Jerry--best to make those reservations at Park n Fly ASAP, as they sell out!
Regarding September closings, most Dutch side places stay open regardless. More French side restaurants close than Dutch side restaurants.

September is the worst month for hurricanes, so many restaurant owners leave the island during that time. Summer is always busy with European visitors so they need to stay open.

Curious as to what kind of rate you got for the Park/Sleep/Fly package. When I have looked at them in the past, the cost for the parking portion of the stay has been astronomical.
As far as pet sitters, we have been extremely lucky over the years in that respect, as we had family close for a long time and since arriving here in Florida, we have had only two long time pet sitters. If it were ME, I would feel very uncomfortable about using someone just off the internet. I might perhaps contact my vet and ask if they have any of their employees that do pet sitting, or ask them for a recommendation.

Jerry--that's not bad. We normally stay about 10-11 days, and the parking has been like $10 a day on top of the hotel.
Oh, for sure, our "kids" stay at home when we go away and they are happier than being boarded. We have never boarded any of ours, except for our first dog, who had to have insulin shots. I am somewhat surprised that the vet didn't have any actual recommendations for specific pet sitters. Best wishes!
