I am a pet sitter

Basenji Talk
  • V

    Hello, I'm a new member to the forum. I am retired, but started a pet sitting business in North Georgia Mountains several years ago. If you have any questions you would like to ask about pet sitters and how to hire one, I'd be glad to help. There are very good sitters, and there are really bad ones. Despite the fact a sitter is registered with national pet sitter organizations doesn't make them a good sitter, trust me. I also own four dogs, including one newly adopted Basenji, and have two pet sitters who help me out when I need to go away.

    We lived in Davis for many years where there is only the public display but you can hear the mortars they use pretty much everywhere in town. We have been in Ventura for past couple of years for dog shows and they also only have public displays but they also have several shows within a 10 mile or so radius and the mortars are clearly audible. My husband and I strive to expose our puppies to lots of noises when they are here. We get the holiday poppers and watch loud action movies with the surround sound on so the pups learn it is no big deal, just everyday kind of things because you just never know when they may be exposed to loud noises again. Some people say they have good results playing the loud action movies on the 4th so that by the time the fireworks start the dogs just think it part of the show.

    I leave the radio on for EL D while I'm gone at work – not because it calms him down but because I don't want him going bonkers because he's hearing the squirrels making noise outside :) He generally sleeps while I'm gone.

    Sharron! Thanks! I'll look for a copy of the book. My family hikes a bit, but haven't taken the dogs out yet. LOL, we're always prepared to have to carry a kid back, so a dog should not be a problem. ;-) Please tell Teriann thank you also.
