Rayna

We watched Carola and Forrester's dog Rayna in Happy Valley, OR from May 28, 2023 to July 9, 2023.  It was a full 7 week sit.  Rayna was a near 10 year old full sized black poodle.  She was one of the sweetest, smartest, well-mannered dogs we have ever known.  It was a pleasure to watch her and I am sure we will do so in the future too.

We took Rayna on many hikes both locally and out into the proper forest and lots of walks in her neighborhood which had a nice network of walking trails and a field we could use to play ball with the chuckit.  She loved her ball and was a part of both of her daily walks.

Rayna was very food motivated but she was always a good girl and didn't counter surf.  She loved to snuggle and was quite good in the car too.  Being older, we had to give her an assist into the back of our SUV because it was a bit high to jump into for her now.

One of the things that really hadn't occurred to us was that we would make a lot of new friends pet sitting.  Carole and Forrester let us stay during a gap in our pet sitting schedule and we have done dinners, hiking, biking and movies with them or with Toby's humans since our sits.  We really felt at ease watching Rayna and kept Carole and Forrester updated daily with photos and doings.  We would say that we will miss Rayna but really we will see her many times again now.

Here are a couple of photos of us doing things with Carole and Forrester after our sit and with Tim and Barbara after their sit.

This was a formal Trustedhousesitter sit and our review can be found on the site but we have also added it to our reference page linked from the top post on the blog.  (contact info provided by request).
