We're going to America for three weeks in April and wouldn't you know it - my usual pet sitter has broken her ankle.  The next person on the list can't do it either, so I called the JSPCA who put me on to a pet sitting company who I have left a message with and I'm waiting for a call... and because I'm getting a bit desperate now I also left a message with one of my vets who lives locally to see if he might be able to do it or know someone who can.  |

Perhaps I can come to Jersey and look after them for you! LOL.
Good luck!

I spoke to one of my vets and he says some of his nurses moonlight as pet sitters. Two of them live locally apparently so he's putting a memo around to see if anyone wants to do it.
In other news, we've been in contact with one particular pet sitting company who seem rather good. She's due to call back to speak to me personally (she spoke with mother-in-law before) so watch this space...

Mr Meggiepiggy (my daddy-o) has cousins down here too.  You could have walked around our woodland and sat by our lake. If we didn't live here we'd go here for our holidays! I spoke with the pet sitting company and they sound great. The lady is really nice and I think I'll get along with her. They're coming to meet us and the animals on Monday 17th, so I'll let you know how it goes. |

Yes, I feel the same about my place! Mmm, we could do one of those house swap holidays and feed each others guinea pigs at the same time.....

Not a bad idea, I'd take feeding two piggies over 27 any day!!!  Well I met the pet sitter yesterday and Simon and I both think she's great. We liked her so much she's getting the house key to do the chinchilla and Hairy too. She's coming up the morning we leave for holiday to collect my "manual" as she calls it after I told her I tend to leave loads of instructions.  Problem solved!!!  |

I spoke too soon!  The pet sitting for most of them is sorted, but now Mr Smallweed needs at least two weeks worth of antibiotics which means I'm asking my friend if she can take Mr S and his friend home with her for three weeks too. I hope she says yes! On top of that, my Number One Vet is having an operation at the end of the month and will be away with his leg in plaster for six weeks!!!! So now I have to give the pet sitter and my friend details of my other favourite vets instead. Nightmare!!!!!!! |

As long as you told them they were going to have a nice holiday they'll enjoy themselves ;D Just don't you worry about them - they'll party every night and trash the place by dawn |

Well we've had Ivy in the kitchen for the last two weeks, and now we only get it in the ear from Hairy so it's really quiet.  I keep going to the kitchen sink and expecting to get Ivy's nose in my face. As for Higgs and Mr Smallweed, I'm glad I'm not doing Mr S's hibiscrub now because he hates that but I really miss them both. I'm going to have to be torn away from the rest of them on Monday! |
