Looking For A Dog Sitter

[sloutch]

Awww I'd love to have him if I lived closer. My little Maltese loves company - I only just recently left her with friends who have 2 x Maltese/Shitsu's while I went to NZ.

I hope you find somewhere for him

I'll fly him over to Canberra for you?

It'll still be much cheaper than paying $1k plus to put him in the boarding kennel and at least i know he is in the safe hands of a dog lover

oh serious!?

What date in January are you going?

I have a townhouse with a small courtyard, so Molly is an inside dog, but I walk her all the time (live right next to a lake). Is your dog ok with no real "backyard"?

just spoke to the boss lady,

few question's. how does it go with cats ? and would it jump at the bird cage,

cat is inside at night, and just roams around during the day, bird is in cage outside 24/7

asked my parents, however my dog doesn't like small dogs. if it was bigger, it would have been fine. then again, it seems like your dog is a house dog. our spoodle is outdoors only (99% of the time).

Go well, go Shell!

Thanks Michelle, i might have someone in Melbourne to look after him. A really big THANK YOU to the SAU community for helping me out. I guess it pays off to be a SAU VIC member too

Tomorrow i would be meeting up with this kind SAU VIC member and confirm the details. I will keep you posted Michelle.

Yeah mine is an indoor dog. It's a moodle . Speaking of which, he was lost for 5 days out in the wilderness of Narre Warren when i left him over at a mate's house last year and he survived! Found him at a local council dog pound. Smart dogs they are .

LOL at the "wilderness" of Narre!!!!

When we were kids, our Doberman survived nearly a month in the dense bush of East Gippsland, and even fathered some puppies with a dingo, then came back to our holiday house.

Glad you found somewhere for him though.

Go team SAU!!

give the dog a buz cut and it ll be fine outdoors. even though, when it's 35c+, then i let my dog inside until it cools down or wash it's head in fresh water, either way, dogs are made for the outdoors.

[Shell]

He lives in an apartment lol

[sloutch]

Many thanks to everyone that PM'ed me.

I have found someone who kindly offered to look after my dog while i'm away.

Thanks also to Michelle who offered some interstate help . Once again i have to say how fortunate i am to be part of the SAU community.

Thanks all!

Haha! So sweet of you Gerald...

Anyway, the supposedly good samaritan from the forums PLAYED ME OUT!!..

Everything was pretty much confirmed until yesterday when he texted me to tell me he decided to charge me $100 a week for his services! On top of that i have to provide food and everything..

So in total it will cost me about $1000 for him to take care of my dog. Fair enough people might say nobody does things for free now. I was actually thinking of giving him a couple of hundred dollars in the first place. The dog hotel i've looked up quoted me $1,200ish for the duration and they'll provide medication, food and grooming every fortnight.

I replied and negotiated a lesser amount and heard nothing from him again. Ain't going to come out with his name or nick name here but i'm really disappointed at how this turned out, it actually tells you about the character of this individual. Not sure if in the future should anyone actually have any business trading on the forums with this person.

Anyway i have found a friend of mine who can take care of my dog . Thanks all again for your attention and kind offers!

Yeah chicks dig small little white dogs!

Too bad you didn't PM me earlier before that guy who played me out. Shame on him seriously if he is reading this.

[Shell]

oh that sux.. if that was his intention he should have said that upfront instead of wasting your time

I wasn't expecting any money at all except for food costs!

Glad you found somewhere else though
