• Paid Cat Sitter (Dec 23rd- Jan 6th)

  Simple. Go to Rover and hire someone to come to your place every 3 days or so for about $20 per visit. Should be around $100. Source: 6 months ago

• Travel without cats.

  Go on rover.com and hire a pet sitter. Source: 6 months ago

• Jet Pet Resort

  I've used rover.com for puppysitters and they've been great. It costs about $50/night and includes $20K insurance in case anything happens while you're gone. Source: 11 months ago

• Saturday Success Stories

  If your neighbor doesn't work out or you need someone to care for Jonesy, the website rover.com has tons of people all over the U.S. Who will do anything from board pets in their homes to stay at your place to take care of pets to drop-in visits to feed, water, walk dogs, etc. I've used them before when traveling to take care of my dogs, who are a major handful and scare/intimidate most people, and always gotten...

• Dog boarding options?

  It's been about one year since the most recent post I could find discussing dog boarding options in Columbia. There were some good ideas (ranging from traditional brick and mortar places to rover.com, and everything in betwee). Thanks in advance. Source: 11 months ago

• Long-time Couchsurfing user suspended for mentioning "couchers.org" in a private message & remains suspended for not agreeing to ridiculous communication policy

• Why are there no negative references?

  Yep, it's an issue with couchsurfing, nobody wants to leave a negative reference. This was actively being discussed in couchers.org. I myself felt pretty uncomfortable leaving a neutral reference once. Source: 12 months ago

• Warmshowers as a host??

  You could also use couchers.org. It's more a follow-up to the broken couchsurfing.com, so a much wider scope. Currently it's free and says it will stay that way, they want to go with volunteer effort. Source: about 1 year ago

• Airbnb vs Camping

  Couchsurfing: my preferred way of touring: you get to meet great and likeminded people, you don't have to lug around camping gear (although it's good to bring an indoor-sleeping bag). The site with name couchsurfing.com is broken. But the oldschool warmshowers.org and the new couchers.org are great! You have to treat this type of hospitality as a gift and not consider it a free service. If you can, hosting others... Source: about 1 year ago

• Backpacking through the states by train for the first time. Any tips?

  Also, I would suggest joining a hospitality org. The best, original one is Servas - www.servas.org - but there's couchers.org, trustroots.org and others. it could help you immensely. Source: about 1 year ago
