I work as a high school counselor, so I am fortunate to have a two week winter break and more than a month off during the summer with my youngest daughter(10) still at home. We love to travel, but miss our pets while away, so we have taken to staying in homes with animals through . We would like to start home sitting for more opportunites to live like locals. We live in West Virginia but will travel within the midwest or mid-south for winter break, and anywhere during the summer. I am happy to provide references.
