We want to take the children abroad, Easter holidays or May half term, but have no family to watch our larger dog, Bella. I don’t want to put her in a kennel for a week she’d be upset and cold and wonder where we’d gone. It seems too harsh. She’s very much a family member so she needs to be in a home. She’s fairly good with recall. Knows basic commands. Excellent with kids and other dogs but never been cat tested
