Housesitters Unleashed
"I wrote Housesitters Unleashed because I want to help raise the standard of housesitting—not just for homeowners, but for the pets who depend on us. Life moves quickly, and for many people looking for a new direction, housesitting can be more than a way to travel. It can be a grounding, meaningful path. It’s a chance to explore new places without losing sight of responsibility, and it’s built on something priceless: trust. By sharing what I’ve learned, I hope sitters everywhere can give pets the same love and care they’d get from their owners—whether that’s in a cosy apartment, a quiet farmhouse, or a far-flung coastal hideaway."
Housesitters Unleashed isn’t a dreamy scrapbook of cute pet photos and sunset shots. It’s a practical toolkit for people who want to do the job well—and get invited back, time after time. Inside, you’ll learn how to:
-
Prepare confidently, even for unusual or remote homes
-
Communicate clearly with homeowners, setting the right expectations from the start
-
Keep pets happy, healthy, and safe—even when things don’t go to plan
-
Leave the home so cared for that you’re first on their list for next time
Because housesitting isn’t just about keeping things ticking over—it’s about becoming the person they trust with their home, their animals, and their peace of mind.
