Very Helpful. But additionally, I would have liked a copy of your list of questions you ask each homeowner. I like the idea of asking for photos of the living space. Thx.

I've never done this before but I'd like to give it a try, I need to know how you going about and where you set up a profile

@RoadtripwithNik 5 лет назад

Hi Pete! Definitely give it a try. Check out our video on what we think are the best house sitting websites. Link below. You'll need to create a profile for whichever house sitting site you decide to go with. Spend some good time creating this and post good, clear photos of yourself. Talk about your previous experience with animals and house sitting for other people. If you don't have experience house sitting, talk about your home ownership experience instead. Finally, get good references from at least three different people who aren't related to you. Ideally, these would be friends who you've house or pet sat for in the past. Hope this helps! Best of luck to you! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QV8s6fvmhiA.html

This sounds amazing! Do people ever let you bring your own pet with you?

@RoadtripwithNik 5 лет назад

Hi Allison! Thanks for the comment. There are some homeowners that are open to having you bring your pet along. However, more times than not, they ask that you don't. If they don't explicitly say on the sit listing, it's always worth asking in case they are open to it.

What is the acceptance rate for new house sitter?

@chazsteadman5020 4 года назад

great video! I would like to know some demographics (or where to find them). I'm a single man in my sixties, retired and wonder if most home owners prefer couples, or women rather than just a man. Any ideas?

@RoadtripwithNik 4 года назад

Thanks, Chaz! Here's what we've seen from our experience: If a homeowner wants someone specific they will clearly state it. Sometimes it's not about the homeowner but about the pet or location. We've seen requests for a young sitter because their dog needs a lot of running. We've also seen requests for someone 55+ because they live in a community that doesn't allow anyone younger. A few things that might be helpful: Make sure your profile has multiple photos of you with and without pets. Have an excellent bio about your experience and why you'd make a great sitter. Have excellent references from previous sits. When you apply for the sit, keep it brief but impactful so that they want to have a phone call or video chat with you to learn more. Good luck!!

Hi watching from south African please help me get house sitter job in America, Australia or UK as been house sitter since 2008 up to now

@tamo9520 4 года назад

Just found you two and this video. I've been thinking about doing this for years, I've just never made it past the thoughts, . . . until today. Thank you for the information and this video! My first question ('cuz I'm sure I'll have a lot more) is, do you get paid for doing something like this?

@tamo9520 4 года назад

going to check out your video called Best House Sitting Websites! Thank you for making & posting these!

@RoadtripwithNik 4 года назад

Welcome to the world of house and pet sitting! Thrilled to hear that you've enjoyed the info. In response to "do you get paid" the answer is it depends. Most house sitting websites are very clear that they are a trade (all of the ones we did long-term were) and no money is exchanged. You care for pets and a home in exchange for a place to live. As you know, it's an awesome way to slow travel and keep your costs down. We have been tipped at the end of sits by homeowners, which is always a nice gesture, but not required. Hope this helps! Happy to answer any other questions that you have.

Are there house sitting jobs without pets?

@acilegnadelgado8741 4 года назад

Do you have to sleep in their house? Or can you just go walk their pets, feed them, and water the plants?

@RoadtripwithNik 4 года назад

That will depend on the homeowner's request. For us, having a place to sleep was part of the trade for a long-term (1 month or longer) house sit. Most of the homeowners on Trusted House Sitters websites (and the alike) are looking for the trade style. If you want to do something more local where you can stay at your house and just pop into theirs to walk, feed and water, then check out Rover.com. Even though it seems odd, we generally get paid for the short-term sits and do trades for the long-term sits.

@estabanb55 3 года назад

How about Facebook house sitting jobs are they legit? Some pay $800 a week

@RoadtripwithNik 3 года назад

Hmmm, we'd be cautious with those. Seems scammy to us. Unless you know the person or they're a mutual friend, we'd recommend using an actual housesitting site (we link to our favorite in the description of this video) to find a gig.

@RoadtripwithNik 3 года назад

Congrats! It's an excellent skill to have!

@BWater-yq3jx Год назад

Tip #1 Get your foot in the door (literally 😆) by applying for a couple of sits that are less desirable; i.e. very short &/or in an unpopular location, possibly at an unpopular time of year climate-wise, and most likely with pets, especially dogs. Farms in obscure areas, looking after some farm animals, are a good bet. Tip #2 Make these sits exemplary, to get some 5 star reviews. Then you're off! But expect to still have to work your way up the ladder a bit; i.e. the 6 month sit, with no animals, in the dry season of a tropical coastal city... is probably still a bit of an ask. 😉 Tip #3 Have a few bookings lined up at any one time. This makes you look in demand and validated by others. Tip #4 Try to post photos of yourself with pets... which look natural and comfortable. NOT where you're holding the animal captive and it clearly isn't interested in your photo-op affections. 😒 Get a tripod for your phone and record video, then extract the shots you want.

Does age matter, say anyone over 60 years old

@RoadtripwithNik 3 года назад

Good question. Age can go either way or not even be a factor. There are sits where they require the sitter to be 55+ because they live in a 55+ community. There are other times where they have a very active dog that needs an hour or two of walking daily and want to make sure the sitter can handle it. Ultimately, it all depends on what the needs are of the homeowner and pet.
