I understand completely. My senior dog died last summer but I still have a senior cat with lots of health issues and complicated care needs. I have never kenneled my animals but when she was younger I would just have someone come in and take care of her a couple of times a day. Now I have friends stay here with her. If that were not an option I would hire a pet sitter who I know who used to be a vet tech.

Check out the pet sitting services in your area. Ask your vet, friends, doggie daycare places, etc. It is well worth the money...
