What do you think about the possibility of getting free accommodation in exchange for taking care of pets?
Anyone who has a pet is aware of the sometimes complicated logistics involved in going on vacation. What are you doing with the cat? Do you take the iguana? How will your guinea pig experience a plane trip to New York? TrustedHousesitters found a solution to this 'micro-drama', also achieving that it was the pets that would win by not having to leave their homes for a season.
Thus, with the aim of ensuring that travelers' animals can stay calm, safe and happy, TrustedHousesitter has been dedicated since 2010 to putting pet owners who go on vacation in contact with travelers willing to take care of them during their absence, in exchange for free accommodation in their homes , they explain on the web.
The 'Homesitter', as the future caretaker is called, thus finds a place to live during their vacations without having to bear the cost and, most importantly, opens before them the possibility of enjoy the destination as a true local and enrich your trip by discovering the most authentic face of the place visited.
Once you have chosen a destination, you only have to find the accommodation that best suits your needs depending on the length of stay you want and the type of pets he is willing to take responsibility for. To do this, each owner profile indicates how long they will be away on vacation (ranging from a few days to even months) and the animals they have at home.
TrustedHousesitters offers accommodation options in more than 150 countries , with the number of proposals in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand being especially relevant. To access this meeting point for pet owners looking for sitters and travelers, in addition to paying €8.25 per month, you have to fill out a profile, showing your national identity document and providing a criminal record certificate , with which it is sought to give a minimum guarantee to the owners who make their houses available.
