Hi @Ashley, I housesit with my husband and 2 sons. My boys are 12 and 10 now, but my younger son would have been 8 when we did our first sit.
We’ve only done 3 sits, all less than a week in length and all in the UK within a couple of hours of where we live.
Where owners are happy to consider sitters with children, they may be tagged as “Family Friendly” so you may want to use this as a filter when searching for sits. In general, we mainly apply for “Family Friendly” sits.
I haven’t some across any other pet sitting families on this forum yet, but it is early days. I was thinking of asking if there were more of us out there myself. Maybe some more will reply to this post. I’d love to hear their stories and tips too!
@Angela_L I hadn’t thought of references for the children. One of the pictures on my profile is of them doing a thorough clean of a chicken house though!
