Twix and Rolo are very very used to having someone at home most of the time.

We are looking for someone who works remotely and intends to be home often. They are very rarely left alone, but when they are, we do not leave them alone for more than 4-5 hours. And we try to avoid leaving them in the evening/night.

Twix and Rolo will need to sleep in bed with you. Rolo has anxiety for a few things, one of them being going up the stairs. He will need to be carried and put on the bed. Twix knows the drill once Rolo is picked up and will scurry up the stairs and jump into bed. In the morning, Rolo needs to be put on the floor, and he'll go down the stairs on his own. Twix will playfully attack him because she's ridiculous lol.

Twix and Rolo can be fussy when it comes to food. They have days that they love to eat, and then other days where it's a struggle to get them to eat. They both don't really want anything too early in the morning, but we offer freeze dried chicken first. Then by late morning / early afternoon we see if they will eat freeze dried food with freeze dried chicken.

Dinner time varies based on if they've eaten during the day. It can be 7-9pm. We have canned wet food for their dinner.

Rolo tends to vomit biles when his tummy is empty overnight, so we try to give them a few snacks and their dental sticks a bit later (around 10pm).

Rolo is allergic to beef and gluten. We have gone through so many foods and treats to find what works best for him. Twix is on the same diet just so that things don't get mixed up accidentally.

Twix and Rolo would greatly benefit from at least one 15 minute walk daily (preferably in the evening before dinner). We let them out in the backyard multiple times a day.

Twix and Rolo are very low key for the most part (other than the food issues at times, sigh). They love just cuddling and relaxing all day long. They have a big bed by the window in the living room and we open the curtains for them during the day. Twix can sometimes just want her own space, but Rolo will 99% of the time be happy to be next to someone.

Twix and Rolo will bark at other dogs and sometimes even people from the window. They need to be told to be quiet and relax. If they get too crazy, the curtains get closed.

While on walks, try to avoid running into dogs. If they are within eyesight, they'll bark and go pretty crazy. So just try to pull them away or just wait until the dog passes.

We change their water and clean the water dish 3-4 times a day.

About us

person Elaine

My name is Elaine. My husband, Csaba, and I are looking for someone to care for our sweetest pups while we're away. (We do prefer a woman, please, as Twix is afraid of SOME men)
