I need a puppy sitter…..

Basenji Talk
  • NatalplumN

    I'm going away for a destination wedding from November 12th thru the 17th. I need someone with a Basenji and the knowledge of a Basenji to take care of my pup while I'm gone. I'm just not feeling the love of a professional pet sitter or boarding him at a "doggie hotel." Any suggestions or takers?

    Thanks,
    Mick's Mom, Val

    Val,

    Although I will have school during that time, I would be willing to pet sit for another basenji. I have been considering getting a friend for my basenji once he gets past his teenager period so experience sitting for another one would be helpful. The only thing would be that I would need to pet sit for your guy in my home and I live in New Bedford Mass which is probably about 5 hours from you. If you'd be willing to meet halfway (and if your guy travels well), then maybe I could help out.

    I am a bit far away and me pet sitting for Mick might be more of a pain getting him here than a help for you. If you can't however find anyone closer, then let me know. shoconnor@hotmail.com

    Pet sitters at home are good…but we have a place where dogs have like a kennel, doggie day care type of place, and its a great area to have your put learn about other dogs, other people and help him get socialized.
    I don't know if you have something like that, but check around your areas, they are bonded, have secure areas for the dogs to play and run, etc...

    Shannon~Thank you so much for the offer. You are an amazing and caring person for even offering. It means so much to me and my family. Without any hesitation you would drive half way and meet me. This alone is an amazing act. I will never forget your kindness.
    My husband's cousin has offered to take our B and he has another dog which would help.
    I knew I could count on this forum for help. I feel a special bond with all the members and I truly enjoy reading all your stories and sharing in your day to day experiences with our furbabies.
    Shannon~Thanks for your advice! I appreciate all your knowledge and experience.

    Hey no problem. Glad you could find someone you know and who is closer. That will definitely work out better for you. Have a great trip.

    @buxton-s-dad I remember tracing your boy for inclusion in the database on line and finding two further siblings from that litter. So - this morning I went back to the AKC website and discovered two more from this litter have been registered - so I have 5 in all from the 6. They will all appear this evening after I have finished entering all the incoming OFA test results !

    @lvoss: It has been raining most of the day here and L'Ox has been unenthusiastic to say the least about going outside. He has been doing really well on potty training and is starting to ask to go out but you could tell every time he actually got outside he was horrified by all the wet. So his remedy was to run to the edge of the covered porch and pee and rush back in. His dilemma was how to do the rest of his business without melting in the rain? So while I was in the kitchen gathering up the dog dishes I hear a clatter and see a little puppy butt escaping into the garage through the cat door. I follow him out there only to find him pooping near the cat's litter box. I guess I should be glad that he seems to be using his brain for good rather than evil right now. My little girl was like that but got out of the habit. She realized that going in the house was naughty (she wouldn't go on the toilet training mats we got her) and even though she hated her feet wet she went on the grass anyway and when she came inside she did the basenji thing and she licked it off her feet.

    I doubt it would work but we are about 4 hours away in Snowmass and would consider it if there is any way you could make the trip here. We are from Michigan and are planning a trip to Detroit in October and are working on figuring out a dog sitter for that trip. We have a one-year female. It would be great to trade-out but I think are we are probably too far away from each other.
