Scottish / English Basenji Sitters?

Basenji Talk
  • SchouiffyS

    Hello All ! It's been a while since I have been on - but the work load has been incredible recently.
    Small query, I have to do some research in Switzerland in January (from the 1st) and I was wondering if anyone knew any excellent Basenji sitters in Scotland/England - or better yet, members who want a temporary B for a week and half. My other half will be away too - and we don't quite trust our friends with Lycia yet so it would be wonderful if anyone has had positive results with a sitter… I'm willing to drive, take a train whatever, pretty much wherever to ensure I don't have to worry about her while I'm gone.

    Many thanks!
    Lauren and Lycia

    P.S. I would be glad to return a basenji sitting favors with my own Basenji sitting

    Yes, I already have a message in with my vet's office, but I figured I would have more of a chance to find a basenji-crazed sitter in the forums! @sharronhurlbut: Have you called your vet and asked for a pet referal re this service? That would be the first place I would ask.

    I would defintely recommend martingale collars, specifically the Lupine brand ones..they are fairly inexpensive and have a 100% guarantee, meaning if your dogs eats/chews or in any way breaks it they will replace, no questions asked..we have used that policy once, when Otis decided to eat his….. As far as food..I have used Blue Buffalo, and like it lots, especially since it is easier to find. I also like EVO, Canidae and The Honest Kitchen..My dogs are on RAW so we use the Honest Kitchen or Sojos for mix ins, even when they were puppies. Good luck and how exciting..did you mention where you got her? A lot of our dogs are related so it is always fun to know.

    I doubt it would work but we are about 4 hours away in Snowmass and would consider it if there is any way you could make the trip here. We are from Michigan and are planning a trip to Detroit in October and are working on figuring out a dog sitter for that trip. We have a one-year female. It would be great to trade-out but I think are we are probably too far away from each other.
