An Alternative To Kennels
What an innovative idea! Check out this new service. Petaholica just profiled it and it sounded so interesting I just had to pass it on!
Dog Swap!
With summer comes anticipation of all the great trips you have planned or would like to take. But not all are pet friendly and just wouldnt make sense logistically to bring the pet. Don’t want to leave your little one in a kennel, what to do?
Sleepover Rover is an alternative to putting your dog in a kennel. Founded by Tina a former vet hospital manager. She finds a number of host families in specific cities (currently Phx, LV, Des Moines, Tucson, LA & SD)
These host families have been screened and their homes thoroughly inspected, prospective clients get a phone interview with the possible sitter for their pet. All hosts are home full time either stay at home moms or work from home.
Here’s what it says on the Sleepover Rover site:
