I have a wonderful pet sitter, a vet tech who has been taking care of my pets for almost 18 years. She started with my  two dogs, then one dog, then a dog and a cat, and now the two cats. She’s a treasure, and the last couple of times I’ve also had her daughter coming in to do her homework and read for an hour or so a night. Her daughter is now a college sophomore in Massachusetts, so she couldn’t come for the entire time.

Perfect!  You can truly enjoy yourself!
