House sitting in Ecuador

As a house sitter in Ecuador, you'll have the chance to live like a local while caring for adorable pets when their owners are away. Besides having a furry friend as your new companion, see Ecuador’s impressive sights with free accommodation. From the iconic Amazon rainforest to the Devil's Nose train rides, it's sure to be an adventure of a lifetime.

Explore Quito

If you’re house sitting in Ecuador, stop by Quito: the country’s capital. Did you know you can stand on the line that divides the northern and southern hemispheres?! Find this slightly mind-blowing attraction at the Middle of the World monument. Explore the colonial architecture of Old Town Quito, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Ride the Devil's Nose Train

If you’re looking after a cat in Ecuador and they’re happy curled up at home for a short while, head to Devil’s Nose train. Wind your way through the Andes mountains, but beware… the train negotiates its way around some seriously sharp bends AND big drops.

Visit Quilotoa Lake

Consider yourself a nature lover? If you’re in the Cotopaxi Province of Ecuador, head down to Quilotoa Lake. Famed for its emerald waters in the middle of an active volcano, this natural beauty is one Insta-worthy spot. If you're feeling adventurous, hike the loop trail that goes around the crater rim. Or, if you just want to take in the views, stroll around the lakeside.

Visit the Amazon rainforest

If your house sitting duties allow, the Amazon rainforest is a must. As a house sitter in Ecuador, you'll have the chance to explore this amazing ecosystem and see some of the world's most exotic animals up close. 

Go to the beach

Ecuador is blessed with some seriously beautiful beaches, so if you're a fan of sand and sea, you'll be in your element during your house sitting adventure. Los Frailes Beach is one of the most popular beaches on Ecuador's Pacific coast, along with Ayampe Beach, which sits in the canton of Puerto Lopez. Your leashed four-legged buddy can join you as you explore Mojanda lagoons in Otavalo.
