Anyone do housesitting/caretaking as a vacation option?

Thanks for this, Sara. Before I got married, I used to do something similar to this. I would housesit for people who were going on vacation for extended time periods and didn't want to board their pets.
They would pay me $25 a day, I would live in their beautiful homes, still go to work and do my daily thing, but at the end of the day, I'd go home to their homes and take care of their pets. It was a fabulous gig. I really enjoyed it.
This sounds great, too, for people who don't have children and who enjoy new experiences. If I was at a different point in my life, I would definitely be interested in this. I bookmarked it, just in case.

I bookmarked this site too, it's interesting and you never know when this might be a great opportunity. I house sit for my mom from time to time and feed her cats too while she's on vacation.
