Under the right circumstances, I can greysit and have done so in the past.

email me at

bpws7878@bellsouth.net

 

Your greys must be cat safe.

 

happy trails,

VANCOUVER, BC, CANADA

 

I am retired, and puppysit regularly. Double gated fenced yard, daily walks and comfy, cosy surroundings... pups are loved and treated as my own (of course :colgate ). Newcomers welcome, but must be catsafe. ;)

Rhode Island (20 mins. south of Providence)

 

No small furries here, and fenced yard. I do work 9-5, but sometimes have help with a turnout mid-day and am trying to make that more regular. I have 3 of of my own: Ringo, 11; Chickie, 9; and Bull, 8.

 

Willing to take up to 3, length of time negotiable. Would be very interested in some type of trade, as well, as I have a few days/possibly a long weekend before the end of the year when I'll be away.

 

PM me with any questions.

San Diego, CA -- small wood privacy-fenced (6 foot high) back yard, can take the occasional greyhound boarder. I'm even here for both Thanksgiving and Christmas this year.

 

No cats/small furries live here; I work from home/home all day; currently no greyhound but should be adopting before year's end (lost my 14yo in August).

 

PM me with questions

Hi,

 

I'm in NW Illinois, and can grey-sit. I have 6 dogs of my own, a 6-pack and fold down-crates if necessary. I have a fenced

dog-yard, which is surrounded by 2-1/2 fenced acres. I also have a run with 6 foot fencing and a dog door.

 

Lots of foster/dog-sitting experience, and medical care experience, too.

Any houndies need a place to stay during the Christmas & New Years holiday? We live in Fond du Lac, WI and have 3 greyhounds of our own, a fenced in back yard, no cats, no kids. Offer is only for greyhounds though.

 

Happy Holidays! :xmas:gh_lay

Folks,

If you are like many of us who want…or have to travel without your GH during certain times of the year, and just cannot stand the thought of your precious being coup up in a kennel, but would prefer a nice GH friendly home, where you know your precious will maintain their pedestal lifestyle even though you are not with them, ……then, how about we start a posting here for willing GH sitters in a centralized location?

 

If interested, please list your location of city and state, along with your email address. I like the posting of dog parks, and go back to it quite often for reference. I would hope that this will help those of us looking for sitters.

Hello All,

 

I have had my greyhound sitting business for about two years. I'm located in Summerfield, NC which is just north of Greensboro, NC. I call it "Home Away from Home Greyhound Sitting Service" and have been having a greyt time caring for my clients greys. My two love having friends to play with.

My e-mail address is twogreys2008@peoplepc.com . I have everything except food and muzzles including a large flat fenced backyard.

I am an adoption counselor with GFNC and have been since 2001.

 

Those of you in this area please keep me in mind next time you need a greyhound sitter.

 

Thanks,

Bonnie

Hi, all!

There is a possibility that I may have a contract job in Telluride, Co. for the next two and a half months :eek

I am hoping some folks from Phoenix and surrounding area may have a friend/acquaintance who would be willing to

live-in with my four greyhounds, ages 12,7,5 &4. We have a doggie door and this pack is very stable, have been together

for about a year and a half. I am currently researching the average overnight stay cost from several reputable petsitting groups and have yet to begin my salary negotiations with the employer, sooooooo.....I'll post here when details are more readily available. Just wanted to get some feedback :colgate

 

Oh, and if anyone else out there would like to escape the nasty winter ya'll are having and are in a position to stay here in the Valley of the Sun for the duration of my potential job AND get paid for it, by all means count yourself in! ;)

We will be taking a family vacation to Great Smoky Mtn National Park April 4-11. We will be bringing Ringo, our cat friendly, kid friendly greyhound with us. We have rented a pet friendly 3 bdroom cabin in Gatlinburg, TN and will bring Ringo along as much as possible, but I expect that there will be many instances when he has to stay at the cabin. I'm wondering if there is anyone in the Gatlinburg area who might be willing to greysit for several hours during the day on those days when our plans aren't dog friendly. If not, any recommendations for good doggie daycare that would be preferable to leaving Ringo home alone? He is used to staying home alone from 8:30-3:00 every weekday when we are at work, till my son gets home from school. He is confined to the kitchen at those times, but doesn't mind being crated if necessary. I just thought it would be nicer than leaving him alone in a new place. If that is the only alternative, then we'll arrange our plans so he isn't left for more than 3-4 hours at a time (and not until we've been there for a few days.)

Hello,

I'm new here. My family and I have an 8 year old male, Blaze. We are going on vacation from August 12 thru August 25. We live in Wyoming, PA., which is right between Wilkes-Barre and Scranton. There seems to be absolutely no one within 3 hours of our home that are grey knowledgeable sitters. Anybody out there with any info please HELP.

Thanks,

I'm interested in finding a greysitter for our male grey we've had for four months now. My boyfriend and I will be taking a short trip in late May and will need a sitter or grey "hotel" for probably 3 nights. I live in the southwest suburbs of Chicago and would be willing to drive a reasonable distance in order to find a good place for him for a few days.

I will watch your greys in your home, or you can bring them to mine. I have 2 greys of my own, and a large fenced-in back yard. I am also affiliated with a local rescue organization and would be happy to provide references for you--I am a foster mom for them :) I am also a teacher, so I will be off of work all summer long. No cats, and no kids--so non-cat safe are fine.

I board in my home greyhounds only. I am located a short distance from New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. I have many years of greyhound experience and am very active with our local GPA group.

 

www.greyhoundplayground.com will give you basic info. My web site is under reconstruction but pertinent info is available.
