I am recently retired and travel frequently. I am fostering to adopt a little cocker spaniel from the SD Spaniel Rescue. I need to make my decision on whether to adopt by the end of the month. I will be on vacation June 23-July 18 and have someone to take care of her for the first week. I would also like to have someone who would housesit at other times. It's possible that I will be gone for the month of November. I am new to this and don't know if people who provide this service receive payment for their services. If so, please let me know how much you charge as my pension is very modest. Hope to hear from you.
