WHY FOR FREE?

The point of a house sit 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 pet care services, while still ensuring their pets are well cared for! This is especially helpful for long trips, when the cost of pet care can add up quickly. In-home sitters maintain your pet’s routine, provide personalized care, keep up on household chores, and ensure the security of your property. This option is both cost-effective and provides peace of mind for traveling pet owners.

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 at home in their familiar surroundings and following their daily routines. This helps to reduce any stress caused by their owners leaving, allowing for a better experience for both pet and owner! This option also reduces the chance of pets getting sick at a boarding facility from common illnesses like Kennel Cough. 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!
