she does ok on Thursday.
Thanks for everyone's suggestions/comments.
So you've had a home visit, answered questions, a trial run then are having someone live in your house while you're on holiday to look after your dog?Thanks for everyone's suggestions/comments.
Top Dog Sitters based in Cumbria (Google them) have sitters over the country, all inspected and council registered where required. You are invited to visit and meet the sitters,see the place and decide for yourself. Dogs have their own bed, toys, food, medication,baths, grooming, walks etc exactly as specified by you. Way better than any kennels/dog prison that you are likely to find anywhere.
Having watched my mum get in this mess on more than one occasion, we only ever used paid services for looking after our dog (Now departed).
We used a local dog sitter and he stayed in their house with their dogs. Obvioulsy he went there for a few hours just to check he got on with everyone.
