My husband and I just finished a 3 month road trip. We pet sit around the USA and Europe. We started in our hometown of Asheville NC and drove to southern California and back and had pet sits along the way. It's a great way to travel and really cuts down on expenses. In 4 weeks we head to Austin TX for a 3 week pet sit. We love Austin!

IIf you would like any further information from a pet sitter point of view, we have a website SitStayTrips.com. I set it up when we first started pet sitting. I just started a blog on how we became pet sitters after we retired. We are members of TrustedHousesitters.

📎 (4/15/24) @WebWiseWoman , that sounds like an awesome place to travel to. Not sure how many people will see your post as you already know folks are NOT happy with the site of late. Good Luck!

Hey there, Spring!

I'm hoping to travel to Panama within the next 5 or so months; have been checking into the culture, languages, lifestyle there, and pretty positive results.

Would so appreciate anyone currently there or with experience there offering their advise.

Thanks in advance, and happy travels!

Well we are planning our next winter trip, not sure if we will travel abroad or stay stateside. We got an invitation from a host we sat for last winter to come back to Laguna Beach CA. We love it there! But haven't made any decisions yet.

And oh btw, AARP featured is with other pet sitters about being a traveling pet sitter!

Hello!

So we have confirmed our winter trip and we are headed off to Europe for 4 months of pet sitting!

We are looking to book 75% of our time pet sitting and the rest of the time exploring what Europe has to offer!

We are always open to recommendations of places to see.

We leave in October and I'll be posting our travels on our SitStayTrips Facebook page and Instagram page.

I hope you'll follow us on this adventure and we'd love to hear about experience in Europe!
