Welcome To Housesitting
Have you heard of housesitting? Many people are surprised that I have stayed in other people’s homes in Canada and around the world. Housesitting arrangements benefit both the homeowner and the pet sitter.
Did I ever think I would look after donkeys, a goat and sheep? Or chickens? Or an extremely chatty cat? What about a very old dog that I carried everywhere? I now have animal friends all over the world, not to mention lasting connections with many of the homeowners.
These resources will give you strategies on how to get started as a housesitter and how to find amazing housesits around the world. It is a delightful way to see the world and live like a local, all the while loving some animals!
