658.0. "BONDED BIRD SITTER" by GENT::TINA () Wed Feb 05 1992 09:07

    I have check the file for notes about 'bird sitters'.  I found two
    notes 182 and 197.  Someone named Steve recommended a place named
    'Critter Camp'.  
    
    Questions:
    Is this place still in business? and does anyone have further
    recommendations about the business?
    
    and
    
    I would prefer to have someone stay at my house to 'sit' as I
    have a cat, rabbit, fish, a red lored amazon, and two 'tiels.
    Does anyone know of a person who 'sits' with pets at the pet's house?
    I would feel much better about this situation as 
    - there would be no chance of contacting disease
    - there would be less stress than there would in a new environment
    - and i could have all the pets and my house sitted at once
    
    in 'bird talk' the also talk about having a 'bonded' sitter.
    is there any available around here?
    
    I live in South Grafton, Massachusetts.
    My node is AIRG::TINA. My DTN 296-5771.
    
    I am willing to pay a reasonable rate for such services.
    
    Thanks for any information.  t

    Act quick before schools close for the summer ...
    
    	Call your local high school and ask if they have any
    	young people such as a 4-H club that might provide
    	such a pet-sitter service.
    
    	Another place to check might be the local church - and
    	the local Boy Scout Troop ...
    
    Trick is to find some youngster who is _reliable_ in your area!
