Patricia traveled from her home to ours in Idaho to care for our elderly dog and cat for nearly 2 1/2 weeks while we were in New Zealand. Our dog requires 3-5 medications in the morning and in the evening and is pretty high-maintenance overall. We were grateful for Pat's willingness and ability to care for her, and also to have a mature, trustworthy person in our house. She had use of our car in our absence and there were no issues with her stay. There was a one night overlap when we returned and the pets both seemed very fond of her.

Why I want to house sit

To combine the travel, the pets, and the chance to meet new people. Life is so much more fun doing something to help out someone else. The pets make me feel at home, the new adventure makes me feel young.
