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.

    • Yup. At best I have people who detest Trump shrugging and saying something like “what ya gonna do?” Like that is any kind of answer what we gonna do is condemn, and watch out for same happening here - and watch out for all the handmaidens who would allow this to happen.  Apologists for Farage, Jenrick etc 
    • There are plenty of Jewish people on these marches, who have every right to stand up and say not in our name. A Jewish bloc attends every single one: https://jfjfp.com/voices/jjp-at-the-gaza-demonstrations/ Jewish peoples lives are being made less safe by this war, as we recently saw in Manchester and in the clear increase in antisemitism. They want to see Peace, and this will only happen with justice for the Palestinians. Most have - within living memory - members of their families who have been murdered by an authoritarian regime. They know what they are seeing and why they are marching. Calling going on march 'indulging in Jew hatred' is just ridiculous. You've clearly never been on one. Engage your critical faculties and think about why these marches are being smeared, rather than spouting what the right wing press and home secretary tell you.
