Suggestion for finding pet and house sitting services
Around Town, posted by jack tripper, a resident of the Green Acres neighborhood, on May 29, 2007 at 11:16 am

Hello,

We are looking for pet and house sitting services and would really like the person/business to be local, but can't seem to find a centralized place online to find such services. We'd greatly appreciate it if you can give us suggestions. Thank you.

Are you talking dog sitter? I use someone I trust 100% who "sits" dogs in her own home. Worked for the SPCA, absolute dog lover, responsible etc. Not sure if she would move into your home to do it, though.

If that is appealing, I will ask her how you can contact her. I doubt posting her number online would be ok!

Hello,

Yes, I'd greatly appreciate if you can let me know how I can contact her. My email address, if it helps, is 1jacktripper at gmail. Thank you very much.

Sorry, I have been out of town and didn't check back in the last few days. I will pass on your e-mail to her.

Try the Pet Care Network of Silicon Valley (siliconvalleypetcare.com), they are a group of licensed, bonded pet sitters who are also also members of the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters.

I am going to be a Traveling Nurse at Stanford. Is there any housesitting opportunites by the hospital? Beginning August 23.

I am and RN living by myself with no pets. I am very responsible, clean and honest.

Thank you

Hi,

I am relocating to Palo Alto. I have great references but I do have a small pet too, that I adore. I would help you with a pet too. For how long do you need it?

I read that you need someone that is local, but if you would like to consider it, I would be open to talk more about it.

If you would like to contact me my email is womanofavalon@live.com.

I am originally from Brazil but Ihave been working and living in ALABAMA for the last, almost 7 years. I divorced and I want to move to Palo Alto where I have friends. Thank you!

Your Question: "Where can we find a centralized place to locate pet sitting services".

ANSWER: Try "Yelp"
