Search For A Petsitter In Your Area

Every time a vacation rolls around I immediately become concerned for my pets. I have 2 cats and a dog that have never been kenneled for an extended period of time. Luckily, my parents live only a few minutes away and are willing to take care of my pets while I’m gone. I am fully aware that I am lucky and not everyone is in my shoes. Don’t despair, I have found the most helpful site ever!

Sittercity can help you locate a petsitter in your area, anywhere in the country. You simply type in your zip code and it will list profiles of available options for you. My zip code came up with 307 possible sitters for me, wow! I had no idea there were so many choices. Several petsitters have backround checks posted on the site that are available to view once you register as a site user. Tons of other information is also provided within their profiles such as prices, available dates, and services they will provide.

Not only does Sittercity help you find petsitters but they also have available searches for senior care, home care, babysitters, nannies and tutors. A very helpful site all around.

Creative Cake & Cupcake Bakeries in New Jersey

knitting-cake Oh, how I wish I lived in New Jersey. Just looking at these pictures online is making my mouth water. I don’t remember how I came across both of these bakery sites but what a coincidence that they both are located in New Jersey. I have had them bookmarked for awhile and thought a mention couldn’t wait any longer.

The Pink Cake Box in Danville has out of this world wedding and specialty cake creations. The cakes are absolutely stunning and have been featured in several popular magazines. If I lived anywhere near Danville and I was planning my wedding; I would run, not walk, straight to them for my cake needs. Visit the blog portion of their site to see up to date pictures and stories behind the cakes. rootbeer-float-cupcake

Sweet Avenue Bake Shop in Rutherford has the most amazing collection of unique cupcake flavors ever. They all look and sound absolutely scrumptious. Thank goodness I live in Pennsylvania so I don’t have to choose. Take a look at the list of 21 flavors with their descriptions. Some of the ones that caught my attention were the Cookies & Cream, Smores and the Root Beer Float. Those of you close to this bakery, I am so jealous. I can only dream of how good they taste.
