The advantages of housesitting as a couple include – being able to provide extra attention for multiple pet households!.
….which came in very handy during our extended stay pet care engagement caring for Bella, a chocolate lab, and Jake, a husky/golden mix. There’s no other way to say it – Bella is an attention hound!, (and a dear girl) Give your attention to stunningly beautiful Jake, and you will experience what the owners called “Bella-sy,” — you’ll soon find you’ve got a 70 pound lab inserting herself onto your lap or into your face!
With two of us able to give plenty of loving to both, Bella’s competition for attention went way down, which was great for us all, particularly Jake! Jake initially seemed a little aloof, which the owners attributed to his husky bloodline, but we found, with lots of one on one attention, Jake was anything but distant — he was not only responsive to commands, he sought out cuddling.
It’s so very satisfying being able to help out owners who need extended stay in home pet care, and we feel blessed to have connected with these special little souls and their beautiful, thoughtful owners!
