   Hi Folks - I know there are a lot of great pet sitters out there who will visit during the day, but we really need someone who can stay at our house OVERNIGHT with our 3 small dogs and one cat while we are gone on vacation. They do not board well and 2 of them are too old.

   This would be perfect for someone looking to pick up some extra cash and loves to cuddle on the couch with small dogs. It\'s an easy gig - no walks - just bathroom breaks, feeding and TLC.

   We have budgeted $300 for 8 days - must be someone reliable and trustworthy - these are our babies!! Our house is quiet, near Westwood Village, and has all the TIVO/Satellite channels you could want for easy entertainment:)

   Please respond to this post if you are interested.

   I have a friend here at work who is a professional house/pet sitter. I will ask her if she is free, as she\'s often \"booked\" well in advance. If you want to email me with the approximate dates you\'ll be gone I will happily help. (Don\'t post them here. Since this forum is viewable by anyone, I don\'t want to encourage any hijinx while you\'re gone!) I can be reached at aimgrrrl at gmail dotcom.

   We have a sitter who is very sweet with our dog and son and might be free then. Emailing her a copy of your note, let me know how she can contact you at deb_n at yahoo dot com.

   You might want to think about your budget. Pet sitters normally charge $15 and up per visit (half-hourish) and you\'re asking for someone to stay overnight in your home, which provides added security. 8 days of normal pet sitting would run at least $360 if you had three visits daily. And this would be cheaper than boarding 4 pets.

   You may be able to find someone you really trust to live in your home for 8 days for $300. If you go with a professional, you\'ll likely have to spend more.

   Hi Folks - thanks for all the responses. We have now found someone who will sit for us during our vacation; however, I have written down the names you have provided in the event something falls through.

   Happy Summer Vacation to all:)
