“You have forever changed the way we travel and we LOVE it!”
“Jen and Stevo were huge inspirations for us to take the leap and start full time travel. We saw a YouTube video and Instagram post from them that talked about house sitting with Trusted House Sitters. We both absolutely adore animals and thought we would reach out to Jen and Stevo on how to get started with THS. They answered all of our questions and even provided a link to help us save money on our first year subscription with Trusted Housesitters!
Well, the rest is history! We absolutely love the flexible option of caring for someone's pets AND getting FREE accommodations while we are traveling the world. A huge thank you to Stevo and Jen for sharing their passion for house sitting with us. You have forever changed the way we travel and we LOVE it!”

“Housesitting turned out to be such an amazing experience for us.”
"Ben and I were first introduced to the idea of housesitting through Jen and Stevo when we met traveling. It blew our minds that we could use it as a way to travel cheaply and see beautiful places that we might not see otherwise.
Jen and Stevo helped walk us through the process...
...We met lots of wonderful people and their pets and stayed in some great locations. It also helped us to save for our down payment for our house and experience living in different areas of Brisbane."

"Gave me the extra push I needed!"
"When I was hesitant to dive in to the digital nomad lifestyle, I had an inspirational and informative call with Jen. She gave me lots of tips about house sitting and visa navigation, and gave me the extra push I needed. Definitely recommend Jen and Stevo's services!"

FAQ
WHAT IF I'VE NEVER DONE HOUSE SITTING BEFORE?
It will definitely be to your advantage if you have experience caring for dogs, cats, or other types of animals. However, you don't need to be an expert at these things. As long as you are a responsible adult who loves animals and is good at communicating, you can become a house sitter!
WHAT FORMAT IS THE INSTRUCTION PROVIDED IN?
The information is in a downloadable PDF you can open on your computer or phone. We've also included a couple of video lessons. Each part of the process is broken down step-by-step to make it easy to follow.
WILL I LOSE ACCESS TO THIS INFORMATION?
No, once you purchase the Ultimate House Sitting Guide, it's yours forever. We will send you email updates if we make changes or add more information to the guide in the future so you have the latest version.

WHAT IF I CAN'T TRAVEL ABROAD SOON?
No worries! Travel house sitting can mean going abroad, traveling within your own country, or house sitting close to home for a staycation. We recommend getting started with shorter house sits close to home if you can in order to build up the reviews on your profile. You can also start while you're already abroad, which is what we did. Both work! Just get started :)
