Ideas of what to do when dogsitting 💡

May 2022, Portsmouth UK.

We dogsat Dids for 1 day and so much happened.... Dids met with Healey, Gans and Kiwi. We went to the carboot on Sunday, but Dids lost interest quickly lol. The walk home was in the rain, but still... so much fun by the sea...
Dids is a 4 years old Cavalier. We have been walking and sitting him for almost a month now. He is lovely and always extremely excited to be outside... We went to the beach - yay !!! Dids loves water and the beach and the pebbles and the waves and..... LOL He favourite thing is to save the bigger pebbles from drowning...

This was the 4th time Healey & Dids were walking together. Dids is the chilled one, not really bothered about other dogs. Healey is the most anxious one, not really trusting towards other dogs. Both seem to really enjoy each other's company more and more. They are definitely getting used to one another - Happy Days !!
We have been walking Healey for over a month now. He is, a 5 years old Schnauzer. He is very inquisitive and will not hesitate to ask for treats if he thinks he deserves it... or he just wants one - LOL ! He is brilliant with other dogs when off-leash, and a little wary when on-leash.
He was named after Denis Healey, English politician with similar eyebrows :D

It was the very 1st time Dids was meeting with Gans. Gans is a non-castrated male, so we are aware of potential hormonal mood swings. Both dogs like their own space, so they seem to be ok with each other.
Gans is a 6 years old mixed breed rescue from Lithuania. He is a very poised, intelligent and content doggy. Gans is a gentle dog with a beautiful soul. We are dog and house sitting for 3 weeks and are very grateful for the opportunity.

Kiwi and Dids were walking together for the 2nd time. We only started walking Kiwi a week ago. She is a 3½ years old Labradoodle, full of love and eager to play and discover new things and places.
Kiwi is truly adorable and very well-behaved during walks, which makes it very easy to love her unconditionally.

On most of our walks, we will go to the Rock Gardens which is full of smells of flowers, birds and other animals, the beach where Kiwi loves rescuing bigger pebbles from drowning, Southsea Common to play in grass a little and Southsea Centre to experience the vibrant and always busy town centre.
