While their owners are away on vacation, you take over supplying the daily requirements of food, love , walks and belly rubs. Plus poop patrol or litter box scooping, of course.
At this very moment, in every country in the world, some lucky person is a surrogate pet owner, happily walking their temporary best friend through a beautiful park and being greeted by the neighbors with a friendly smile instead of a suspicious glare.
This lucky person could be you.
But if the mere thought of a pet of any kind makes you sneeze, don’t despair. While most house sits include caring for a pet of some kind, many don’t. You can enjoy all the other advantages of house sitting without resorting to allergy shots.
Hello JoAnn and David,
I have really been enjoying your SilverTrekkers blog. This latest one on petsitting opened up a new world for me. I had no idea that this service was so organized and international. It was especially helpful that you walked us through the process step by step, since some people of our generation can be a bit intimidated by the navigation of technology.
Thanks to you both for giving these postings such an
entertaining flair.
Have fun with the bearded lizard!

Hi Molly, We’re happy you found the article helpful. With so many choices out there, it’s difficult to know which to trust. Technology opens up the world to us but it still comes down to trusting an individual.
Hope you’ll give house sitting a try!
With joy,
Jo Ann and David
ps – we’ll let you know how our lizard experience goes!
