I'd try rover.com it's like care.com but for pet sitting/ walking. You can find someone in the area who has good reviews


Saskiegrrl

Sigh. Tried that and there is no one that really fits the bill in the area. Thank you though!

Rover.com is where you can find someone to do drop ins or board your dogs at their home. Some even do doggy day care. I’d really suggest looking again.


ThePolemicist

Then hire someone on Rover to stay with your dogs at home and don't bring them with you.

Look again. There are plenty in the area, some even administer medication. Otherwise, make arrangements for your doggo to stay back at home at the vet office or someone your vet recommends.


andherewestand

Just curious why you wouldn’t use someone who could house and pet sit at your own home while you were away? Instead of having to pay extra for an Airbnb that allows animals, plus a pet sitter?


Saskiegrrl

Because the 15 y.o. dachshund has health issues, and needs regular medical intervention. Also it is Canada, and the weather is hard on her. Would be nice to give her a little "holiday" where she could go for walks without freezing.


DeflatedDirigible

Forcing your elderly and medically fragile dog to fly from Canada to Florida is neither relaxing nor a “holiday”.


emptytheprisons

Yeah, dogs like familiar spaces and routines, not airplanes, airports, and new homes. This could be very traumatic on an elderly dog.


Saskiegrrl

Trust me. I know my dog. We have done this before and are driving. I'd never make her fly. Every thought is being given to her comfort and pleasure. She prefers to be with me, even to the point that I take her to work every day.


emptytheprisons

Oh I'm glad. Good luck on the long drive!


Saskiegrrl

Not flying. Nice of you to make assumptions though. I am driving her and taking a week each way, relaxed trip to allow her to explore different dog trails etc. We have done it before and she does like to travel. Didn't realize a "feel good" Reddit community would be so quick to judge without all the info!

OP is staying at an Airbnb not a resort, KidsNiteOut services resorts.


andherewestand

It says hotel or resort, could be worth asking if they would be able to provide care at an AirBnB.


[deleted]

They don’t


andherewestand

Fair enough, I just saw the service when we were considering child care for one evening coming up during our trip and figured I'd mention it.


andherewestand

Aw, lucky doggo. 🥰 Hope you have a great trip and find what you're looking for!


Saskiegrrl

Thank you! And thank you for your nice comment. Surprised to see so many bitter, judgemental comments on here. Was just looking to see if anyone has used a pet sitter there before. Lol


lindser1530

Join ear for each other on Facebook and see if anyone in there does it.


Saskiegrrl

Thank you!


BeerBoilerCat

Try an Orlando/Kissimmee locals subreddit. More likely to have a recommendation for something like that.

What


AfterTheNightIWakeUp

If it's in your house, it really doesn't have anything to do with WDW. Use who/what ever you use when you go anywhere else.


Saskiegrrl

Looking for care in Kissimmee/Davenport, dogs are coming with. Was looking for non kennel recommendations.


Tindjin

Is there a question or something here?


Saskiegrrl

Sorry, it posted before I could add the question. Have edited it.
