WHY FOR FREE?

The point of a house sitting exchange is not to make money. It’s to allow for travelers and pet owners to benefit equally through a shared love of animals!

FOR THE PET OWNERS

With a house sit exchange, pet owners can travel without worrying about the high cost of professional pet care services, while still receiving quality pet care! This is especially helpful for those long trips, when pet care expenses can add up quickly. In-home pet sitters maintain your pet’s routine, provide personalized care, keep up on household chores, all while ensuring the security of the property. A house sit exchange is not only cost-effective, but it’s a great choice for pets who need more than a few drop in visitors.

FOR THE SITTERS

There are many ways that house sitters benefit from this exchange. Most notably, travelers are granted the opportunity to stay in unique and comfortable homes for free! By eliminating the cost of accommodation, travelers can stretch their budget longer and further, allowing them to put money toward meaningful experiences rather than hotel costs. Additionally, sitters gain the unique opportunity to experience local life and culture, all while taking care of a furry friend!

FOR THE PETS

Pets are are the most comfortable when they can stay in their familiar surroundings and stick to their daily routines. This can reduce the stress of their owner leaving, and allow for a better experience for both pet and owner. Staying in their own home, opposed to a boarding facility, also lowers their risk of illness by reducing their exposures. The best part about a house sit exchange is if the match between sitter, owner, and pet is just right, sitters are likely to want to return again! This makes the next departure even easier for the pets, as well as for the pet owner!
