Advice needed-
- we have a cat, dog & 2 hamsters
- live in the springs
- no live-in maid
Me & the kids leave for hols on 22nd July
Hubby away on business from Aug 11th back 17th & then straight to UK on 18th till Sept 4th.
So need someone to look after all the animals for approx 25 days in total.
Option 1- put them in kennels/ cattery...total would be about 1,000dhs for the cat & 1,250dhs for the dog. Not sure what to do about the hamsters?
OR option 2- ask maid across the road to come in & feed them/ walk the dog etc?
Has anyone done the latter? If so how much did you pay?

Thanks.

HP offer a little critterz service where they home your hamsters/rabbits/birds etc with a sitter in their home. TBH you need to ring round quick as you're leaving it terribly late, most kennels/sitting services are fully booked a couple of months before summer.

Have you called Homely Petz? They do pet sitting/visits in your home and all of the carers know what they are doing. I would never leave the care of my pets to someone I did not know or trust. Unfortunately, it's expensive to have your animals well-cared for when you go away- a part of the budgeting many families forget to do before deciding to take pets on. ;) I hope you find a solution that works for you. Time is of the essence!!
