So obviously with it being the kids holidays and people going off on their hols people need their piggies watched. I volunteered my services to Layla as people were asking if she knew of anyone that would watch them and I have my first "clients" arriving Sunday :) I'll be watching 2 sows for just under two weeks then another 2 at the end of August for a week. Can't believe how excited I'm actually getting about it, plus it feels nice just being able to do something to help someone out :)
 
Great idea! I wish you were a lot closer!

I am still looking for somebody piggy savvy to look after the tribe...
 
Sounds good:)

Yes Ive struggled this year as the 2 pet hotels Ive used over the past 2 years have closed, mine are booked in at a new place and the owner sounds great - very much an animal person:)

I'm taking my eldest Monty with me as cant bear to leave him and he travels well, wish I had space for them all!
 
Yeah I can imagine you finding it a bit difficult getting someone to piggy sit so many piggies! When we went away my sister house sat and watched the piggies as well and she did a really good job with them. She knows how much I dote on them so I knew I could trust her but if I didn't have her I think I'd find it difficult to find someone to watch the 5 of them and I don't think there's any boarding services in the area, plus I would imagine it would cost a fair bit.
 
HI Gems,

I am pleased you have worked something out with them I think it is reassuring for people to leave their piggies with someone who knows about piggies.

Let me know how it all goes, it is the first time I have put people in touch like this but it so far seems to be working well.

I honestly can't wait! Even thinking about going and buying my impending guests a few treats lol ( just don't tell Steven! )

Layla I'll definitely let you know how it goes, can't see there being any issues or problems though. Has it been popular then?
 
It has been quite popular. I have had about 10 people offer help - 5 north of tyne and 5 south. And I have had a similar number ask for help.

A lot of people get stuck looking for people to look after them so it is nice now to point them to someone who I know is a good guinea home.
