I don't travel much, but about 4 years ago I went away for a week and had my nephew and his girl friend (both early 20's) stay at my place and look after my cats. Several years ago I had a friend's teenage daughter stay at my place to look after them.Originally Posted by SwampWitch
I'm curious what solutions others have for when they travel, 'cause I haven't gone anywhere since then.

I find that young people (teens or young adults living at home) often feel stifled by their parents and while they are old enough to live on their own they may not be able to afford it. So it's a win-win situation if you can find a relative or a co-workers kid who might like some time apart from their family.
For my nephew I left him $200.00 to buy groceries or rent movies etc. He was thrilled and he did a good job too.
