I have a bunch of kids in competitive tennis. The only way they can participate on the circuit with a single income is to pet sit their way through the summer.
The kids also love interacting with the animals.
my husband and I sold our home in 2021.
we traveled the US living out of our car and in AirBnBs.
we started house and pet sitting in 2023.
sold our car in 2024.
summer of 2024, we took our house & pet sitting internationally and have now been living out of 2 backpacks for a total of 2 years while working remote jobs.
I’ve learned that less is more, that connection with strangers is life-changing, animals are one of the sweetest gifts to humans, & living differently than the majority of the world can be isolating at times.
that’s why I’m thankful for this space & nostr:nprofile1qqs9xtvrphl7p8qnua0gk9zusft33lqjkqqr7cwkr6g8wusu0lle8jcprpmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctvqyt8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwdaehgu3wvfskueq9kcnkt; to connect with people who want to live differently, live by their convictions, & create a better world.
would love to know if there are any other nomads or house/pet sitters in this space!

That’s awesome! I remember doing that too as a kid, taking care of neighbors cats and dogs. It’s so fun.
When they’re older, they can take that to travel!
Also so cool they play competitive tennis. My husband played D1 Tennis in college. We love the sport!
