Pet sitting, a vacation alternative

[Catherine]

Vacations can be expensive and tiresome and not worth it for some people. One woman and her daughter found an alternative that works.
It started with pet sitting for a friend  in their home. Then they joined a pet sitting group and they arrange to stay in a stranger's home and look after their pet.
They get time in a beautiful location, in a beautiful home. It is free. All they have to do is look after a pet. Usually it is a dog, so they get to explore an area while walking the dog.

It is a brilliant idea. It is a low cost, fun vacation. If you like dogs, you get to enjoy a dog, while you get to enjoy some vacation time.
For an animal lover it could be a dream vacation.
