Nani Bear and CooCoo Kitty

We watched Nani Bear and CooCoo Kitty for their owner, Lisa, while she enjoyed two weeks in Mexico from April 8, 2023 to April 22, 2023.  Lisa lived around 30th and Division in inner east side of Portland, OR.

We stayed in a modern one bedroom apartment

The apartment was small but we had no problem adapting and enjoyed our sit a lot.  We had walking distance to restaurants from at least 10 different country cuisines.

Nani Bear was an English Lab and she was a gentle girl.  She was very mannered when getting ready for a walk and was good on a leash.  Lisa liked to use a retractable leash for her as she liked to do a lot of sniffing. We just adapt to whatever the routine and tools are.

We found this neat tunnel on a walk

There was an abundance of neat old neighborhoods in every direction and we explored all of them with her.  She had an amazing sense of direction which was funny because she always wanted to be going away from the apartment as she knew that if not, it meant we were heading back.  Of course, eventually we would have to turn and sometimes she would put up this funny sit down or stand off as an objection in principle. But she wasn't that dififcult and we got around those humorous times.

Clear but cold day for a walk

This was Nani Bear's favorite open area

She also knew exactly where the businesses were that we coulld get treats.  She led us to the pet store who knew her.  We did discover a neat doggie self serve treat box on one of our walks.

Our stay had unseasonably colder weather but we were prepared clothing wise and it was just fine even though it was rainging, hailing or cold some days.  But on the couple days of sunshine we took advantage of the weather and took her to the forest for some hiking.  She loved it.  We went to Powell Butte.  It is still in the city but has a good forest area and nice trails.

We made it up to the top trails at Powell Butte

She found every single side trail no matter how overgrown

CooCoo Kitty was a young cat and spent part of his time outside and part inside.  It's always a bit worrysome as pet sitters to watch cats that are outside cats because we cannot control the situation should something happen to them but she was very well mannered and would usually come when you called for her from the back area.

CooCoo Kitty was sleepy after being outside for awhile

The two got along quite well.  CooCoo Kitty liked to snuggle when she wasn't napping, eating or outside.  It was nice to have a lap kitty for this sit.

Playtime with CooCoo Kitty

Nani Bear like to chill with me on the couch

Nani was very good in the car

CooCoo Kitty liked to lay on the bed a lot

We really enjoyed our stay with them.  It was truly difficult to have to say goodbye.  We will miss them.

This was an official trustedhousesitters sit and a review is on the site and in our review post on here.
