In the above info, it seemed nice the fee is annual… no concerns about multiple/long trips (except of course finding somebody to fill the specified slots).
My friends said that they leave a basket for the pet sitter, with some food (and wine) items and local information. A petsitter mentioned to them that there is sometimes also a small stipend, so they also leave some cash or local gift card.
After all the WONDERFUL tips, suggestions, etc. - change in plans! We are now going to DUBLIN (for a variety of reasons, not worth going into)! Any suggestions/info, especially surrounding lodging (guessing an Airbnb, apartment, etc. is best for family of 5 adults) is welcome! I so appreciate the collective wisdom/experience here! Thanks again!
Oh, Dublin is lovely. We did a bus tour of Ireland starting there, and we regret not having more than just one night in Dublin. We’d like to go back, so I’ll be watching this thread (or a new one, if you want Dublin in title).
