Hi! Best to seek advice from animal welfare organisations in your area - eg rspca, blue cross, pdsa, local vets, your local council's Animal Welfare staff. Someone should be able to give you good advice. You should get a good feed back from these people regarding recommendations for genuine dog/house sitters etc or licensed kennels/ home boarders. They will be able to advise you on the best option to keep your pet safe and happy for the duration of your absence.
