HouseSitMatch

House-sitting is a growing global trend in a world which offers real benefits. They offer their members a range of guidelines and legally approved template contracts and documents to enable a smooth process.

The founder of this business, Lamia Walker, says she came up to this idea because of traveling and adventure. This job allows you to “lap up the waves of the French Riviera, enjoy the poppy kissed fields of Tuscany and pet-sit in the urban landscapes of London, Paris and Florence amongst other places.”

Housesitters can:

• take a holiday without costly accommodation
• live like a local – have a more authentic holiday experience
• alleviate the burden of paying rent while building a new house
• indulge a love of animals
• familiarise yourself with a new area you are considering moving to
• time out while recovering from a relationship break-up
• house-sit just to save money

Homeowners can rest assured their property will be cared for:

• home kept secure in your absence
• property and garden lovingly-tended
• beloved pets relax in their own home
• pool maintained and kept clean
• you save money by not having to pay kennelling fees
