We had a carefree month away with our pets and home being well looked after by Lindsay and Alex. With the two children as well, the dogs loved having more people around. They even did some gardening! We really enjoyed our time being involved with them and hope the remainder of their trip is successful.
Gabi and Troy looked after our little nervous girl for five weeks. As she does not willingly take to strangers, it was a daunting task at first, that ended in great success. We did a meet and great beforehand, and determined it would be a good fit. This was our first time leaving Kiki with strangers and it was super hard looking back at her, as we walked out the door, leaving for our vacation. With their empathy and calm, she slowly warmed up to them. Troy took her for long walks, threw the ball, and advanced to scent games. Updates and pictures frequently sent, warmed my heart to see that Kiki was in a good place, slowly bonding, sitting beside them, hopping up in their bed, just looking safe and content. They brought along their own rescue, Rikko, who is a very calm boy. This surely distracted her in a good way to have the company of another dog friend. In retrospect, this experience, trusting and bonding with new people, can only work in a positive way to give her confidence and comfort to trust in other people’s care in the future. The house was left in an immaculate and organized condition. They were respectful of our place and neighbours. They also frequently watered and cared for our outdoor plants. All in all, everything was great and I appreciate everything Gabi and Troy did for us and Kiki. They are Kiki’s new friends forever.
