How interesting. In Cats General I responded to AmberLee's email about pet sitters. I spoke of having house sat in college and consequently employing college students as house sitters now.

I was a house sitter while a student at the University of Arizona --- as you are today! I also "keep house" -- cleaned, etc. One summer I was a "daily" at the home of a well-known Tucson family about two blocks off Speedway! The house was, I understand, donated to the U of A.

Good Luck!
