Hi Debbie!
We certainly do sound as though we are similar sitters especially with our love for animals.
I was lucky to work from home during the lockdown and even after it was lifted but I am currently on maternity leave so making the most of house sitting until I have to return. Hubby can get to work if I find something close to the city or in a suburb that isn’t too far away from the work location.
It is good that your occupation allows you flexibility.
You are so lucky!
I don’t have the opportunity to travel to another country like you do but if I lived in the UK, I would not pass a Wales, Scotland (like you!) or Ireland sit.
My ideal location in the UK is Bath (was there in 2011) but I fell in love with York and surrounds, Scarborough, Whitby all were fab.
Our most recent house sit was to the ACT (Australian Capital Territory) so we did travel interstate which was good and I loved arriving to a home with a cat and a dog after a long drive.
My daughter is 7 and son is just on 10 months.
I look forward to our chats.
