What are house sitters

Imagine traveling at your own pace and sitting in a house near the beach while blogging and sipping on some coffee. Some people take these easy travel accomodations by doing house sitting-- getting paid to stay in someone's home while the owners are away. On occasions they will leave behind pets for you to pet sit or you can just stay in the home and water their plants, check their mail and keep the house running for them while they are away. They are many house sitting websites that connect you to house sits in North America only or even in parts of Europe, Latin America, new Zealand and Australia. Some of these websites are free but others require you to pay an annual subscription to contact owners. Some of the places you can sign up to are
