My cat lady has fallen off the face of the earth. I need someone that can administer fluids b/c Antigone needs fluids everyday. So I need to shorten my trip and ask my brother to take Antigone to the vet for fluids.
Also, you may find that one of the vet techs may do petsitting as a side business. Some will even stay at your house, if you're comfortable with that. Ask your vet for referrals too - they usually know who is in the area.
