Hello, We are going out of the country for a week and are trying to decide what would be best for our 2 Chi boys, Scout and Rico. They are 4 and 2 years old and do not have any special needs other than wanting your full undivided attention 24/7. After doing research we went to visit the best rated kennel in the area yesterday only to find they are already full. We are on their "wait list" to get in for that week. The staff member assured me that they have lots of cancellations and we have a good chance of getting in. It appeared to be a clean, well run kennel. they would have an inside/outside run and be allowed to go into a grassy area to potty three times a day. It does still have the feel of the "dog pound" with the cement runs and lots of barking dogs.
The other option would be to have a pet sitter come in and walk/feed/interact with them 4 times a day at home. We used this woman before for a weekend and it went ok but we did find our old lady dog had peed in the house. Our 2 boys are more reliable inside although I do have to watch Scout for marking. Any thoughts? We are usually fortunate that my parents babysit the boys but they cannot do it this time. Thanks, Sue
