Looking for someone to look after our guinea pig

Hi,


We are going away for 4 weeks in August and im desperately trying to find someone who can take care of our very hungry Guinea pig. Anyone know someone who looks after small furries? Perhaps you're thinking of getting a guinea pig and would like to foster ours to see how you get on??? We would supply all his food and bedding.


Gins isn't the most entertaining pet, he loves to eat and well thats about it. He can be handled and probably could do with a bit more interaction than he is currently receiving.


Ideas, suggestions and recommendations gratefully received.

You could look into Trusted Housesitters [www.trustedhousesitters.com]. I came across them in a Cats Protection magazine at the Neighbourhood Vet (see attached for article). I am just about to use them for the fist time - have met my house/pet sitter already.
Ah, that's the thing - you and the housesitter both pay an annual subscription and then they sit for free! It is a mutual exchange of free accomodation for looking after pet/s and watering the garden if needed. Also there is access to a vet advice line included in the subs. There are some housesitters who seem to pretty much travel the world with freelance jobs/businesses that can be run from anywhere. If you find a sitter who would like to ask to sit you can, otherwise you answer responses to your post. There are a lot of sitters based in the UK, but also from all over the world.

If you're happy for someone just to come in daily and feed him and give him a bit of a run around then you could try www.thecatsitter.co.uk

She's local and although we've not used her ourselves, friends have (for their cats) and said she was good.

    • I’m currently conducting exploratory research into menstrual health education in UK secondary schools and would really value the insight of PSHE leads, Heads of Year, or pastoral staff.    The research aims to understand:   How the menstrual cycle is currently taught within the RSHE framework Where schools feel confident — and where there may be gaps Whether students are taught and  asking questions around the full menstrual cycle, symptoms, wellbeing and conditions such as PMS/PMDD or endometriosis How schools support students in feeling empowered to understand their bodies and seek help appropriately Whether education around nutrition, lifestyle, and menstrual wellbeing is currently addressed   The long-term goal is to explore whether there is a need for additional, age-appropriate, medically informed support on the menstrual cycle.  I’m not selling a programme and there is no obligation beyond a 30 minute informal chat online (Unpaid). All conversations will be confidential and used only to inform the research. If you work in a UK secondary school and would be willing to share your perspective, I would be extremely grateful to hear from you. Please comment below or email me [email protected] Thank you for the vital work you do. Best wishes, Emma       
    • Nice topic and nice song!  1) Definitely top of Canonbie, looking North. 2) What used to be Francesca Cabrini school at the top of FHR. 3) Honor Oak playground, next to Camberwell New cemetery.
