Senior Sitters Get Free Nights With Pups & Pussycats


TrustedHousesitters.com is a website that books travelers who volunteer to combine visits to homes throughout the world with caring for the family pets. If you can create travel plans to include destinations that require your services, you may earn free nights in some unique homes.

You may be spending the night with Rover in a Honolulu beach house. Or lolling with Tabby within a New York high-rise condo. Or strolling with Shep along the grassy fields of a regal English estate.

To apply, volunteers must offer proof they’re experienced in feeding and caring for the pets.  It costs $119 annually to be a member of the pet-sitting volunteer clan.

Q: Former Military Woman, Is It OK For Me To Travel Alone? PDF Print E-mail


My 32 years in the Navy took me to all parts of the USA, but never overseas. Now retired, I want to see parts of the world that were only dreams before. South America, England, France, Italy. Family members say it just isn’t safe to do alone. What do you say? MTL, San Diego CA

A: We don’t want to exaggerate, but women are often at risk when they travel alone in other cultures where they’re considered fair game for robbery and physical attack. For that first venture abroad, we suggest you sign on for an interesting senior singles group trip or cruise. You’ll be safe and with compatible people. It will give you experience in travel to use later when ready to go it alone.
