House Sitting is becoming more and more popular amongst travelers. Every day, hundreds of new profiles are getting set-up in the hope to travel and stay in a new place for free. And because of the rising growth of these profiles, it becomes harder to land that house sitting opportunity you always wanted. But there’s a way to stand out from the thousands of average profiles on these house sitting websites! The key to success is having a killer house sitting profile.
Our last house sitting assignment was probably the best we could have. We did it here in Australia on a family run cattle farm, where we learned a lot of new skills and had heaps of new experiences. Not only did we have to occupy ourselves with the pregnant cows, but we also started bottle feeding two newborn lambs!
Checking twice a day to see if the pregnant cows haven’t calved already, making sure that they can’t escape the multiple huge paddocks because of fallen trees over fences after a storm, and doing all this by motorbike. But also checking the flock of sheep, and even bottle feeding newly born baby lambs. This isn’t an ordinary house sitting assignment. This is probably the best house sitting experience we could wish for!
