Q: Pet Hotel / Babysitting?

I will be taking off for 10 days in late August, and I need to find a good, safe, calm (?) place to leave my cat Lucy for that time.  It's just a bit too long to leave her alone in the house and my friends are also not available to drop in....

 

Does anyone know any reputable places, where they've had GOOD experiences leaving their pet for a week or so? 

 

Pet sitters?  Vet clinics?  Pet stay?  Not sure what it'd be called, but mainly hoping for testimonials here.

Can't help for your area, but our dog has a couple of time stayed in the dog hotel. (I have no clue what they are called in China) 

The expirience. For a small dog lige ours it was OK. They (claim) walk the dog 3 times per day, although a short walk it includes going on a big patch of grass and doing the business. They can either feed "generic dog food" or you can bring your own. 

They stack the dog in small "boxes", which is OK for small dogs, but I've also seen big dogs that cannot even stand up, be in these boxes, and that is not cool. The first time our dog was in the hotel, the box next door was occupied by a cat.
The place we use is actually a pet grooming place. They have shop on first floor, pet wash/grooming in the back, 2nd floor is pet hotel and 3rd floor is the owners apartment, which I think is important, there is people there all the time. 

 

It is a sharp contrast to similar places back home. Last summer I picked up my parents Lab from one of these places. He had 15 sqr/mtr, fresh hay daily to cover half the floor. 2 hours per day of playtime with other dogs on a big field (fenched, so not on leash) and an old crazy couple of owners who seems to mostly be stressed about petting all the dogs a lot all the time. 

 

Good luck. I'd check out a couple of places first. Or find a good frined to take care of your cat.

I use a couple who have a nice business in Suzhou to board my golden retriever. My dog loves it there and is always excited when he arrives. They have a compound with several buildings and a completely enclosed very large courtyard. They don't speak English but my wife found them and handles it. If you need info, message me and I can have my wife call you. Her English is good. Oh for my dog it is 75 RMB a day.

JanShanghai:

that sounds great.  If nothing else comes up, I'll send you a PM.   Thanks!

A:That is a typical Chinese style blackmail! I wouldn't worry for the WP application expiration at all!WP application doesn't expire. It is either approved or rejected and that is known fairly fast, 2-weeks time the longest. I'd find another employer, Z visa sponsor ASAP, sign new contract and start with WP application all over again. You might also try and find out at which office your employer applied for WP and speak to them (.gov) in person. They have at least one person there, who understands and speaks English. I'd say, your employer most likely never applied for anything. Employers in China must hold an authorization certificate to hire foreigners. If an employer doesn't have such an authorization, it cannot sponsor foreigner for a Working permit and Z visa.Most language schools in China don't have such an authorization, because it's a costly thing to obtain for one ...You could also ask your employer to show you a foreign hire authorization certificate. It's an A4 format paper with text in Mandarin and several red-ish ink stamps.I've always wanted to see an employer's foreign hire authorization before I've inked the new contract. That prevented many shady deals employers in China were/are playing. See this: https://english.www.gov.cn/services/liveandworkinchina There are two web links on the bottom. Send them a message and find out, if that Chinese state org. can advise and help you. Good luck! -- icnif77
