| Our first cat, Mr. Moe--we miss him! |
My dream job would involve animals, specifically cats. Over at JUST CATS Deb has established a full-time in-home cat sitting business and has been doing it for 18 years. She just takes care of the cats in their own homes when their owns travel. I think this would be such a fun job! This would not even seem like work to me. I would love helping people be able to leave their pets at home where they are most comfortable while their owners travel.
There is actually a professional organization called Pet Sitters International! On their website it gives tips on how to get started and even provides certification!
I'm sure I would take a huge pay cut and lose my medical insurance so I won't be doing this anytime soon, but it's certainly something to keep in mind for a little extra income when I retire and have free time all day. I know I would like meeting all different cats!
What would be your dream job?

Several friends in urban areas use such pet sitters. One friend had a dog and cat and the pet sitter would come by 3 times a day to check on the house, let the dog in the fenced yard and feed.
There's a series of cozy mysteries that are "written" by a Florida pet sitter...cute books although I cannot remember the name.
I'd definitely hire you!
We have left our pets home when we've been on vacation; a friend stopped in everyday, and it was priceless. I think there's a definite need for such a service. Yes, it would make a great job for retired people!
I'd hire you! My aunt is retired and living in a 55+ community in Arizona so she pet sits for a lot of her neighbors who travel a lot. She's very busy and in demand but she absolutely loves it. I think I might try to do it one day too!
I have already worked at two dream jobes at least for me they were. A corrections Officer and a Realtor
I think you're right--That would be a perfect job for you! I would totally feel happy to leave my pets with you. :)
