I will miss this House Sit.

I am truly going to miss this glorious sight every morning, as I sit in bed with my coffee..easing my way into the day!

It is usually a bit of a ritual for me to sit with coffee in the morning but this is like icing on the cake. Seeing this view just gets me pumped up for what's to come. I will go back to looking at walls in the morning..boring.

The homeowners will be arriving tomorrow, later in the day. My cleaning regime begins now, the day before. It was left in spotless condition and I will be as kind and do the same for them. They are wonderful and down to earth people..it seems all my clients are easy like that. I do want to be asked back and I am so grateful. Not only will the home be left spic and span but my two dog and four cat companions, will get the once over as well.

This has been one of my better house sits. It came as a referral from another almost perfect house sit homeowner. I have been here for two weeks and have only left the house twice and that was for food. Everything that nurtures my soul is here. The house is located directly on a stretch of white sand beach with a secret beach cove, fronting the house. With an array of beach activities, such as beachcombing, swimming, snorkeling, and boulder hopping to two other private beaches, you see why I never have to leave. My pups are great beach companions and run the beach with me.

The homeowners have allowed house guests (most do) so I have invited a couple of friends to enjoy the gig with me.

The sun goes down with another mesmerizing sunset, while I relax on the sand, with a simple dinner and a LongBoard. The ocean waves will lull me into a deep slumber for one more night. I will miss this house sit.

The Holidays are a Busy Time for House Sitters

Today is the second day of my beautiful house sit on the North Shore of Kauai. My pet companions are a sweet, 14 year old cocker spaniel and a huge kitty. This is a Mainecoon and the most beautiful cat I've ever seen...I've seen a lot of cats. My homeowners are wonderful people and very generous.

I knew it would be a busy time because I've kept a timeline of my house sits. For me, October through January is very busy. People start the holiday vacationing around October. Basically, my house sits are back to back with either an overlap of a day or so or a few days between each. It's a good idea for you to keep a timeline. That way you will know when you will be able to take some time off for yourself. Although, I consider house sitting as a fun vacation for me, I like the periods when I don't have to think about anything except when my next swim will be.

I will be here for the holiday through the beginning of January. The weather is cool and clear with a bit of trade winds. I always like to make short term goals for each house sit. It's a fun and motivating way to get things done, knowing you have a end date or you could call it a deadline. For this one, I plan on making headway with my book. To pay my person, who will be converting the book to electronic form and get ready for the next phase which will be to get it onto selling platforms. Woo-hoo!

Well, It's Confirmed! I'm a Mermaid Princess

My house sits always amaze me.  Each one is different but equaling satisfying.  This house sit really is a Castle Beach House one block from the ocean.  I can watch the early Sunrises as I make my morning coffee.  The popular walk/bike path is nestled up against the sweet picket fence so plenty of motivation to get out and join the other fitness minded folks.  I have access to a bike so everyday, I hop onto my bike and ride along the coast.  Today, there was a monk seal peacefully resting on the sand.

Isn't it lucky for me, I not only have another house sit of my dreams but also the company of two fabulous dogs and a talkative African Gray Parrot?   My dogs, Tucson and Toto are avid walkers and love the path as much as I do.  As the sun sets and the kite boarders are gliding by,  l enjoy my nourishing dinner of cajun grilled ahi (fresh tuna) over grilled veggies.  It has been a warm and perfect day.  Such is my life.
