House Sitting
House sitting saved me over $50k in rent and travel accommodation costs during my first few years in Australia. When I moved to Sydney long term, I switched to paid house sitting and registered my own business. I still take on short, local house sits near my home now!
To learn more about staying in locals' homes for free while they're on holiday (in return for looking after their pets), or to find out how to book a house sitter, take a look at my guides below. To see all my guides on house sitting, click the button.
