How did you discover house sitting?

In 2013 my husband suggested we leave our “very responsible, very high stress” jobs and travel around the world. He was shocked when I said yes! After researching long term travel, I found THS and applied for our first sit in Scotland. We traveled for nine months and had two additional sits in Portugal and Australia. We also used other sites for work exchange and spent time harvesting saffron and olives and working on farms. We visited family, took a cruise to get from one place to another and filled in the blanks with Airbnb’s and inexpensive accommodations. It was glorious.

Since then we’ve tried to do one or two sits per year in order to keep our reviews current. We live in Michigan and our goal starting in 2022 is to housesit during the winter months.

This is us with Ollie and Rory in Scotland.
