I can’t believe it’s that time of year again - I’m taking a week off to enjoy the start of this lovely Scottish Summer. I’ll finish up at 2026-05-29T15:00:00Z and return at 2026-06-08T08:00:00Z. As always, I’ve made no plans for my time off, other than a nice nature walk with one of my friends, and a trip to B&M (my local discount retail store) for some pots, plant accessories, and maybe some nice things for the garden. Though I do expect it to rain! The rest of the Forum team will be here as usual, and happy to help you! I look forward to catching up on everything I’ve missed when I’m back. 🙂 Take care, Jenny ---

I think THS Community Managers and other similar positions should be required to do pet sits so they would have a much greater understanding of the issues addressed in this forum. So, more travel and exploring for you while also getting paid. ---

@Cat-ophile it is my understanding that the majority of them actually do sit, in their own time at their own expense. ---

@ziggy @Cat-ophile Here’s what a current job opening shows as part of the benefits package. ![Screenshot 2026-05-29 at 10.39.12 AM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/trustedhousesitters/original/3X/6/0/607a65c8e5b79c2fcc65f4b02427502c7a0ef51a.png) My apologies Jenny for sidetracking on your post.
