House & Pet Sitting 

Increasing numbers of homeowners are not comfortable displacing their pets or leaving their homes empty when they travel. The solution is to engage a house sitter. Pets get to live in the comfort of their own home, while criminals and would be thieves are deterred by having someone in residence. Having a full time presence in the house also helps avoid any issues arising from frozen pipes, power outages or tropical storms.
