How to house sit in a foreign language destination Ultimately, our top five critical tips for house and pet sitting in a foreign language destination are: Know where you’re staying. Make sure you have the address written down and with you both on your phone and on your person. This is important in case you you lose your phone or the battery dies. Make sure you know what the emergency services number is in the country where you’re staying, e.g. 000, 111, 999. Download key apps before you head off so they’re ready to go on the ground. For example, Google Translate, and your favourite language app. Always ask what you should do if you get locked out, and what to do if the pet gets sick. Make sure you know what the plan is! Also that there are emergency contacts who will be able to communicate with you. Just practice: give it a go, say hello, or hola, as the case may be.
