Why and When to update your current location?
International and Interstate house sitters can update their location to prepare for their next Housesit. E.g., A Housesitter may be housesitting in Paris, France and update this location to be ready for another housesit in France.
Our members housesit for many different reasons. Some House sitters want to housesit to experience a new location before committing to purchase; they also may want to save on rent at their current location. This is more relevant for long-term housesits.
