House Sitting Travel is the first podcast on the topic of house sitting to travel the world. In this method of house sitting, house sitters provide pet and home care in exchange for accommodation. Neither house sitter nor pet owner pays for this exchange - it's a win-win for both sides! Hosts Sam and Veren of Alternative Travelers bring the house sitting community together in podcast form for the first time, featuring inspiring interviews with globe trotting house sitters as well as tips, advice, and stories to help you live your dream life through house sitting.

12: The Dreaded Bad House Sit AKA Every House Sitter's Worst Fear

Tuesday, June 15, 2021 • Duration 48:33

The fear of the bad house sit is one that is on every prospective house sitters mind. They're like the boogey monsters of house sitting!

But never fear: with the right strategies, you can avoid bad house sits. While we have certainly experienced a spectrum of house sitting experiences, we've never experienced a true horror story in all our many years of house sitting.

In this episode, we share all the things that you should keep in mind as a house sitter to avoid potentially negative experiences. We'll talk about why the "bad house sit" is highly subjective: one person's nightmare could be another person's dream. We'll also share why listening to your gut and having the right mindset is key to all things house sitting, especially when determining if a house sit is right for you.

10: Is TrustedHousesitters a Scam?

Tuesday, June 1, 2021 • Duration 30:06

"Paying for a house sitting website? That sounds like a scam!"

It's a common refrain that we hear time and again. It usually happens when people ask how we house sit, and we tell them that we find all of our house sits through TrustedHousesitters, the biggest house sitting membership website. It's also one of the most common searches that land people on our TrustedHousesitters Review, one of the most popular articles on our website.

While the title refers to TrustedHousesitters (aka THS), this question could be applied to paying for any house sitting website (THS is just the biggest and most frequently asked about). So today's episode is an in-depth answer to this question. We talk about why paying for a website is actually a good thing, the myth of free, the importance of having the right mindset, and more.

We hope this episode helps quell any mistrust and fear behind joining a house sitting websites, which have been the only way that we've been able to have countless house sitting adventures since we first started in 2016!
