We're gonna miss Olaf. Last weekend with him. We had such an amazing time with him. He's one of the best dogs we ever house-sat. Time was too short, but we'll be back. Next destination Bend OR.

Isn't she the cutest??

This morning we were so sad leaving her and driving to our next sit.

The longer the sit, the more difficult it gets to say goodbye. Don't get us wrong, it's always hard. But with some it's just harder.

But we might see her again. And we are already at our new sit surrounded by two dogs who already stole our heart.

Meet Lee Loo. She is very sweet. But likes to keep her distance. She is 12years old. So as her owner says "she is an old lady and likes to have her space".

She earned it and we are happy to give the space. But we also like to cuddle her from time to time. I mean how can you not?

Meet Kensington and Jake.

Kensington is 3 years old. First a bit shy but loves to cuddle and loves his catnip. He enjoys being brushed (even though at first he refuses) and likes to eat Jake's food 😅

Jake is 10 years old, is not a big eater but loves his walks and is following Nane wherever she goes. he has some separation anxietY, so that's normal/what we experienced with many other dogs. He is also a bit afraid of Thunderstorms but he did great today despite one. However, the cutest and most unique thing is his bark. We hope we will be able to catch it over the next days.

Tater is full of energy, loves to show off his tricks (for treats of course) and to sit on you

His apartment is small and his hair is everywhere 🤣
but it's comfortable, has a view which is one of a kind as you can see and he gives so much love!

Only 6 more days before hitting the road again.

After 5 years we finally will be on the West coast with our beloved car.

Leaving one housesit to travel to the next one always comes with mixed feelings. Excited to explore new places, get to meet new people and animals and at the same time sad because we are leaving behind a place we got to know so well, pets we got to love and people we got to call friends after a sit.

Anyways. Today we had another two Videochats for potential housesits. For one homeowner couple it will be the first time using housesitters to care for their beloved dogs. So they had a lot of questions and asked us all about what to ask. What to do. What information to provide for the sitter etc. And then they asked what we are looking for in a sit/how we decide what sits to apply to/ take on. Something we haven't been asked in a while.

So tomorrow will talk about all the factors we consider before applying for a sit and before accepting a sit. So stay tuned.
