It can be hard. Weʼre not going to lie to you, when we first started house sitting we found it hard to get our first sit - just because you are competing against other house sitters and those without references have less of a leg to stand on.

Make sure to include any special instructions your sitter may need (like the code to your house/garage, alarm codes to disarm security, etc.), your contact information including where you plan to stay and emergency contact information in case they canʼt get a hold of you, like a neighbour or a family member/friend.

House sitting costs range from $13 to $45 per night, with high-end services reaching up to $77 per day. Additional charges may apply for pet care, gardening, or pool maintenance. Rates depend on stay duration, number of pets, house size, additional services (such as cleaning, gardening), and travel expenses.

You could advertise your house sitting services by word of mouth, by company email, by taking out a small classified advert in a local paper or by sticking your own advert on public notice boards. All of these methods may attract the attention of a local home owner and result in an offer of a house sitting assignment.
