We've had house sitters in the past who have taken care of the house and cats. This time we would like to see how well our dog does with a sitter by trying a short sit. She is a large breed 10 year old who likes three or 4 short walks a day, maybe a mile each, followed by treats and attention. You would need to arrive by noon on May 5 so we could go over needs and stay until about 3 or 4 on May 8. The cats will need tending, too.
