Wow, glad you all made it out safely!

How many dogs do you have? When I had 3 dogs, it made sense to have the pet sitter because it was more than $20/dog to board them at the kennel. Now that I only have one dog, it makes no financial sense to pay $60/day for the pet sitter, but it's so easy (no dropoff or pickup). Also, since my dogs lately have been elderly with high-maintenance health issues, my favorite kennel (where the dogs sleep on couches and run and play with other dogs all day) doesn't want to deal with them.
