Finding a house-sitting gig overseas is a simple task when you know where to look. It’s a great way to save money while traveling, so why not take advantage while you can? Here are a few tips for seeking out a great gig.
Forums
A simple Internet search will turn up dozens of forums. Do yourself a favor and stick with the first few that come up in Google. They’re reputable and you’re less likely to run across anything seedy this way.
A Friend
Often the best way to snag a house sitting deal is to ask a friend. If you know people who travel regularly they’re sure to have friends around the world who own homes. Perhaps they need someone to watch their place while they travel, too?
Website
If you don’t fancy browsing forums, consider signing up with a matching service like House Carers. They do all the legwork for you when it comes to verifying the accuracy of the postings and making sure the person you’re dealing with is legit.
Create a Website
A lot of travelers actually advertise their own house sitting services by creating a website for people to find. Set up a simple page on WordPress describing your availability and where you want to visit and wait for homeowners to come to you.
