Where did Nala come from? Can she stay there while you're out of town?
I did not have a good experience with Rover.com. Don't do it.
Can you find and make friends with another basenji owner in your area where you can take turns pet sitting? Maybe you can find local basenji owners on Meetup or Facebook?
My heart would break to leave her at a boarding facility or a vet although she'd probably be fine. I like the idea of a pet sitter staying at your home ONLY IF you can really train the pet sitter on several visits before leaving in August (not far away!!!)
My Basenji "Chase"

This is Chase. My Basenji and best friend for the past 7 years. I'm glad to see that he isn't the only Basenji in this world that loves cardboard, Q-Tips, toilet paper, squirrels and taking up the entire bed while in his upside down stretched out sleeping position!!!

Welcome from all of us. Chase looks like a cool guy in his specs. I have a 2 year old black and white, Abbey. She's possibly the only B in the world that never bothers the toilet paper. Anything else paper is fair game, especially napkins, which sometimes require climbing onto the kitchen counter to get.

Chase is a very handsome boy!!! Welcome, I am new here also. But this site is very nice and also helpful!! I love it already!!! Buddi loved the toilet paper when he was little but hasn't bother it in over a year, so I am very pleased. But we also crate him during the day so he doesnt have access to it unless we are home.

i LOVE the paws on the face picture. b's are so funny. welcome

Jazzy has never been interested in toilet paper, or any paper really, EXCEPT for the cardboard rolls that paper towels come on. Those are a favorite chew toy!
and the paws on the face picture is my favorite too!

Your Chase reminds me of my own Red & White, I laughed out loud while viewing these pics. My favorite is also the face & paw one, also I love the quilt on the head one. Isn't it funny how they use their paws like hands, everytime my B (Sahara) tries to sleep in my lap and the lamp is on she hides her eyes with her paws. Anyways, welcome to the forum, you will like it here!

Great pics of your Chase. How did you ever get these pictures in these poses and props? My B is always moving. The camera is never around when he is still. He would quickly swat off glasses on his nose. Chase must be much calmer than Duke. Thanks for sharing. I like them all.:)

Cute! I like the wire rim pic!

Love the pictures!! Adorable poserโฆI've always consider paper products a staple in my B's diet! I have to keep all garbage cans either up where she can't reach or with a secure lid. It's gotten to the point that I forget my manners everywhere else I go and don't put my napkin on my lap!
