Sitting Worldwide
|
| ...
So far our experiences house sitting have been great. We have been
able to be a part of the community and to really see what it is like
to live there, rather than pass through as tourists. ... we have had sits within Australia but now we have one in
Ireland for three months and then another in South Africa. J & B, Australia, Ireland, South Africa, Nov 2011 --------------------------------------------- Hi Danny, We have found a couple to do the housesit so would like to remove the ad. Thanks so much for all your help and we hope to use your house sitting service another time. All the best, S & M, Portugal, Nov 2011 |

Had a great time!
Repeat house sitting in London for 6 weeks allowed us the time to see the
sights at our leisure . . . took bus trips in different directions most
days or stayed local as the mood took us . . . and having a house sitter
looking after our home in Australia meant a worry free holiday . . .
G and A, Australia to London, Sept 2011

. . . took early retirement in 2001 and have been house sitting ever since
so we are into our tenth year of this wonderful lifestyle . . .
Have done many repeat house-sits . . . Did a three month house sit in
Denver, USA in 2007 and have just been asked by a repeat host to do a
three month sit in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, USA in 2012, of course, we
said YES.
Driving to Perth and currently have four sits organized . . .

live in their home for nothing while they are away. House-sitting is
completely one-way - you don't have to offer yours in exchange - and it is
becoming a global phenomenon. Housesitworld.com is the place to go, either
to advertise for a sitter or to find somewhere to live rent-free around

From the city . . . to the bush . . .
Worldwide!
International travel options are huge with so many places to visit,
things to see and experience, and with modern-day travellers having a
little more time to enjoy each area, house sitting has become a two-fold
benefit.
Travellers can house-sit someone else's home as an affordable means of
accommodation, giving them potentially longer to explore and enjoy an
area at a more leisurely pace.
And, while they're away, having a housesitter live in their own home
gives the peace of mind so necessary for a happy holiday - the pets are
being looked after in their own home, the mail collected, and lawn
maintained.
Thanks to the universal reach of the internet, Home and House sitting Worldwide is able to cover all international areas without having to open a physical office in every city. We've had successful housesitters from New Zealand to London, Scotland to South Africa, Canada to Portugal, Italy to Greece, USA to Spain, France to Costa Rica and lots of house sitting jobs in between.
Housesitters are ordinary people just like you - from all walks of life and available for all sorts of reasons. Some are saving for a home, renovating their property, moving to a new area, re-establishing their lives, travelling with their own pets or wishing to save on motels or simply needing a break from the mobile home while touring. House sitters range from young singles or couples to families to retirees, from professionals to home makers and all offer something different - as the home owners also have different and varying needs. No one "type" of house sitter makes the "perfect sitter" for every house sitting situation.
The house sitter is
expected to look after the home owners home as if it were their own - providing
"lived-in" security, mowing lawns, maintaining gardens, collecting and
forwarding mail, caring for pets and generally keeping the home neat and tidy.
House sitters would generally be responsible for their own food, telephone and
utility use. Whilst most house sitting agreements would be in exchange for free rent, some
house sitters may offer more of a formal caretaker role or perform other agreed extra
duties in exchange for an agreed fee. This is totally up to the home owner and
the house sitter and should be agreed to in writing before commencing duties.
(Remember, a housesitter is not expecting to work on your property full time
but is looking for a genuine "home" to live in, with it's normal attendant
responsibilities - House sitting should be a mutually beneficial arrangement)
Security - Whilst a house sitter can provide lived-in security for your
property while you're away, it is the responsibility of the home owner to ensure
adequate home and contents insurance coverage is maintained.
It is also the home owners responsibility to check the bona fides of the house sitter.
Apart from checking referees, an interview should be conducted and prospective
house sitters introduced to your pets to check compatibility. This would also be a
good time to introduce your neighbours - this helps the housesitter learn the
environment and feel more comfortable in strange surroundings and, by bringing
your friendly neighbours into the background, acts as a semi backstop for both
parties. Requesting a police clearance and considering the lodgement of a bond
is also a good idea.
