Pranburi, Thailand with Yolo and Lola

3/9/2025

​🐕 Yolo
🐕‍🦺 Lola
Feb. 12 - Mar. 7, 2025
​3 weeks
Enjoyed caring for Yolo and Lola for a few weeks! They have such different personalities, but balance each other out well. They are sweet, well-behaved, loyal, and easy to love! We took them for hour-long walks at sunrise and sunset every day. We always encountered 'soi dogs' common in Thailand and while they tolerated each other, we stayed alert because they all can get a bit riled up unexpectedly and they are all super strong! We also played ball in the yard every afternoon while watering the plants.

Yolo had some recent health concerns, so we made sure to observe for potential incidents. Luckily, nothing happened under our watch, but we were prepared in case of that situation thanks to the pet parents’ preparedness.

For feeding, we measured out their raw meals twice a day after each walk in addition to various supplements and treats specific to each dog. One portion of their meals required cooking which we happily did.

​The pet parents were super hospitable and generous as well. We felt really appreciated with all of their thoughtful gestures (picking us up & dropping us off, introducing us to neighbors, treating us to meals, preparing groceries, having professional cleaners come, showing us around town) to make us feel comfortable and appreciated. They went above and beyond with their preparedness and clear & prompt communication! Would love to care for Yolo and Lola again!

Bangkok, Thailand with Roland and Basil

🐈‍⬛ Roland
​🐈‍⬛ Basil 
Jan. 2025
2 nights
Lianne cared for Roland and Basil for a nice weekend! ​I carefully followed instructions for one cat's medications—different dosages for morning and evening—and made sure his brother didn't eat while he finished his early! Other than that, it was a straight-forward and smooth housesit. I had a great time playing with them and getting much needed cat time! They don't like being picked up so I didn't do that, but I pet them and Roland cuddled on me with purrs. Best feeling ever! Thankful for the pet parents who are communicative, responsive, appreciative, and helpful by providing clear instructions and labeling things in the home. Would love to care for them again!

Bangkok, Thailand with Scout and Nala

🐕 Scout
​🐕 Nala 
Dec. 14, 2024 - Jan. 5, 2025
​3 weeks
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.

Chiang Mai, Thailand with Scruffy

🐈‍⬛ Scruffy
Nov. 2024 - 2 weeks
Oct. 2024 - 1 week
While we were in Chiang Mai, Adam filled in on an emergency housesit at the last minute because their original petsitter canceled. Scruffy is an older cat who loves sun-bathing and eating. He is on a special diet to lose some of his chonkiness, but the automatic feeder made feeding time easy and straight-forward. Scruffy was really shy at first, but warmed up with cuddles soon after. The pet parents were so pleased with things that they asked Adam back for another two week sit. Scruffy is such a sweet cat; it was a pleasure to care for him! The owners gave the keys to their car to use freely, but Adam did not use it once. Still, it’s good to have access to transport in case of an emergency and the trust is appreciated! All of the money left for emergencies was thankfully unneeded as well. Hope to see you again, Scruffy!

Chiang Mai, Thailand with Dasher and Joe Joe

🐕‍🦺 Dasher
🐕‍🦺 Joe Joe
Nov 4 - 6, 2024
​3 days
​Emergency housesit! Their sitter canceled so we filled in at the very last minute. It was just for three days, but very busy and full days with these guys! Still in Chiang Mai. Hard to get a clear photo of Dasher since he's a super active and playful pup. Joe Joe has a very calm demeanor.

These two don't get along very well with each other, so we were instructed to keep them separate, and go on separate walks and pee breaks, etc. They have different feeding times as well so we kept on top of it all ensuring each routine was not disrupted. Glad we could step in and reduce stress for the last-minute scramble due to a cancellation.

​We understand emergencies happen and plans change, but keeping dates is VERY important to us. We have never canceled on a housesit after we've confirmed, so you can count on us! Likewise, we expect homeowners to please maintain this commitment with us as much as possible as well.

Koh Tao, Thailand with Jet, Punk, and Mushy

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!

Phuket, Thailand with Nika and Moki

🐕 Nika
​🐕 Moki
Mar. - May 2024
8 weeks
We cared for two dogs (a 1-year-old Thai dog, Moki, and a 1.5-year-old Husky, Nika) in southern Thailand. We regularly shopped locally at wet markets for ingredients for their meals, which were cooked chicken, rice, and sometimes egg. Every day, we all went for an hour-long afternoon walk on the beach; we supervised when they went swimming and protected them from multiple engagements with territorial stray dogs along the path. Given the environment and record-breaking heat wave, we ensured that they stayed hydrated and mostly inside with the A/C and fan (as per the homeowner's request). We also bathed them and—because they both shed a lot—we brushed them often, sweeping and vacuuming every day. Around the yard, we watered the garden twice daily and kept the lawn maintained, mowing and weed whacking, as well as pulling weeds from the gravel driveway. These two dogs are very sweet.

Chiang Mai, Thailand with Luna

🐕‍🦺 Luna
Nov. 2023
2 days

We cared for this sweet pup, Luna, for just a weekend - wished we could spend more time with her! We took her on four walks a day and were very careful about preventing her from interacting with street dogs because of scary previous interactions that her owner was concerned about. Luckily, we didn't have any problems. Since there were two of us walking her, Lianne was able to ward off the street dogs who came to attack while Adam continued walking Luna away. We do our best to protect the pets!

Chiang Mai, Thailand with Haddie

🐕‍🦺 Haddie
Oct. 2023
5 days

We provided care for a very sweet lady, Haddie (9 years). She was shy at first, but warmed up to us quickly within the first night. We carefully followed the feeding instructions including daily medications, walked her twice a day, and brushed her every day. We loved the area so much that we ended up in an AirBnB right next to theirs so we're thankful we got to spend even more time with Haddie who came into our yard to greet us!
