We don’t mean to take business away from individuals who charge for doing pet sitting, but something you may want to consider for your cat is free in-home pet sitting. Retirees, like my husband and I, travel the world caring for homes and pets at no cost to the homeowner in exchange for free accommodations.
We’re writing not to have you consider us, but rather to introduce you to the concept.
Pet owners benefit by not having to kennel/board their pets and their home is safer since it’s lived in while they are on vacation/holiday. The pets get to stay in their own environment.
You join the network, post your need (including beautiful Villages location, dates, etc.) and information about your cat. You can specifically request a pet sitter who has experience with elderly cats.
Although you are inviting a “stranger” into your home, there are many safeguards in this system. Those posting an upcoming sit do not provide their name or address. The connection between the two parties (the homeowner and the pet sitter) is confidential, until the two parties agree to share information. The house/pet sitters include references on their profile.
We will send you a Private Message with the website which explains more about how it works since we can’t include a URL on TOTV.
