Posted in: Freelance Writing, Housesitting

happy dog ready to go to the House & Pet Sitting Conference in the UK

“What is a house and pet sitting conference? Do you just share photos of dogs and cats all day?” That’s the legitimate question sequence I got from a friend when I mentioned my upcoming travel plans.

My response? “OMG I hope so!!”

2018 year in review expat blogger amanda walkins

Southern France is dreamy even in reality. And that’s why I leapt at the opportunity for housesitting in Southern France last month.
