Just wondering if there have ever been any live community events on zoom for sitters?
Or if that’s something members of the he forum community would be interested in attending?

Hi Podcaster,
I am interested in setting up an online Meetup Group for Solo Housesitters. I saw your post here, and I wondered if you had any responses?
I am a solo sitter, based in Gloucester, England.
I work online so I am able to house sit and work at the same time.
Best wishes,
Vanessa

Yeah I really liked the idea of meeting maybe once a month on Zoom with fellow house sitters just to trade travel adventure stories and connect. But unfortunately never received any responses.
I have sent you a direct message. If you would like to join in on Sunday 5th May at 7.00pm BST, please send me your email address and first name in a private message to me, and I’ll be happy to send you the invitation.

Hi Rich,
Once I get your email address, and send you the zoom link, it will automatically calculate the meeting into your local time.
Eastern Daylight time is 5 hours behind British Summer time.
All the best,
Vanessa
