Dear Fur Collective, We had a great ferret sitter back in VA who came into our home when we were gone to run, water, and feed our critters. I found it to be a much better solution than boarding the kids. It seemed whenever we boarded them they would lose weight, be very stressed, smelly, and unhappy. Well, now that we live in the Metro Denver Region (Westminster right close to the Arvada border) we have started our quest for a new sitter when we're on trips. Our last one was bonded and carried insurance. Any advice on good services and/or what service providers to avoid? Thanks! Matthew and Paula in CO with Sherlock and P.B.
