My experience

4 years

I've had a family dog for 4 years. I've also been cat sitting for 4 years. I've fostered dozens of cats and kittens, and even got to experience a mama cat give birth and nurse her babies. I've fostered older cats with health problems too.

Karen looked after Dianne’s pets

Karen fostered our cat, Apollo, before we adopted him. Apollo was a pretty sick kitty, along with being partially blind and deaf. She took such good care of him and was very responsive to questions from us and our vet, providing lots of helpful info as we got to know Apollo. She loves him almost as much as we do. I would absolutely have Karen care for Apollo and our other cats, as well as our home.

Why I want to house sit

I love to travel, and explore new and old places. But, I'm also a creature of habit, so daily routines and lots of downtime make me happiest. House/Pet sitting seems like the perfect way to have it all - and save on hotels. My favorite
