2007 marked the inception of HouseSitting, an online resource dedicated to providing comprehensive and trustworthy information on the art and benefits of house sitting. Our journey began with a simple yet profound observation: there was a significant gap in the digital landscape when it came to unbiased, accurate content about house sitting as a lifestyle, a cost-saving travel strategy, and an alternative to traditional housing arrangements.
In the following years, HouseSitting has grown from a nascent blog into a robust news website, carving out its niche as a leading source for house sitters and property owners alike. Our milestones include expanding our coverage to include destination guides, house sitting opportunities worldwide, and expert advice on home care and pet management.
Our purpose is clear: to empower individuals through knowledge, enabling them to make informed decisions about house sitting. We are guided by core values of integrity, community, and sustainability, aiming to build a platform that promotes responsible travel and living. Our mission is to bridge the information divide in the house sitting domain, ensuring that both seasoned and novice sitters have access to reliable, well-researched content that enriches their experience.
The idea for HouseSitting was born out of a personal challenge: finding an affordable and trustworthy solution to home care while traveling. Recognizing this universal need, we recognized the potential to create a community-driven platform that would not only address this issue but also celebrate the unique lifestyle that house sitting offers.
Our commitment to unbiased information and accuracy is upheld through rigorous fact-checking, expert contributions, and real-life testimonials from both sitters and homeowners. We maintain this standard by leveraging a network of seasoned house sitters, travel writers, and legal experts who contribute to our content, ensuring that our readers receive the most reliable information available.
