Since 2013, I have been a professional house and pet sitter. My 50+ assignments have taken me around the globe, from Turkey to France to Japan. The type of house sitting I do is part of the sharing economy, where pets receive free care and sitters stay for free. The length of my stays has ranged from five days to five months. It's a brilliant way to travel and live sustainably, and especially useful for pet owners who travel for several months out of the year. I am now a consultant for home and pet owners interested in finding sitters, and for artists and creatives interested in sitting.
