I (Lianne) planned a trip with my parents around SE Asia, Nov-Jan. The pet parent, Leandri, welcomed my parents to join on this 3-week housesit. It was a win-win for us and the dogs because it helped relieve some of their anxiety around new people. These dogs are young, energetic, and sweet puppies and must be handled with care since they are anxious and reactive. Leandri put in a lot of effort training them, so we were careful to maintain their consistent routine. This cheeky duo tried to push boundaries for us sitters. While we spoiled them with love, we didn't let them slip! (Yes that means no jumping on the bed, Nala.) The first night they were terrified of us and barked a lot; I was worried they wouldn't like us. However by the second day, we gained their trust. They were always by my side and loved cuddles. As asked, I drove Leandri's car to the park for long walks every weekend. I was nervous to drive in Bangkok, but it ended up being okay. Leandri's flight was delayed by two days unexpectedly, but I was able to rearrange my plans to stay with the dogs for the extra time. It's important to consider situations like this and be prepared for such incidents. We like these dogs so much we visited Leandri and the dogs several times since leaving the housesit and will be back for a 2nd housesit soon with Adam next time.
