One of the most common reasons people say they don’t travel is that they are worried about leaving their home or pets unattended when they are gone. The fear of having everything you have so carefully worked destroyed or taken while you are far away and helpless to keep it from happening. There is something you can do to make sure your home is safe, your garden continues to grow and your pets thrive even though you are away. When you have someone you trust in your home, the worries about all these problems fade away and you can truly engage in your trip whole heartedly.

So how does a person find someone trustworthy to stay in their home while they are away? Australia is unique in that online communities exist that provide opportunities for people to communicate who genuinely love animals, and are looking to travel or who want to have someone caring for their pets while they are away. Some homes have gardens, plants, or other responsibilities that are beyond simple pet sitting as well for those green thumb folks who want to relax in a way they are comfortable with while traveling.
Online communities are a fantastic way to talk with prospects, take the time to get some research on the individual you are considering and get to know the person who will be in your home. Or you can get to know the person who’s home you want to stay in while you travel. The more you know about the home, pets and responsibilities involved, the easier it will be to feel comfortable in the home. Pets often have a few special needs such as feeding schedules, petting or cuddling times or techniques or special treats that are only allowed at particular times. You would want the person caring for your pet to know where and when to walk your dog so there is as little risk or injury or accident as possible. If your pet is an escape artist you would want to ensure the person knows all your tricks for keeping him safely indoors.
There is no way most pet owners can feel safe with someone they have not had the opportunity to fill in on all the necessary information regarding their home and animals. Pet sitting for some people is just as important as baby-sitting. For many pets are practically children and this is a serious commitment to ensure their family member is safe and happy when they can’t be there. Communicate and use online community resources to ensure your experience on either side of the pet sitting travel opportunity is a good one full of wonderful memories. Travel doesn’t have to be sterile and expensive, and going away from home doesn’t have to be a worrisome activity. Choose someone who can meet your needs and keep your worry at the lowest possible level when you explore the beauty of Australia.
