House sitting in 2026: better sits, more travel, more freedom

One thing our latest newsletter analysis made very clear is that many of you are still most interested in the practical side of house sitting – whether you’re just starting out, looking for better sits, or trying to use house sitting as a bridge into more travel and flexibility.

And honestly, that makes sense.

House sitting can help reduce accommodation costs, give you a temporary home base, and make travel feel more doable – especially if you’re also building remote work or freelance income alongside it.

But like anything, the better prepared you are, the better your experience tends to be. A strong profile, clear communication, good references and knowing where to find the right sits can make a huge difference.

That’s why this week’s main resource is our updated guide:

​Master House Sitting Essentials – 2026 update​

It’s useful if you’re new to house sitting, coming back to it after a break, or simply want to refresh how you’re approaching it this year. It includes practical steps to get started, tips for building trust, and an up-to-date list of where to actually find house sits.

👉It’s currently discounted for this community here, just $3!

If house sitting is part of your travel or remote-work plan for 2026, this is a simple, inexpensive way to get organised before your next sit.

House Sitting as a Family

Full-time travel & worldschooling guide

This week’s video is a great one for anyone wondering whether house sitting can work beyond solo travel or couples.

We look at what it can be like to house sit as a family, including how it fits with full-time travel, worldschooling and creating a more flexible life together.

​

Even if you’re not travelling with children, it’s a useful reminder that house sitting can look different for everyone – and that there’s no single “right” way to build a life around travel.
