Dale and Greg: what it's like to be part of the pack...

Ever wonder what it's like to be part of the TrustedHousesitters pack? Here's your chance to find out from two sitter members, Dale and Greg.

Dale and Greg's story so far...

Greg and Dale had been planning a ‘new life’ for a while. Then, when they joined as sitter members in 2018, they were finally able to make their travel dreams come true. They sold their belongings and set out to house and pet sit their way across the world full time. Here's what they had to say when we caught up a year later:

“House and pet sitting keeps us both entertained and engaged. We can no longer imagine travelling any other way. We always wanted to be a little ‘off the beaten path’, ‘living in real neighbourhoods’ rather than tourist areas, enjoying the local culture, activities and cuisine. 

Owners have been remarkable, sharing not only their homes and fur families, but their ideas and insights about how to best enjoy their community. We explore the world one home, fur family and community at a time. We can no longer imagine travelling any other way” - Dale and Greg, sitters, Waterloo, ON, Canada

Dale and Greg's special story is just one of thousands being made by members around the world, every day. From filling a pet-shaped hole in people's hearts to helping them travel to places they've always dreamed of, house and pet sitting can be truly life changing.

You can find even more first-hand accounts from both sitter and owner members on the stories section of our blog. Already feeling inspired and ready to get started on your own house and pet sitting journey? Be sure to join today — we can't wait to hear your life-changing story too.
