Wanted to go on vacation but worried about leaving your home and pets unattended? By joining the Workaway community as a host-- FOR FREE (!), you can connect with house sitters and travellers from all around the world who are ready to offer their helping hands in exchange for a place to stay. Whether it’s taking your dogs on their daily walks, tending to your herb garden or just keeping your home secure while you are on your extended trip, having a house sitter gives you the peace of mind that your home, pets and plants will be safe and sound, just the way you left them — if not better!
