My experience

It was fortunate that my parents moved from Los Angeles to Tucson, Arizona, for health; therefore, I was allowed in-state tuition at the University of Arizona, graduating in 1967. During those years, my three brothers and sister enjoyed the

If you are lucky enough to have John apply to do a sit for you - don't hesitate, just say yes. First of all, John really helped us out of a "pickle". He

We went on a 3 week trip to Africa and were anxious about leaving our dogs as one of them got hurt a few days prior to our departure. John gave Thaddeus his daily medication, changed his t-shirt to keep him from licking his stiches, and took him to the vet for check ups. When we returned, both dogs were healthy and in good spirits. The house was in good shape as well. John was wonderful in taking photos and sharing daily dog updates via WhatsApp. While we were initially skeptical because of John's age, this was clearly a situation where one should not judge a book by its cover. We couldn't recommend John more highly.

It stems from my love of travel, and I am now retired with limited funds. Trusted House Sitters seems to be an ideal method. I've always had pets, enjoy their company, so the match is a great concept. Although I would not travel with
