I have several trips but the first one is Oct 17-21. I need someone who can stay overnight at the house, but you wouldn't have to be at the house all day. You would need to check in with the boys every couple hours. One is a tiny 13 1/2 yr old blind and deaf yorkie who needs carried most places. Our second is a dachshund that is almost a year old. There's plenty more I could tell you, but does this seem like it's doable for you?
