Long Term Sits

[Carla]

Hello @JudyY

That is a great question and has been asked a few times before. I am sure that there will be many helpful members on here that have either split sits or maybe been on a split sit as a sitter. There are also members on here that do long-term sits so they can also advise you about that as well.

In the meantime here are some topic links that have asked similar questions:

Splitting a sit to find someone

I haven’t found anyone for my Christmas/New Year dates yet. I had someone contact me for part of it, including Christmas. I’m debating splitting the dates into two separate sit, one including Christmas, one New Years’ Eve. I’m thinking it might make it easier to find sitters. But I don’t love the idea of not being here between the two sitters, to check on the house and make sure everything is still in order. Has anyone tried that?

How long is too long

For various reasons we are going to be overseas for 6 months within the next 12 months. I would like to make this 2 x 3 month trips. Looking for advice as to the best way to break this up in order to find sitters. The house is near Moab so a great location. Many thanks!
