My friend was wanting to come to Portland and stay for over a month. She found this service that places you in a home free of rent in exchange for pet sitting . Its for people that want to travel and stay rent free. I know she had to go threw a background check . It would be a bit scary to just have a stranger come stay. It worked out fine for the woman who had my friend come because she is an honest pet loving person.

Did you find something that will work out?

Nothing as of now, but we are keeping our fingers crossed...

It sounds like you have some good possibilities already. I would also like to recommend Rover.com, which is a national (U.S.) organization, to find pet sitters in your area. Most will do it in either your home or theirs. I have found several good people in my area who I have checked out and used for pet sitting and daycare. This way Benjamin has been able to get used to them in case I need to make quick arrangements for overnight boarding some time, and he will not need to stay in a strange place. I think Rover does a great job of screening people, and everyone I have met so far has seemed very friendly and responsible. It can be pricey, but I would imagine that people would be willing to make a deal for a long term stay. Good luck!

Posibilly posting within a radius from where you live with -for a hav family. Maybe you could trade off.
I have/am going through a similar situation.
Seems like if people do not have dogs-they are not interested. If they do have dogs-whether our Hav will fit in is questionable.
Just shows- we gotta stick together
