Looking for dogsitter for 20-27th January (inclusive) (plus regular dogsitting opportunities)

We are urgently looking for a dogsitter for the 20-27th (inclusive) January so we can book a holiday :-)
Rigi is a 3 year old (15 kg) hound mix. She has normal energy levels - one decent walk is enough and is happy lying in a comfy spot for most of the day.
Rigi is well socialized and is fine with most other dogs, children and all people. She also is good on public transport, in shops and restaurants etc as we take her with us everywhere.
Rigi is a bit nervous so occasionally she is 'surprised' by a jogger, a skateboard or a scooter and will bark, so we are looking for someone who is confident handling dogs.
The most important piece of information: Rigi cannot be left alone (she is anxious and will howl). So you would need to take her with you if you go out or ensure someone is home with her. Taking her for a week therefore is a commitment but a rewarding one- she is very affectionate and there is nothing better than a Rigi cuddle. One you have won her heart she has a lot of love to give!
For the 20-27 Jan you could stay in our apartment (near Milchbuck tram) but we would prefer if she could go to your place. The rate is 70chf a day as well as any expenses (e.g. dog travel costs).
Between now and then we would want to do a couple of trials (paid) i.e one day and one overnight so that she is used to you and happy to see you, and you are used to her and there are no issues while we were away.
Though not essential for this week, it would be ideal if you were located nearby and could take her for occasional weekends or even walk her in the week (we used to have a regular dogwalker who is now unavailable).
If this interests you please get in touch! Look forward to meeting you
