I have a responsible pet sitter come in (a business). I think it's less stressful for the pet to stay at home.

I use to house my late dog in a kennel. She got fleas so bad, it was months before we got her cleared up. I would not do that again. However, I like the idea of personalized care for my pet. I would definitely use this service if it was available in my area. This is the same concept of having a friend come in and care for your dog or keeping it at their house. I'm all for it.

It does sound a lot better than being housed in a kennel. The owners and sitters could establish a relationship & the dog could get the best of both worlds.

I dont know how I feel about a complete stranger being in my house or my pet being with a complete stranger.

I think the service is great.For the animals and people alike.A lot of senior citizens can gain lost feeling of worth and satisfaction by having a purpose again and someone who counts on them.

We've always had cousins stop by and feed and play with our dogs while we are on vacation but this sounds great. I think I'd even want to take in other peoples animals and watch them.

I think that is sweet, it's like doggie babysitting. And it would do a world of good for a lonely person/senior.

I love this idea. Of course, it would depend on the individual dog's personality. Please let us know when it reaches the east coast. If my regular kennel is full, this would be a good alternative.

My dogs don't work well with other dogs outside their circle. Open play times scare them. Any way, it's probably extremely expensive. I'm happy with the doggy place we go to and so are my dogs.

Would be good for anixous dogs who don't do well boarding and for people for don't know anyone trustworthy to help out.

I think this sounds like a great idea. I have pet sited before and loved it. I even potty trained a dog for someone too. I have also fostered Mama and kittens for the shelter.

I always suggest to people that they really look into anyone that is going to care for the pets or children. We always have people that come into our shelter looking for pet sitters which is a great idea instead of trying to ask neighbors who may not care for your animal.

Yes, though neighbors mean well, they may not be the best at follow through or provide good care. They should be checked out too, you never know!

As with any daycare or overnight boarding, you should check the situation out thoroughly. I know someone who has dogs stay at her home as she is awesome.

I dont think I could leave my dog at a stranger's house, that would be too weird.

I'm sorry. This idea is totally unacceptable to me. I do not want strangers having access to my computer and sleeping in my bed.

It dies seem to have a good setup, with screening the sitters, and I am not a big fan of the kennel situation. I'd much rather have one person responsible for my dogs than a group who "doesn't know how" the dog got hurt at the kennel.

I would love a program like that where I am from. It would have to be ery very strict screening though. Plus I would want to see them enteract with my pets several times before I left them anywhere

I think I've found my new post-retirement job! I would be interested in their screening techniques as I would be very, very picky about who gets to stay with my pups.

We always have a friend come and stay at our house. One who knows the dogs well and they listen too. But I could see this service working. The sitters are screened so that is a plus. I am sure they do background checks and stuff.

Might be a good thing for folks who are new in town.

We have "Uncle" Ted who comes and stays at our house. He is a good friend and the dogs love him. A housesitter is a must. But for somebody who might be new to an area and not know anybody to trust, I could see this as a good service.

I agree that having your pet stay in his own environment is less traumatizing for them, however, not sure how I would feel having a stranger stay in my home.

Good idea, but yeah, that's not much screening. I foster dogs for a shelter ... of course, it would be easier if one of my dogs weren't such a brat. I have to screen pretty carefully before I bring other dogs home!

It is good that they go through screening process so that only certain dogs stay with people who understand that breed and can handle them.Better be careful though-you are liable to have some people just dump dogs off on you.

Neat idea, but I leave my animals at home and have responsible friends care for them and in return I care for their pets when they go away. A win win situation for us and them.Plus its free.

I think that it is a great service. I have informally done it on my own. One of my coworkers stays with my dogs when I go on vacation. I think alot of vet techs will also house sit if you ask them.

I think it is a great idea. The owner can travel knowing that their pets are safe. The people who provide the care can earn a few extra dollars.

This in an interesting idea. With the number and type of pets I have, having someone come into my home would be a lot easier on my pets and myself. It's good that they screen people that are carrying for the pets.

I definately think this is the way to go. Several years ago my husband and I had moved to a new town. Shortly afterwards, he had to go in the hospital that was too far away for me to travel back and forth to from home. I put her in a kennel that I knew nothing about, only because there wasn't enough time for me to research,. When I picked Bubba up a week later which was a few days earlier than I had told them I would pick her up, I had to wait in the lobby about forty-five minutes before they brought her out to me. I sat waiting wondering what was going on. I was horrified! She had not been brushed the entire week, and she had been shedding. She was glassey eyed. Could barely stand up. She didn't recognize me and had obviously been drugged. They had told me they had no trouble with her and she had been happy! I was too angry at the time to say anything but I went back later and gave them a piece of my mind. I figured if they would lie to me about one thing they would lie to me about anything. So yes, If you can get someone to care for your pet in your home, give them a hug. Everyone will be happier.

I think this is a great service bit I believe it should be used only when owners travel. Why do people need it for day care? Lots of dogs stay at home alone during the day!
