🗽House Sitting in NYC 🗽 We're back in New Y

🗽House Sitting in NYC 🗽
We're back in New York, kitty sitting for two precious furballs in Brooklyn 😻
New York has always been our home base and we try to return a few times a year, if not at least once. Sam's got her whole family here and we've both got many close friends here as well.
House sitting lets us come back to visit our community here while still having our own space. Everyone we know lives in small 1 bedroom apartments (city living!) and let's not even talk about how expensive it is to pay for accommodations in NYC. There's no way we'd be able to see our loved ones so frequently if it wasn't for house sitting!
That being said, NYC is without a doubt the most competitive place we've ever house sat. And that's with us being locals! We get so many messages from sitters saying they'd love to house sit in NYC, and we say to go for it but be aware that it isn't easy to land a house sit in the Big Apple.
We have a lot to say about house sitting in NYC, so much that we wrote a blog post about it (link in bio). We'll likely do s future podcast episode on it as well so if you've got questions about house sitting here, please leave them in the comments so we can answer them! ❣️
Have you been to NYC or would you like to house sit here?

Meow! Have you heard? House Sitting Travel just wr

Meow! Have you heard? House Sitting Travel just wrapped its first season last week!
We've had an amazing first season with incredible guests and great advice episodes to help you on your house sitting journey.
We'll be taking a break between seasons to rest, reflect, and come back better than ever. We'd love to get your feedback on what you like and what we could improve on, so make sure to fill out our quick listener survey when you get a chance!
But don't worry, we won't be entirely radio silent. Make sure hour subscribed to the show as we'll likely be doing some quick episodes here and there from our summer house sitting adventures. And I'll be sure to post here too.
Would love to hear what your favorite episode was from season one! 👇
