my daughter s teenage boyfriend was in charge of taking care of our animals and home while we went on vacation. luckily, he is a good young man so we did not worry he would try to steal anything. we felt it was safe and in good hands.
i am happy for you!
we did not have much choice, as we had an outdoor dog and indoor cat, so if we did not, we would come back to not having pets. but, i would not just let anybody, that is for sure!
