I really enjoyed house sitting for family members with pets. My favorite ones were houses with pools and the dogs were ecstatic about being able to have someone play with them for hours in the pool. It feels great to be able to ensure that their dogs were happy even if they were leading busy lives. Why don't I have a pet; Although I love pets,currently I am not in a situation to have a pet at this time. Anyways...I really wish we had a pet cafe to help adopt all the doggies and cats in the Central Valley. That'd be so exciting and fun to get your fix of petting dogs and cats.
