My reasons for housesitting is to help others who wish to travel and need their home and pets cared for. I have stored all my worldly possessions and am embarking on this new way of saving my hard earned wages and wish to travel the world eventually too.
I have experience looking after people's homes, very security minded, respect for your privacy, I live locally and have my own transport. I always keep in contact while you are away to keep you informed that all is great.
Many great references from my 3 years of housesitting
