Your number one priority when house sitting in Ecuador will be taking care of the pets. Daily walks, mealtimes, and lots of cuddles will be top of the agenda as most house sits include a pet. Aside from this, house sitters in Ecuador need to keep the home clean and tidy and send regular updates to the pet parents about their precious pet pals.
At TrustedHousesitters, our members are driven by a genuine love of pets, not getting paid. They exchange passionate pet care for free accommodation, gaining a wealth of experiences and memories to last a lifetime.
Thinking about exploring South America’s west coast? If Ecuador (or should we say - Equator) is on your travel bucket list, it’s safe to say your trip won’t be short of discovery, adventure and of course, cute pets.
Yup, by house sitting in Ecuador, you’ll get to stay in homes across the country, caring for pets in the comfort of their home, exchanging nothing with pet parents but trust. That’s Ecuadorian heritage sites, hiking, and a whole new furry friendship group at your fingertips.
Take a look below to find out what house sitting in South America is like for our members, and what you could be getting up to in the orchid capital of the world.
Take a look at what our members, Jess and Dani, AKA the Globetrotter Girls have to say about caring for pets and traveling in South America.
“As digital nomads and bloggers for our site GlobetrotterGirls.com, we balance a lifestyle of travel and work, so housesitting is perfect [...]. Without this housesit, we would have never experienced what is truly part of the way of life here in the capital.”
City life is something else at the best of times with a local furry friend showing you around, but an old town that’s an entire UNESCO World Heritage Site? It’s got our attention.
That’s right, by exploring our Ecuador house sitting opportunities, you could be wandering the streets of Quito - one of the best preserved cities of South America.
From the Galapagos islands (which inspired Darwin’s theory of evolution, no less), to Yasuni National Park (AKA the Amazon rainforest) and the Andes mountains, the country is brimming with exotic species and rich scenery.
If hiking is your thing and your house sitting duties allow, tread the crater rim of Quilotoa Lake and soak up the views lakeside or explore the Mojanda lagoons in Otavalo.
And if something more laid back is your style, head to a dog-friendly beach on Ecuador’s Pacific coast.
So, are you up for catching a glimpse of South America’s exotic species, soaking up some unreal scenery and making a few new furry pals? Great - get your Ecuador house sitting adventure started and join our community of like-minded pet-loving travelers.
