About Us: House Sitting – Your Trusted Companion for All Things House Sitting
Our Journey Begins (2012)
House Sitting was born out of a passion to fill an information gap in the online world—a dedicated space for all things related to house sitting, a unique and growing trend in the hospitality industry. Founded in 2012 by a team of tech-savvy travelers, we set out to create a community that celebrates and supports those who embrace the art of house sitting.
