Hello,
I am Althea (Hadie), my husband Shaun and I are new to housesitting. We have two children living with us at home 19 & 16, a 5 y/o German Shepherd (Darling), a pet fish (Oscar). We live on the outskirts of Tampa Florida in the United states, about 30 minutes from the city. We love staycations, road trips, the zoo and time with family.
We are excited to join the community and can’t wait to learn lots from you all.

Hi @Veronlee. Welcome to TrustedHousesitters and our community of animal- and travel-lovers. I’m glad you found us and introduced yourself. As @mars said, Tampa is a great area - you shouldn’t have any problems finding sitters. And I’m sure you’ll love sitting for other people’s pets while you’re away from home.
Welcome, and enjoy the conversations and relationships you’ll build here in the forum.
Thanks Karen.
Thank you Karen. I appreciate the welcome!
