    PawSpot.com - Find A Pet Sitter Among Friends

    What happens to Fido dearest or little, finicky Fluffy when the family goes away on vacation? Are they shipped off to the kennel or handed off to the reluctant neighbors? Do you fret away those precious last minute packing moments making desperate phone calls to friends and family? Rather than partake in all that sturm and drang, take a gander at PawSpot. This is a community for pets and their owners whose main aim is to coordinate pet sitting.

Instead PawSpot invites you and your friends to join so that you can easily coordinate and take turns minding the pets. The site also features pet play dates, whereby anyone can request some playtime with other pets on the site. And what would a pet site be without photos? There are tons of cuddly, cute snapshots for pet enthusiasts to grin at. Additional nifty features include bulletins, profiles, expert advice, park descriptions, and discussion forums.
