The full-time house sitting professional difference

As the international house sitting community continues to grow, more people are choosing to become house sitters for various reasons. Some opt for short-term house sitting gigs, while others do it intermittently. Then there are those like me who have made house sitting their full-time lifestyle.

Many homeowners are unsure about sourcing a house sitter for the first time. They have concerns about making the right choice, finding someone they can trust and feeling confident leaving their animals and home with. In these instances, I always recommend considering full-time house sitting professional.

Let’s get into the three key reasons why:

Firstly, experience plays a significant role. A full-time house sitter has lived in numerous homes and cared for a variety of animals. If they are international house sitters, they may have even experienced different cultures, languages, and local customs. Their adaptability and ability to navigate their way around your home and community will be impressive, and you can rest assured that they are adept at caring for different types of animals.

Secondly, a full-time house sitting professional will guide you through the process. They will explain what they typically do upon arrival and during their stay and ensure all essential aspects are addressed before you leave for your trip. Their expertise and experience will help allay any concerns you may have, making the entire process smoother and more enjoyable for all parties.

The third reason is a full-time house sitter relies on the good standing they have built, often over many years. Your house sit is not just a one-off assignment for them. These house sitters are deeply committed to maintaining their reputation and therefore their way of life. By choosing a full-time house sitting professional you are selecting someone who genuinely loves this lifestyle, and they will go above and beyond to ensure a positive experience for both you and your pets.

If you are a first-time homeowner looking for a house sitter, an experienced sitter will be invaluable in helping you prepare for your departure and address any questions or concerns you may have. This is not to say that new house sitters won’t do a fantastic job or be capable and diligent. The enthusiasm and fresh perspective that a new house sitter brings can be an excellent quality. While experience is valuable, don’t discount the potential of a new house sitter who displays genuine excitement and a strong desire to provide top-notch care for your home and pets.

In conclusion, whether you choose a seasoned full-time house sitter or a passionate newcomer, the key is to find someone who resonates with you and instils a sense of trust and confidence. By considering the benefits of a full-time house sitter, such as their experience, guidance, and reputation within the community, you can increase the likelihood of a successful house sitting experience for everyone involved.
