While we usually talk about house sitting from the perspective of house sitters, in this episode we flip the script and talk to pet owners that might want to use house sitters when they go away. We talk about why using house sitters is a win-win-win for you (the pet owner), the house sitter, and most importantly, the pets themselves!

We address all of the common questions and concerns related to trust that we hear from pet owners, including the idea of having a "stranger" in your home. We also share actionable tips for feeling more safe and secure about engaging a house sitter.

If you're a house sitter - don't tune out of this one! We strongly believe that knowing the perspective from the other side is crucial to happy house sitting. Understanding some of the common concerns of pet owners will only make you a better house sitter. Also, you'll be well-equipped to address any of these concerns when talking to pet owners that might be interested in house sitting but aren't sure if they could make the leap!
