From a photo-sharing thread of doors from around the world to one member’s quest to get back to Bali, it was another great month of discussions over on our Community Forum! Need a recap? Here’s a round-up of what’s been going on in the Forum this month...

Topic of the month
While most of our sitters have a place to call home, there are a significant number of sitters who choose to travel while house and pet sitting full-time. For other sitters, this is not surprising but for some members, this seems a pet sitting leap too far… and this conversation all around 'Sitters with no regular home' helped everyone understand the motivation for being in perpetual motion much clearer.
“I’m an occasional sitter who has been learning a lot from the full-time sitters on this forum. They have my respect. I hope that HOs would select a sitter based on their profile and reviews, not on if they have their own residence” — @Mary-Kay

Quote of the month
This month’s Quote of the month comes from new Forum member @Jenn, in the topic Animal Lovers in N. California, USA.
“Rob and I were always looking for airbnb’s that had pets. One of the airbnb owners saw how much we cared for her cat - so she filled us in on this fabulous organization. We are going to be doing 2 back to back sits out of state on Friday. So excited! Thanksgiving with a wonderful pup. Enthusiastic about the adventures ahead.”
