Kenji and Ollie are looking for roommate(s) while we are away. They would love nice human(s) of any age.

PETS:
Kenji - Turning 16 in September - loves to sleep, sunbathe, and go for walks (short). He's very easy going and most of the time it's hard to know he is around because he's so small and just sleeps. His worst traits are accidents in the house (if not taking outside enough) and sometimes he whines but it's typically when he needs something. He has beginning stages of dementia, sometimes needs help remembering to come inside (when let out back) or sit down and relax.

Oliver (Ollie) - 3 in November - loves to play with toys, cuddle, bark at noises outside (we don't love it), eat, go for walks/runs, occasionally pester Kenji, play with his human sister, and other dogs. His worst traits are barking (although, he is not like a typical yapping chihuahua, its more so barking at people outside), accidents in the house, and begging for food/walking on the kitchen table to eat food left there).

*Both dogs have been potty pad trained and will use the outside toilet as well. Unfortunately, they both have accidents too. Accidents can be mitigated by taking the dogs out a few times a day.

CARE:
1. Let dogs out into fenced back garden (minimum of 4 times a day)
2. Feed and water dogs (they have their food and water out all the time, so it is just making sure it isn't empty)
3. Hang out with dogs
4. Take them for an occasional walk (can be a short lap around park)
5. Enjoy Houston

Ollie and Kenji are great dogs! They are perhaps some of the quietest and well behaved Chihuahuas that we have ever seen and are a pleasure to be around. Ollie just loves to sit in your lap. The location is fantastic, the kitchen is well equipped and it is so convenient to have a park right outside the front door. This made taking the dogs for walks very easy and the park is beautiful. I have to say the blooming red lilies in the backyard was just such a pleasant surprise and loved seeing ... MoreOllie and Kenji are great dogs!

We would do this sit again anytime.

Sit local, or anywhere

You can keep it close to home, or you can use house sitting as a way to travel on a shoestring. It's all good, and it starts here.
