Hello!

So we have confirmed our winter trip and we are headed off to Europe for 4 months of pet sitting!

We are looking to book 75% of our time pet sitting and the rest of the time exploring what Europe has to offer!

We are always open to recommendations of places to see.

We leave in October and I'll be posting our travels on our SitStayTrips Facebook page and Instagram page.

I hope you'll follow us on this adventure and we'd love to hear about experience in Europe!

[11/26/24] Barbara @BarbaraV847444 , any UPDATES to share? Happy Thanksgiving my friend. Nicole  🙃

(4/15/24) @WebWiseWoman , that sounds like an awesome place to travel to. Not sure how many people will see your post as you already know folks are NOT happy with the site of late. Good Luck!

Hey there, Spring!

I'm hoping to travel to Panama within the next 5 or so months; have been checking into the culture, languages, lifestyle there, and pretty positive results.

Would so appreciate anyone currently there or with experience there offering their advise.

Thanks in advance, and happy travels!

My husband and I just finished a 3 month road trip. We pet sit around the USA and Europe. We started in our hometown of Asheville NC and drove to southern California and back and had pet sits along the way. It's a great way to travel and really cuts down on expenses. In 4 weeks we head to Austin TX for a 3 week pet sit. We love Austin!

[SpringIsHereVA]

(2/29/24) @BarbaraV0124 , what an AWESOME way to vacation!!!  💃💃💃

I am going to look into Pet Sitting.

IIf you would like any further information from a pet sitter point of view, we have a website SitStayTrips.com. I set it up when we first started pet sitting. I just started a blog on how we became pet sitters after we retired. We are members of TrustedHousesitters.

Nicole  👵

[BarbaraV0124]

Yes! We just started a 3 week pet sit in Austin Texas. We love it here. This is our second time pet sitting for this host. 

[SpringIsHereVA]

(3/30/24) @BarbaraV0124 , thanks for responding. Do you have a FAVORITE location or basically like several?  🤔

Favorite location to pet sit? We have some favorite pet sits we like to go back to, this one in Austin is at the top of our list. We tend to head to the West and Southwest. We were in southern California for a great pet sit with an incredibly good dog and fell in love with the area. Seattle is somewhere we're always looking to get back to. Europe again is on our radar.

[SpringIsHereVA]

(3/30/24) Yes @BarbaraV0124 , pet sitting. Europe sounds EXCITING!!!  👍
