For sitters: Im an academic who will be needing accommodation for a very specific period of time while Im on sabbatical. What are my chances of getting a house sitting assignment to fit my schedule?
House sitting is a fickle game by its very nature. Finding a house sitting opportunity that approximately matches your requirements may be possible if you advertise for an assignment well in advance. However, you may need to work around the home owner’s requirements by arranging some other accommodation at either end of the assignment. If your need for accommodation is urgent I recommend using the website http://www.sabbaticalhomes.com, which is very well linked into the global academic community. They describe themselves as ‘…the leading worldwide internet-based directory for home exchange, rental and tenant listings opportunities devoted to serving the academic community…providing a listing service to academics worldwide who temporarily need to offer or search accommodations for rent, exchange or house-sitting’. While their emphasis is on home exchange and short-term rentals as well as house sitting you may need to exchange your home or pay for accommodation to find something sui
