A Different Way to Travel: Pet Sitting

Hanne and her boyfriend look after cats during their house swaps 🐱

My boyfriend and I both love cats. Getting the chance to meet more cats and be their friends for some days is always something we are looking forward to. If we are in doubt between two options to stay at, we’ll always pick the home with cats. 

Especially during longer stays it’s fun to really get to know them. One time, we spent two weeks at one place and at first one of the cats was really shy. Because we spent more time there, she got the time to adjust to our presence and ended up being really cuddly by the time we left.
