Ever since our regular pet boarding contact stopped her business last year, we have not been able to find a good replacement for our cats to stay in whenever we go on holiday.
During our last holiday trip, we had no choice but to place our cats at a friend's pet grooming center (all dogs only!) for almost 2 weeks. Poor kitties! They were so stressed up by the strange dogs' smell and their constant barking that they hardly ate and both were in constant alert mode. It was really heart-pain to see them shrunk under their pillows in the cage. Never will we put them through that again. But we still have to thanks the crew at the dog grooming center, they really did take effort to play and care for the two Ds.
Taking a look on the web you can find plently contacts for dog homestay or dog/pet sitting. However, there are not much services for cats homestay. Calling these strangers is also pretty daunting time for me especially in trying to establish if they are good enough for me to take time to visit the place before putting the deposit. A call to a supposed pet boarding company turned out to be a male escort service!!! He even had the cheek to sms me to tell me he is a male escort and if I needed company, I can look for him!! What a joke!!!
In the end, I came across two sites and having spoke to the two ladies, I think I will be willing to put our cats with either one of them. If you are also looking for pet sitter/pet boarding, you might want to try them. They are both certifiate groomers as well which is an added bonus I feel.
