House sitting

One of the great opportunities I have now is house and dog sitting, I get to stay in different places and houses and get paid! I only charge $15 a day, but have realized I may need to up my prices for multiple dogs or challenging dogs. This last one was a handful. But the house and location was beautiful and worth it!

The couple recently sold this house on the beach in "Crucita" and were traveling to see where they wanted to move to next. Ocean front has its problems and they were ready for something else. I ask the owners to stock the fridge and cupboards for me as not all of the houses are close to towns or tiendas, this was one of those. Probably 3 miles from the Boca going north and 1-2 miles south til one got to a town center. And this was still a very small town, not Crucita proper.

Perry and I always go a head of time, to meet the dog and make sure we all get along,  so far we havent met a dog we didnt like. (We may not like them by the time their parents come home, hahaa) This is Wolfie, a 3 year old German Shepherd who for the first couple days would hump Perry every minute, thankfully that subsided. But he was big, loud and required daily walks on the beach and showers after.

Beach walks everyday was the easy part, we all had a wonderful time. And had a very relaxing 5 days away. I did a lot of sitting on the patio reading and watching the waves and sun.

What a wonderful place. I am so blessed and thankful for my life. Since the weather in the States is warming up, more expats are traveling so my house sitting jobs have started back up. I am booked almost all of May and into June...so stay tuned, the adventure  continues!
