Luna and Bailey

We had the pleasure of sitting for two older bigger dogs named Luna and Bailey from Aug 18 to Aug 27, 2023.  Their humans, Danielle and Caleb, were very nice and easy going.  We kept them up-to-date on a daily basis with pictures and updates while they were having their adventures in Alaska.

One of their favorite treats were ice cubes!

Luna was an 8-year old Weimeraner and Bailey was a 12-year old mixed breed.  Despite their age as larger doggies, they were in excellent condition.  That allowed us to be very active and take them for local hikes along with their daily walks.

Their home in Hillsdale had a nice little forest with a maze of trails for their daily walk.  That sat right next to a large dog park as well and so we had ample routes in which to walk with them.

Marquem Nature Park was only an 8 minute ride away and provided for nice forest hiking.  We have a very nice dog hammock for the back seat that we use when taking pets anywhere.  We can secure them safely and prevent them from falling into the foot well in the back.  They loved going for a ride.

They were very good on a leash and that made for easy hiking.  Both of them loved the hiking there.  Its nice when we can take advantage of the weather with the pets we watch!

Luna and Bailey were very food motivated.  Naturally, we adapt to the many eating routines and behaviors at each pet sit.  Some require more attention to finish meal times.  Others, like Luna and Bailey, cannot wait.  They had a special area just for their bowls at meal time that they could get up and eat on should they choose.

Even though they were high energy, they were also good snugglers during down times.  We got to spend a lot of quality time just enjoying them when we weren't doing some activity.

We enjoyed our time with them and as per our usual routine, left the house in as good or better shape than when we got there.  

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).
