Hey guys today we want to share our house sitting experience
So we had a lot of friends talk to us about house sitting while traveling. (Otis chill man)
And uh, we never tried it. We've been traveling for more than seven years now and we've done
airbnbs, we obviously stayed in lots of hotels and stuff, but we never house sitted before and
We know it's very popular in europe
So now while this pandemic is going on we're doing some
little travels here in the us and we're visiting my brother in austin, texas
And now we are actually on our way back to atlanta, georgia
And uh, we wanted to find cool places along the way so we went online and we found trusted house sitters
Uh, the price is I believe it's 129
For one year and, we were actually pretty lucky to find
a house sit that was here in texas
In dallas texas on the way to atlanta
So we wanted to share with you guys how this experience has been and how to do it if you're interested
So the first thing we did when we signed up in trusted house sitters was to set up a profile
We put our names we paid the fee and then we were able to start finding people that were looking for sits
There's a bunch of different dates and states that you can look through
So we were very fortunate to find a date and a location that worked for us
we applied, you know, they checked out our entire profile we since this was our first sit
We actually asked some co-workers and friends to leave us
Some recommendations so they can verify our profile
And then we apply for the sit
So actually some of the house sits are kind of competitive obviously on the nicer locations and longer days. So we're very fortunate
that when we send the applications the homeowners choose us to do the seat
so once we arrived they were actually very nice
they were still here at the house before they left for their travels and they gave us all the
Indications on how to feed the dogs take out the trash and everything that we needed to know about the house
So what are some of the things that uh, you've been doing here with the dogs?
Well, i've been taking care of the dogs playing with them giving the food one of the dogs
Actually is an old dog
She has to take medicine one like twice a day
So every time I have to feed her I have to give her the medicine and then we just take them for a walk
Keep playing feeding them
And some other stuff that we have to do at the house like helping the owners, but uh, not a big major stuff
It's really nice. It's kind of like you're staying at your own place or
family members
Yeah without having to pay for it
um
and it's definitely a win-win because I think the owners are pretty happy that we're here taking care of the dogs and
Uh on the house and it's obviously a win for us because we get to stay in a really nice place
Without having to pay for it
so
There's a bunch of places for you to look for house sitters, trusted house sitters.
Based on the research is one of the biggest ones
We also looked at nomador, which I think they hosts a lot of house sits as well
uh
We talked to a lot of people friends that travel
And they told us that this is very common in europe. And I think that's where we got the idea from some european friends that
They do it very often in england in amsterdam, uh and germany as well
But now you we start to see more and more house sits in the united states, which is cool
So this is the first time we do it, but I think it's pretty cool
I think we're gonna continue looking for it
Obviously again, you have to be flexible on the dates, on the locations
So, you know, you don't get to pick exactly which date which place you can get a booking
but if you're flexible and you
You know want to go check out a new place and take care of
Some cool dogs or cats or i've seen even places taking care of where you have to take care of horses and cows
Then I think it's a a pretty cool experience. So overall we totally recommend house sitting if that's uh
Something that you want to give a try remember in the description, we're gonna leave some of the links
