In this episode, we chat with solo house sitter Ryan Patey. So much of the discussion around solo house sitting centers on solo female house sitting (check out episode 3 with Kelsey Frey for more on that!). But what about the solo dude house sitters out there? Is it possible to house sit as a guy alone? Sam speaks with Ryan about exactly this topic, which has lead to some interesting experiences around the world, like having to pretend to be a family member of a pet owner!
We talk also about:
- How Ryan first started house sitting in his native Canada
- Experiencing cultural differences house sitting in Turkey
- House sitting around Southeast Asia
- Exploring different pars of Saigon through house sitting
- The difficult parts of house sitting
- Funny parts of house sitting (aka poop stories)
- His book, This Job is Sh*t
- much more!
