We’ve worked remotely (part-time self employed) ever since we became full-time house sitters and nomadic travellers almost a decade ago, firstly as online English teachers (even our adult Chinese students loved the pets being part of the lessons so that was no problem 
), then on our own website/magazine which didn’t really involve much external video interaction, and now also helping out part-time here in the forum for THS as a CM. I guess I’ve been incredibly fortunate that my most recent work from home involves everything to do with house and pet sitting so happily no-one minds when the pets get involved. Usually a cat strolling across the keyboard.
I’m quite interested though as to how many who WFH have to really manage pet activity when they are in meetings - given the number of people with pets, have they become an acceptable addition to the calls you make - do colleagues find it acceptable?
We’ve definitely changed our focus - returning to more working hours through the pandemic has meant our approach to looking after homes and pets has changed. As a couple it’s of course much easier, but that wasn’t why we became sitters… for one of us to walk the dogs and the other to sit by a computer - we like to enjoy the pets together. The pets still need to come first, so for us at the moment gone are the days of lots of pets and livestock… now we generally sit one dog only or cats… I’ll never tire of cats helping me work !! This is manageable for us with a flexible routine and of course the pets are natural stress relievers!!
This is a great question @Chatsetchiens … thank you for contributing to the community discussions!
