Hi all - my name is Sara Beth! I housesat for 20 years in my hometown of Chattanooga/Lookout Mountain, TN so it was natural to use Trusted Housesitters as now I travel full time. I had 5 house sits last fall but didn’t have much success over the winter (and honestly stopped trying!) I’m currently in a 2+ month sit at a lake house in South Carolina, with two more week-long sits that will get me to mid-July, all who contacted me to come back.
So, it looks like people are traveling again! Which is nice, it felt like jobs were getting thin there for a while. I’d love to go overseas but it might be a while yet? I’m not sure how that will play out.
If you’ve read this far - what’s the craziest thing to happen to you on a house sit? I think the only really goofy thing to happen to me is, on my very first TH sit, I was on a skype call with a prospective housesit (whom I’m not still friends with) when the cat decided I had not been paying enough attention to him and he bit the corner of my computer screen and cracked it! I didn’t even know that was possible…and now the touch screen doesn’t work anymore. I overlapped with another housesitter once and she had much more horrific stories…
