Dogs that were fine in crates with other dogs crated next to them are not always happy to be crated on their own. My current boy had been very good in his crate for three years, but with 4 or 5 other breathing bodies close to him. In new surroundings at our house, he found the crate intolerable and ripped up everything inside it, while working himself into a frenzy. Even with a nice meaty bone, we found it impossible to leave him for any length of time. (we did not crate him when we were home) We weren't long working on leaving him loose, and except for a very few incidents he has not abused our trust….....in fact, he is the best Basenji I have had in terms of not destroying things. Interestingly, he is fine if we go out for a few hours, giving him a roller ball with treats as we exit. He is less happy if we are outside where he can see us. He wants to be where we are, which is not always possible, e.g. if one is mowing the lawn, blowing snow, etc.
Walker needed in San Diego (La Mesa)

Hi - I have to go out of town July 22-24 and I need someone to come to my house to take my 8yo out for a walk in the am and pm. She's very sweet, but needs her walks! Normally my roommate does it when I travel, but he'll be out of town too. I have someone else staying with us, so my girl will get fed, I just need someone willing to go for 2 30 minute walks on Tues, Wed, and Thurs (just the morning walk on Thurs). Please let me know what you'd charge. Thank you very much!

Hey Lori,
I can't make it out there those days but I have a friend who has a pet sitting service (Fetch Pet Care - "We've Got Your Tail Covered"
). You can email her at fetchmetro at gmail dot com - she generally covers downtown but she may have someone out that way. She's great with Fiji. -

Yes it is. The first link is to my friend that has the downtown area - looks like the second link is to Inland SD area, and Lisa gives Gina and her partner very high marks.
