OMG I did not relies how hard it is to find someone to look after my dog when I am at work. All there have too do is sit with him and watch tv. There don't have to walk him. People only what to cleaver the holiday time.

Have you considered that it might actually be a more attractive job if they were going to get out and about?  How many hours are they going to be at your home?
I know if I was going to be just sat on my backside I would rather have an office job or even sat at a check out for the social interaction and interest.

THe option for the dog to go to the sitter's house is no doubt more valuable.

Might be more interesting for the dog as well :) :) Our dogs find it very strange if we sit in our sitting room during the daytime. They'd far rather that we were doing our 'normal' chores etc where they can follow us around and join in :) :)

Of course!  The only time I have worked full time since owning dogs was during my nurse training 20 odd years ago.  It was shifts of course (not college based back in those days :)) so it only occurred a couple of times a week that we were both out all day.  We employed a cleaner who loved dogs. :)
We were happy with the early morning and evening walks and we came home to a clean house and contented creatures.  Win win. So the OP may wish to consider that if they really don't want someone walking their dogs.

Stooge, yhat is such an incredibly good idea!! And cleaners are cheaper than dog sitters in my area. I will definitely store this up for the future.
