House Sitting – The Home Edition

By Wendy · Comments (0)
Sunday, November 5th, 2017

In my last post I shared some pictures of the many dogs and cats I came to know and love through the world of house and pet sitting. In this post I’d like to share some of my favorite U.S. house sits. From the mountains to the desert to the beach, I’m able to say I’ve done it all, and I have so many great memories, places and people forever now in my heart.

Livingston, Montana

I spent two months apartment and cat sitting in the small mountain town of Livingston, Montana. The apartment was originally a hotel built in the 1800’s for the railroad travelers en route to Yellowstone National Park. Due to sitting in an apartment building, I made fast friends with the other renters and ended up having one of the best, most memorable experiences ever thanks to them. Read more about the town and my stayย here.

Joshua Tree, California

My very first house sit was a small artist’s homestead located on 5 acres in Joshua Tree, California, only a few miles from the entrance to Joshua Tree National Park. I subsequently fell in love with the town of Joshua Tree and have been back numerous times now and have created my own guide to the area. See it here.

Ojo Sarco, New Mexico

Another all-time favorite was the time I spent in an adobe mountain home in Ojo Sarco, New Mexico, with four dogs and two cats miles from civilization. Read more about it here.

Santa Fe, New Mexico

Years later I would sit for the same family in their Santa Fe, New Mexico country home. Still four dogs and two cats, but two horses as well!

San Clemente, California

Ah, southern California steps from the beach. San Clemente, California definitely makes the list of favorites. I spent five weeks here in a beautiful beach condo with two cats. I have yet to write a full review on the amazing town of San Clemente, but it’s in the pipeline. Stay tuned!

The Hills, California

Finally, while only being a short week, I loved being able to add a Hollywood Hills home to my list, home of a screenwriter and comedian couple, their sports cars and their sweet pit-bull and those amazing hill-top views.

*****

I hope in time there will be even more amazing house sits to add to the list, and I’ve got my eyes on exploring overseas next. Interested in joining the wonderful world of house and pet sitting? Read my post on how to do it here.

Some fun facts about Faith: ๐Ÿ”ธShe was named after one of my favorite country stars at the time, Faith Hill. ๐Ÿ”ธI had no intentions of bringing a dog home the day I saw her, but something came over me and I just had to have her. I guess itโ€™s called fate! ๐Ÿ”ธShe has hiked the Appalachian Trail while carrying her very own pack, food, and water. ๐Ÿ”ธShe once moved to Nashville, TN to support her mommaโ€™s dreams. ๐Ÿ”ธShe has hiked all over Ohio, Pennsylvania, and even Maine! ๐Ÿ”ธShe once ran in a 5k with her momma! ๐Ÿ”ธShe loves her grandparents and they love her! ๐Ÿ”ธShe plans on living long enough to beat the World Record of longest living dog, currently held by โ€œBlueyโ€ at 29 years and 5 months. ๐Ÿ˜
