Evidently house-sitting is the national past-time for trustworthy and non-partying single people. Right now, I've got a weeklong gig in ohio city watching two dogs and four cats which has turned out to be much easier in practice than in theory. I don't even have to walk the dogs but I do because I'm at work all day and the hyper one is in a "crate" (the nice way that dog people say "cage") and I know I'd hate to be cooped up like that for 8 hours straight.
It's like going on vacation with pets and getting paid to do it, and I like these interludes because I can be relaxed and solitary. sleep on the couch, take random walks through the neighborhood, chill on the porch, write and turn the stereo up...
Boy, nice work, iffen you can get it. Hope you don't get paid in Alpo and catnip.
