We cared for a 3-year-old male corgi (Finnigan) and an 18-year-old male cat (Tali) in a 3-story family home. This assignment was rather simple for us since they had automatic feeders. We walked Finnigan every day on his usual route and played multiple rounds of fetch to exhaust his high energy! Tali's energy was completely different - we spent time scratching his chin and petting. Additionally, we kept the family's normal routine of watering the plants and being present for the twice-weekly housekeepers and Tali's groomer. We enjoyed our time with these sweet animals. The family's flight schedule was almost delayed by a day, but we built in a buffer day for that reason and could still care for the pets an extra day, but in the end their planned flight went as scheduled. Overall, everything went quite smoothly! We were asked to come back and we would love to!

This was a very last-minute housesit. We happened to have availability when we saw a post about someone urgently needing a housesitter, so we spoke with Rosie that evening and booked a bus and ferry over to her place for the following day. We spent a wonderful three weeks with her two dogs and cat. Every morning, we all walked to the beach and back for about 1.5 hours where we joined their dog friends and their owners in picking up trash. Mealtime was cooked rice and chicken and we fed the cat as instructed. In the evening, we took the dogs on another walk around the neighborhood. We kept in close communication with Rosie and managed the handover to bring the dogs to her friend's home for the remaining week because we already had committed to another housesit prior - this was all agreed upon before our arrival. We loved these special pets and hope to see them again!
