Josie

Sometimes we do short pet sits when our schedule allows it and we have a gap between the longer ones.  We sat for David and Diane in Vancouver, WA from October 13 - 15, 2023.  They had a 4-year old labradoodle named Josie that we got to love on for a few days.

Josie was such a sweet girl.  She has some medical issues.  She gets seizures and has some skin hot spots.  Our time was short and although we were instructed on what to do for a seizure, this wasn't her cycle time and we didn't have to implement any of that with her.

Instead, we took her for two walks per day.  The morning walk she got to do her sniffing and exploring and the afternoon walk we did a proper couple of miles.  Their neighborhood was gorgeous and there were an abundance of trails through a park and even up to the university.

Josie had a few supplements to add to her eating routine which was fairly easy to do.  We enjoyed our short stay there.  As we use our SUV at all of our sits, we were also able to give David and Diane a ride to and from the airport, saving them some money on an Uber service.

Review: "Jeanne and Ed were wonderful dog/house sitters, and warm, caring, thoughtful, gracious, and interesting people. They were kind enough to give us a ride to and from the airport, and our pup hardly seemed to notice when we left, she was already so comfortable with them. They gave her 2 walks a day, one at her sniffing pace, and another 2 miler, along with all the snuggles and love she could handle. Don't hesitate to host them if you can get into their schedule!"  (This was a formal Trustedhousesitters sit and the information can be found on the app.  Reference contact provided upon request)

Oby

We did a Trustedhousesitter sit for Oby, a 4-year old labrodoodle.  Nate and Steven, Oby's humans, had a wonderful home in the Multnomah area of Portland, OR and we sat for them from September 23 to October 6, 2023.  We came the evening before and stayed overnight so we got the opportunity to go through the routine first hand and get ourself introduced to Oby.  Nate and Steven were nice enough to let us stay the evening that they arrived back home so that we could do our 8-hour drive into Washington the following day.

Oby was a wonderful dog to sit for.  He was happy, smart, energetic and lived to chase his ball!  I would eventually have to say "ball tired" and give him a rest sometimes during the day.  We got to explore a natural area right by the house that had several hiking trails and Oby loved going for a hike each day.

Oby was an excellent passenger in our SUV too.  He was real relaxed and got in and out without any excitement.  Nate and Steven made it easy to take care of the house.  We had everything we needed for the stay and, as always, left it in as good or better as we started.

We really enjoyed our stay with Oby and hope we can do it again.

Review:  "Ed and Jeanne were amazing. They took care of our home and dog for two weeks, and they were clean, responsive and reliable. We can’t recommend them highly enough!" This was a formal Trustedhousesitter sit and the review can also be found on the app.
