A New Year, A New Start: Discover the Joys of Being a Homesitter
As we step into a fresh new year, many of us look for ways to embrace new experiences, explore different places, or even find a balance between staying active and having time to relax and enjoy life.
Being a homesitter offers it all and is a unique opportunity to enjoy a change of scenery, spend time with pets, and experience the comforts of home – all while providing a vital service.
Being a homesitter allows you to explore new areas of the country without the hassle or expense of booking accommodation. Whether it’s a charming countryside cottage or a bustling city apartment, every homesit brings its own charm.
For animal lovers, the role is especially rewarding and offers a fulfilling sense of purpose. Knowing you’re helping someone by caring for their home and pets gives you a unique role in their lives, creating connections and friendships that often last well beyond the assignment.
For one actively retired couple, Sue and Malcolm Horsup were keen to stay busy and travel around the UK more. They didn’t want to sit back and do nothing, so they became home and pet sitters with award winning, Homesitters Ltd.
Sue says, “We love every aspect of the job which has made retirement life even more enjoyable and rewarding. We still get to travel as much as we like but also get to be around our favourite animals which allows other people to get away with real peace of mind that their pets are being well looked after.”
As well as a modest remuneration, homesitters get a food allowance and mileage. Many of our homesitters use this extra money to enjoy occasional days out, boost their pension pots or put it towards a holiday fund.
As all our homesitters are directly employed, there is a sound support network in place for when they are on a sit. Our 24-hour support ensures that if a homesitter falls ill or has a personal emergency, a replacement is quickly provided. We also have employer’s liability insurance for all our employees and a client liaison executive who regularly communicates on a homesit to ensure everything runs smoothly when you are on assignment.
Beyond the joy of travel and pets, homesitting offers practical benefits too. It’s an excellent way to save on utility bills as you’ll be staying in someone else’s home, making it a cost-effective option for retirees.
If you’re ready to make 2025 a year of new opportunities and are looking for a lifestyle filled with new experiences, companionship, and adventure, please get in touch.
