Every week a Guardian Money reader submits a question, and it’s up to you to help him or her out – a selection of the best answers will appear in next Saturday’s paper.

We’re a couple in our 50s and my partner wants a dog. My concern is that we go on holiday abroad three times a year, so the cost of kennelling/doggy day care/pet sitters will be enormous. How do others solve this problem?
