Pet Sitting the Fab Four

The Fab Four, Need At Home Pet Sitting

Charlie, Chappy, Katie and Skye, fondly known as the four little doggies, belong to a wonderful woman named Betty who has set up her home to accommodate their various needs making  pet sitting them a breeze. Charlie and Chappy are both mixed breed rescues and Katie and Skye are West Highland Terriers, or Westies. All four of them are love bugs and I always enjoy taking care of them. I actually get to do their pet sitting! Charlie and Skye are both special needs dogs and with a four dog family, at home pet sitting works best for them. Staying at their house is fun and works well all around as both care for the home and pet sitting needs are met at the same time.

Multiple Pet Sitting Skills Required!

Charlie, the little Doxy was born completely blind. I sometimes forget he is blind because he gets along so well. He has his home memorized and as long as the furniture isn’t moved and there are no unexpected things on the floor, he manages very well. When pet sitting him, actually, when dog walking him, he knows instinctively where the curbs are (something which just amazes me), but I do have to pay attention to bushes, fences, etc. so he doesn’t bump into them.

Skye is a senior gal. She needs a slower paced walk and has mini staircases she uses to get up on the couch and bed. (Yes they all four sleep in the bed too!) She also requires medications and all four dogs are on various and different supplements so feeding time is a challenge. Katie and Chappy are the rambunctious ones. They get their dog walks separately from Charlie and Skye as they bark, pull, and go into a fun, fast and furious frenzy when we meet another dog on our walks. So there are a few things to remember when  pet sitting the Fab Four, including, DON'T rearange the furniture!!!     http://www.santacruzpets.com
