Hello Gale, and welcome to the TrustedHousesitters Community! Here you will find a whole host of fellow travel and pet loving folks with many wonderful adventures to share, like you.
Goldendoodles are a favorite of mine, having just completed a stay with a 2 year old in Northern California. So playful, curious and at times stubborn. Maybe that’s the Poodle part, I dare say with affection 
It also sounds like we have the food piece in common, as we feed our Australian Shepherd a mix of raw and freeze-dried which she loves. At 15 years young, it’s gotta count for something.
In addition to traveling, will you also do pet sitting? If so, you may want to include a link of your profile in your listing. It will help others see your qualifications and give you greater exposure. Here’s the scoop: How to add a listing or profile link to your FORUM profile
We look forward to seeing where you land and any photos you care to share of your furry ones Jake and Toby.
