Just Call Me Housesitter

Wow,
So I have had quite a career in Housesitting. It all started with one lady from our church, a few years ago. I was interested to see what I was supposed to do and had no clue what this whole Housesitting gig was all about. I arrived at the house to get keys and meet the animals and see the house. It was fun to see the place where this lady resided. She showed me about the cats, where the garbage can needed to go and when, taught me about the use of televison and various other things.
The first time that I went in on my own when she had left, it felt like I was intruding or breaking and Entering (even though I was just entering, not breaking anything). It was interesting because the first time I housesat for this lady, I never even saw her cats. They were afraid of me and never came out when I was there. But I knew they were inside somewhere because I kept filling up the food dishes.
It turned out to be quite a good gig because I didn't have to do much AND I got to stay at someones house in Bend, away from the parents. It was a nice change. And you get paid for relaxin at someone elses house.
THEN, another couple in the church came up to me to housesit for them. I thought this was a one-time thing, but lo and behold, another one approaches. I take this gig too. Then again a few weeks later, then another family asked me to sit for them, and then again.
In the three years that I have done housesitting, I have sat around 12 times I can recall. (A few were repeats.)
Since Latvia Alone, I got back from Latvia on Wednesday July 22nd, I started a housesitting gig on Friday the 24th until Wednesday the 29th and then started another today Thursday the 30th until this Saturday the 2nd. Its quite a good gig, let me tell you.

One thing I have noticed from my Housesitting though- it seems to enhance hearing. I hear every little thing in the house, and also it never seems to be as comfortable as being at my own home.
I think one reason that many people think of me to housesit for them is because I am single, so there is no problem leaving for a few days or a few weeks, Also, I live at home, so many want to give me a break from that, another, I live in Redmond and many know that I do lots in Bend, so if they live in Bend, they like to let me be there to make it easy for me.
Anyways, you can Just Call Me Housesitter.
