Your experience having guests take care of your pet?

Our dog is a cancer survivor and as such she needs to take certain meds twice a day. Thus far, we’ve discovered she takes her meds willingly when we put her pills in croissant bites. Because of her medical condition, we are afraid to leave her with guests who may either not understand or forget the importance of her medical needs.

We’re planning to go out of the country for two weeks in February, and are concerned about having people take over the house and caring for our pet.

What has anyone’s experience been in situations like this?

I’d never leave my dog with people I don’t know. They’re probably wonderful people, but if you don’t know this to be 100% true, leave your dog with a trusted friend or dog sitter.
