This is what I woke up to this morning. ❤️

Anyone that has had an issue with their sciatica nerve knows how debilitating it can be.
12 days ago I hurt my back working outside. It was a bit painful at the time but nothing I couldn't handle. Then, 5 days ago, bam! Intense pain radiating down my leg. I couldn't walk, couldn't sleep, it was horrible. My sciatica nerve was pinched. I was able to get meds and I'm on the mend.

Being only able to go from the bedroom to our TV room across the hall, I am now able to move around more. John guided me to our sunny living room where I was met with a comfortable chair, coffee and flowers. He also made me a delicious breakfast.
I have a good one. ❤️

Expectations.
As a pet sitter, what are your expectations of hosts?
As a pet owner, what are your expectations of a pet sitter?

For a successful sit for both parties, clear expectations before a sit starts is key.
We have a page devoted on our website to expectations, what a pet owner can expect from us and what we expect from a pet owner/host. We ask that each prospective pet owner reads and agrees to the expectations.
We have also written a blog, "Let's Get Together", concerning expectations and what a pet sitter should be concerned with prior to a pet sit.

Communication is key to a successful pet sit. Agreeing on expectations from both the pet sitter and pet owner is a great way to ensure success!

"Be careful who you make memories with. Those things can last a lifetime" - Ugo Exe

Never a dull moment with this guy.

When we were pet sitting in Louisiana, I told John I may need his help to unload the top loading washing machine. I'm short and it was very deep. Sitting down at my laptop, I received the above text for help, I hurried out to the laundry room and found this. My brain couldn't figure out what the heck happened, John then sneaks up behind me laughing.
What a guy.

Interested in passive income while you travel?

We have a new blog post explaining how we use our home to create passive income.

So many people have asked us, “How do you afford to travel for as long as you do?” We use pet sitting to drastically cut our trip expenses and we rent our home to cover our house expenses.

Utilizing short term rentals (Airbnb/VRBO) to cover our home expenses allows us to visit dream destinations, spend weeks instead of days exploring new places, meeting new people while not having to worry about how much you’re spending.

If you’re comfortable with strangers using your home while you are off on your next great adventure, you’ll be rewarded with money to take care of expenses at home and possibly on the road too. This could lead to longer trips and less stress.

My happy place.
So many times we've thought of what it would be like to sell our home and travel full time. Seeing all these happy couples who have sold everything, bought an RV and traveled full time seems so romantic and adventurous.
But....
I'm a nester.
As much as I love to travel, I love to have a home to come back to. A home full of all my things, a home where I can garden, a home where I know my neighbors and spend time with them on our deck or around the fire pit. A home that welcomes visits from family and friends. A home to grow old in.

Travelers come in all shapes and sizes. Different dreams, ambitions and goals. "Home" can look very different to different people.
Here's to all the travelers 🥂 May you always find your home.
