It used to be that when pet owners disappear on holiday, they would leave their pets using a neighbour, relative or friend, or having a kennel service. However, many families usually do not live close to each other and kennels can be quite expensive while not necessarily providing a happy atmosphere for pets. Thus, a new service business of pet sitting and pet walking arrives.

My husband and I had the unfortunate connection with having to care for a pet while her owners went away for a holiday. The very first night, we both forgot that we had the dog, and left our entry way open. It was not until 4 hours later than we remembered i was caring for the dog, coupled with to have a search party. Luckily, we found your new puppy. She had wandered away to the neighbour's yard, and was crying. Your new puppy felt so lonely while sticking to us, and wouldn't eat for the first two days. After our valiant efforts in entertaining her and giving her plenty of pats and talk, she finally started and felt comfortable.
