Dale and Greg: What It’s Like to Be Part of the Pack

Ever wonder what it’s like to be part of the FurPetVo community? Here’s your chance to find out — straight from two dedicated sitter members, Dale and Greg.

A New Chapter Begins

Greg and Dale had been dreaming of a “new life” for years. When they joined FurPetVo as sitter members in 2018, that dream finally took flight. They sold most of their belongings and set out to house and pet sit full time — exploring the world one home, one furry family, and one neighborhood at a time.

Living Like Locals

A year after launching their journey, Dale and Greg shared this reflection:

“House and pet sitting keeps us both entertained and engaged. We can no longer imagine travelling any other way. We always wanted to be a little ‘off the beaten path’ — living in real neighborhoods rather than tourist areas, enjoying local culture, activities, and cuisine. Homeowners have been remarkable, sharing not only their homes and fur families, but also their ideas and insights about how to best experience their community. We explore the world one home, fur family, and community at a time.”

More Than Just a Service — A Lifestyle Shift

Their story is just one of thousands unfolding every day on furpetvo.com. For many, house and pet sitting fills a heartfelt need — whether it’s welcoming a pet into a home that’s been waiting for companionship, or enabling owners to travel with peace of mind while knowing their pets are loved and cared for in familiar surroundings.

For sitters like Dale and Greg, it’s transformative: turning wanderlust into meaningful connection, and travel into purposeful, grounded living.
