Essentials for Extended Trips That I Can't Live Without

items I do a lot of pet sitting. Before I collected my essentials, I was bringing my clothes along in reusable grocery bags because that's all I had! 😂😂Tragic, I know. These are all of my non-negotiable essentials that I bring to every sit. So many of th...

Luggage
For getting all of my stuff to and from the pet sitting gig! This section includes luggage and packing essentials.
I love this carry-on by Away! I have this one in black, but the yellow is STUNNING. I always way over pack when I'm dog sitting and this comfortably fits everything I need in one bag... As opposed to the 6 totes I was using before.
Away: Built for modern travel
I really like these laundry bags, especially because they zip up. I'm always afraid I'm going to lose some of my dirty laundry in someones home and this way I can be sure nothing accidentally falls out 🤣
2 Pcs Large Waterproof Travel Laundry Bags
I know you've seen these everywhere but they're so good, so it's for a reason! I have a couple and they got everything I need from my skincare products so my daily medication. LOVE these
Prite Clear Makeup Bag Cosmetic Organizer
Similar to the Away Carry-on, the Beis Carry-on Roller just makes my life so much easier when it comes to living out of a suitcase for +1 week. I love them both equally and only tend to reach for the Away more often because of the fun color.

For shorter stays of only a few days, I usually will grab my Beis Weekender bag. It's not too big but still fits everything I need.

Clothing
There's just something about your favourite clothes while you're in a new environment for longer stretches. These are my comfort clothes that I always bring.
I love this sweater and the varsity green just hit different - it's so dang cute! Roots makes such good quality clothing and this sweater in particular is so comfy and warm. I sized up to make sure it's extra *extra* comfy
Organic Original Half Zip Stein
La Vie en Rose makes the COMFIEST pj's. I love these shorts so much. I have last year's version but they have held up so well, even being a favorite! I love these.
Crab Print Super Soft Pajama Shorts - Sea Blue/Crab
I spend most of my time wearing just sports bras and bralettes anyways but these are so comfy and perfect for looking cute, while still being low maintenance. I have so many of these and we all know aerie has the comfiest bras
OFFLINE By Aerie Real Me Low Key Longline Sports Bra
When I'm pet sitting, I like to try to pack light in terms of my clothing. That means that I'll gravitate towards clothes that I can wear in multiple different settings. I love the Arro leggings for their pet hair resistant fabric. It means I can bri...
Arro Athletics Leggings
Okay hear me out. Sometimes I just cant get warm and on days like that I always reach for the Oodie. I have forgotten to ask about the thermostat one too many times so I always pack my Oodie just in case the place that I'm staying is too cold. They'r...

I happened upon these shorts by chance at Costco and let me tell you. I can't get over how good the quality is and I have been constantly reaching for these shorts because they're so comfortable. I have done two longer sits since I bought them and I ...

I spend so much time on my phone and watch tv to fall asleep so being able to easily charge my phone at night is essential. Since I'm not really sure what the outlet situation is like, I like to pack this guy to come with me. This way if the outlet i...
Flat Plug Extension Cord Indoor 5 Feet
It bothers me that I even have to add this to my favorites BUT I do really like this camera finding device. Nanny cams are super popular with pet parents and sometimes they *forget* to disclose where they are located or if they will be checking them,...
Hidden Camera Detector, Signal Scanner X13
Sometimes, the pups that I am hired to look after are barkers - that comes with the territory. But as a neurodivergent person who is triggered by loud noises, I find these noise cancelling headphones to be a godsend. To be clear, I don't wear them al...

I love to use video games to decompress at the end of a long day and the Switch is the perfect way to do that on the go. It has great battery life and the cozy games available on Switch are unmatched!
