I know there was just recently a list of neighborhood pet sitters posted to the list serve, but I haven't had much luck getting a hold of those people. I'm going away next Thursday the 19th - Sunday the 22nd and looking for someone to watch my dog Linus. The arrangement I had fell through which is why this is a little last minute. He is a 3 year old 1/2 lab 1/2 saint bernard and he's very sweet. he gets along well with people, kids and other dogs. he's house trained and well behaved. i'm probably looking for someone who would take him in their house for those days, or at least stay here. perhaps there's someone in the neighborhood that loves dogs but isn't necessarily a professional pet sitter? or a family i could exhange babysitting hours for? i'm a well respected babysitter in the neighborhood. please let me know as soon as possible if this might be something of interest to you. thanks. kelly
