You can read the
Forbes article here but basically Kristina Corniel is housesitting for people. It still leaves having to earn money for daily expenses and flights.
She uses a website:
https://www.trustedhousesitters.com/ which has an annual fee of $149 for the standard package.
Did anyone try this site?
If you like animals you can also do pet sitting with sites like Rover:
https://www.rover.com/ but at least owners will pay you to take care of their pets.
Hey there
,
I've actually stumbled upon that Forbes article a while back. The whole concept of housesitting
, especially in exotic places, sounds like a fantastic way to experience life in different parts of the world without the hefty accommodation bills.
I haven't personally used TrustedHousesitters, but a close friend of mine has. He found it to be a very positive experience. The registration process was thorough, ensuring that both homeowners and housesitters are vetted, which provides a level of trust and safety. The fee might seem a bit steep, but if you think about the accommodation savings over a year, it more than pays off.
As for Rover, I've had a couple of friends who've dabbled in pet sitting through it. Not only did they earn some extra cash, but they also got their furry fix (which is especially great if you love animals but can't commit to having your own). It's like getting paid for having a temporary pet!
If you're considering housesitting or pet sitting, I'd say give it a shot. It might not cover all your expenses, but every bit helps when you're traveling or living on a budget.
Happy travels (and maybe housesitting)! ✈️🏠🐶
Cheers, Ahmad
