House Sitting
Please enjoy my collection of house sitting posts where I chronicle my experience as a member of TrustedHousesitters and Rover since 2017. It includes some of my adventures in pet sitting and testimonials from homeowners and pet owners as well.
Testimonial #26: Amazing
Mark was amazing! We have quite the personalities in our house and he just loved them all. I got regular updates and he handled our dog with an injury so well we were completely comfortable being away. If Mark was in our area more often, he would be our go-to anytime we needed to be away.

Testimonial #25: Recommend without reservation
There are three measurements of a good housesitter: the responsible care of your pets, communication skills and how well they care for your home. Vicki and Mark were great housesitters, excellent with the pups, wonderful daily communication and very clean and organized. Would recommend them without reservation, and would unreservedly avail myself of their TLC again. This couple should be your next Housesitters.

Tips for House Sitters (#1) Always Have A Backup Plan (or 2 or 3)
As house sitters, you should always have a backup plan. You will experience cancellations. A perfect example of why is the Coronavirus epidemic of 2020 that’s disrupting the travel and tourism industry on a global scale.
