Do you know what, bytheway, I nearly set up a business in our seaside town this summer looking after holidaymakers' dogs while they went for meals out and on the beach (where dogs aren't allowed)! It is a real problem for them, I know exactly what you mean.
I think this is an excellent idea. I live in a seaside town which won't allow dogs on the beach in summer. I often see one member of a family sitting on the prom with the dog whilst the rest of the family are playing on the sand. On wet days people could do indoor activities knowing their dog is safe and happy with you. We have a NT castle nearby who won't let dogs in too. You would do well I'm sure.
Thank you Scones. So many people this year had to book self catering properties with their dogs in tow it is a real dilemma for them if they want a few hours out without the pet. You aren't supposed to leave them home alone in the properties for obvious reasons, so an hourly rate pet carer would be great.
The thing that put me off doing it was all the paperwork and hoops I would probably have to jump through. I might approach the local holiday cottage companies to leave a card in the houses.
