I live alone and travel a great deal. I have purchased a home for investment purposes and have a great deal of expensive paintings and furniture handed down from my grandparents. I was a little nervous about leaving my house for many days at a time because of my job. After searching the Internet,  found that there are services offered to people just like me. A  trusted house sitter from sitter city was the answer I was looking for. I could have a reliable person stay in my house while I was away and feel secure in knowing that no one would be breaking in because they knew I was out of town. It was a perfect solution to my traveling woes.
