Housesitting in Costa Rica
What is housesitting?
Housesitting is rapidly becoming a popular alternative way to travel.
Essentially, it’s an exchange of services between volunteers (housesitters) and homeowners. The housesitters live on-site to look after the owner’s pets and provide security for their home while they’re away for a holiday or business trip. In return, the sitters typically enjoy rent-free accommodation.
Usually, the cost of utilities such as gas and electricity, are covered by the host, too. So, for the housesitter, any financial commitment is normally limited to transportation and the cost of food and entertainment. Where a financial contribution is required by the host it’s usually stipulated as such in their listing.
For more information, you can read our extensive guide to the world of housesitting.

THANKS FOR READING
Hi, we're Ian and Nicky, an English couple on a voyage of discovery around the world, and this blog is designed to reflect what we see, think and do. Actually, we'd like to think it also provides information, entertainment and inspiration for other “mature” travellers, too. So please feel free to pour yourself a glass of something suitably chilled and take a look around.
