- My dear, you must have read my mind! You see, at this stage of my life, I don't know that I will be able to afford another vacation. Being divorced, I have other priorities ... but the concept of house-sitting truly intrigues me ... can you arrange a gig for me say in France or Spain? ;)
-
-
-
- Julie, we get notices of housesitting assignments all over the globe and from France most of all! I'm serious...check it out, my friend!

- I would love to look after pets but as we have two dogs on our own we might be more likely to look for someone to house / pet sit for us... will definitely be thinking about this!

- It costs nothing to create a profile at HouseCarers.com so give it a go!

- I am a missionary, and pet sitting/ house sitting is a great way to find places to stay and get paid rather than paying a hotel (unless it is volunteer).

- House sitting sounds like a very good idea to have free lodging at exotic places. The concept is not common in my country. I am not too sure if I am willing to let a stranger to live in my home even for a short period of time.
-
-
-
- Thanks for stopping by, Sue. We haven't ever had anyone housesit for us because we haven't any pets and that's the main reason people are looking for housesitters.

- Hi Cheryl, thanks for writing about housesitting. I have tried all the housesitting websites and have found www.caretaker.org to be the best for housesitting assignments. I recently started using www.caretaker.org and have found two housesitting assignments there so far.

- I learned so much from this lens, Cheryl. Housesitting is not very common in my country but I can see where the appeal lies. I love pets and I love travelling so it sounds like something I'd be keen to do in the future, when I've retired too. (: Great lens with lots of insights and useful information! *Blessed*
-
-
-
- Thanks so much for the blessing! I'm glad you enjoyed this and would consider doing housesitting, too. As a matter of fact, we're housesitting at this very moment. We're on Bainbridge Island in Washington state. The 3rd or 4th time at this house. We love the two cats and they remember us each time. We have another assignment in April at another house in the same area. Winters are so cold at home that it's nice to get away for a few weeks.

- Since I can work from anywhere, this is something I often thought about doing. Then I got two dogs of my own, heh. I'm not sure anyone would want to hire a petsitter who brought their own pets. ;)
-
-
-
- You could always ask...I'm sure that there are home owners who wouldn't mind if you brought your dogs. Well, not if they had cats, I guess!!!! But it's worth checking out. I think it's great that you can work from anywhere.

- Thank you very much for the blessing, Kim. This page was so much fun to write because we've had such a wonderful experience with this kind of travel. I always say we get our "pet fix" by house and pet sitting because we love pets but don't have any of our own!

-
-
-
- You know, I LOVE Canada and we used to go up to Vancouver or over to Victoria when we were visiting my sisters in Washington state. The main reason I don't have it on our list is because it's COLD there in the winter, isn't it? And we are trying to get away from the cold. [in reply to BigGirlBlue]

I would feel comfortable having someone watch the house but not so much the pets.

- It's been a long time since I was here, but I wanted to see what's new. This still sounds fascinating. I've known others who've done it. I like the idea of the pets being part of the whole things, makes it more attractive for sure.
