Since our inception in 2007, we’ve been dedicated to providing comprehensive, accurate, and trustworthy information to enthusiasts, professionals, and anyone interested in the lifestyle and opportunities that come with house-sitting.

Our Journey

House-Sitting was born out of a need to bridge an information gap on the internet. At the time of our founding, house-sitting was an area rich in potential but underserved by quality online resources. Our founder, a seasoned traveler and house-sitter, noticed this void and saw the opportunity to create a platform that would offer reliable guidance, practical advice, and a community for exchange.

Over the years, we’ve celebrated several milestones, including the expansion of our global network of contributors, the launch of our interactive forum, and the development of our house-sitting handbook, which has become an industry standard. Our commitment to excellence has been recognized with numerous awards, further establishing us as leaders in the house-sitting niche.
