Hi again,

I need a friendly, reliable pet sitter to look after my cat for the week of July 4th (most likely July 2nd to the 6th or 7th). I will be in the Caribbean for the summer and my husband has to go up to North Florida; If anyone has any experience with someone in particular, I would appreciate the reference...just need a daily (or even every other day...she is a cat, after all...plus, she is afraid of people she doesn't know!) visit, food, water, litter box attended to.

Thank you for suggestions!

You might want to ask your vet if they have boarding. Then people would play with the cat a few times a day. If they don't offer boarding services, maybe they know of reliable pet sitters.

Good Luck!

I agree that your vet may be able to recommend someone. That's what I did when we moved to Lakeland, and a nice young woman who worked there took care of our kitties when we would leave town.

Haven't found anyone here in north Sarasota yet.

Thanks! I don't have a vet for her yet since she went for her annual checkup in October down in the Caribbean (before flying up). I will do some checking around...just hoped someone had good experiences on the forum.
