Erica's story: what it's like being part of the pack

To find out what life could be like as a TrustedHousesitters member, here's some inspiration from Erica who joined in November 2018. 

Erica's special story so far...

“My sitters have come from all over the UK and from as far as New Zealand.I currently have a couple from NZ sitting from September until December. There is no way that I could have managed to keep up my work/ travel/ life without the help of [the] site.” - Erica, owner, UK/China

Owner member Erica can now travel for work and spend time with loved ones across the world knowing that her cats are well cared for at home in the UK. Her job as a private chef means she has to travel all over the UK and Europe, meaning her cats, Callie and Piseag, are left needing regular care. Previously, her husband worked at home and was able to look after her cats while she was away. However, when he relocated to China for his job, she needed to find an affordable pet care option that didn’t mean taking Callie and Piseag out of the home they love. Since joining, Erica has had several sitters, who have travelled to take care of her cats from as far as New Zealand! 

As Erica has found, whether it’s finding an easier way to travel, spending time with pets, or a desire to keep pets happy in their home, joining the TrustedHousesitters community can be truly life changing!
