Are you a teacher and pet owner who likes to spend a good portion of your well earned holidays travelling? Or, would you like to travel more but struggle to find reliable and cost effective pet sitters. More than nine in ten pet owners consider their pets to be a member of the family, which means that you will want your pet to receive the best care while you are away. If, like us, you are international teachers, the challenge of getting somebody to look after your pet can be far more difficult as you will have no family to call upon and your expatriate friends will also be returning home or travelling during the school holidays. This is why the Teacher Tourist pet sitting service could be your answer. How does it work? Well, there are two options available. You can do a home exchange with a fellow Teacher Tourist who is willing to look after your pet. The other option, is to use a Teacher Tourist pet sitter to care for your pet at your home while you are away. They stay in your home for free and in return you get free pet sitting. If you are a teacher in need of a pet sitter or a teacher who loves pets and likes to travel, register with Teacher Tourist, there will be a holiday option to suit you.
