The places to choose are many. The French countryside, a house in Tuscany, central London or the emblematic Venice, among others. House Sitting is available anywhere anyone is willing to do so. Want to know more about this?

Being responsible for pets, a House Sitting requirement

Our pets cannot go with us everywhere. Sometimes, depending on where we’re going, we don’t want them to come with us either, for many reasons. Looking for a place to be taken care of doesn’t have to be complicated. But it can be expensive and there will always be another concern: leaving our house alone.

To kill two birds with one stone, as they say, House Sitting was born. This is a new alternative to take care of your home and your pet for free, just in exchange for accommodation. So if you want your dream vacation anywhere in the world for free, in exchange for just taking care of a house and a pet, House Sitting is what you’ve been looking for.

Marley, for example, a Canadian who practiced House Sitting, says:

“Thanks to having found someone who was responsible for our house and our pet, I was able to give my wife her dream vacation, in Europe, for a whole month.”

Obviously, no one is going to give the keys to a house to anyone, without knowing it, just like that. House Sitting implies an agreement signed by both parties. It details both the rights and obligations of the owner and the tenant.

This could include carrying out some small household chores by the tenant. For example, tidying up the garden, taking care of the pet’s hygiene, taking the walks he needs and taking him to the vet if necessary.

There are those who decide to include tasks that are a little heavier. These might include taking care of the roof or harvesting, but this would already include a negotiation on both sides to also result in an economic gain on the part of the tenant.

How do House Sitting sites work?

If you want to give up your house, or enjoy a free vacation, to access House Sitting you must register on one of the pages specialized in providing these services. As with most records and pages, they will ask for your details and a contact email, as well as a short description of the user.

You will also have the option to say whether you prefer a dog or cat and what you are willing to sign in a contract. When you find an offer that you feel fits your preferences, the page will allow you to contact the owner directly via email.

It is recommended, in order to know a little more, after the first contact by e-mail, that some videoconferences take place via Skype, for example. It is useful to see the person face to face and get a more real idea of ​​them.

Home-Sitters is one of the best known pages of House Sitting, if not the most. For example, through this page, it was possible that hundreds of people in Europe could find someone to take care of their home while they went to the Olympic Games, which took place in London.

And, in addition, many who wanted to “escape” from London these days offered their homes to the available House-Sitters. Finding accommodation in London was crazy, and thanks to House Sitting, many were able to enjoy a unique time.
