We know you love your pup or kitty, but were you aware you could translate that adoration into free places to stay in amazing locations around the world?

Websites like TrustedHousesitters.com and Housesitters.com facilitate free swaps where pet and travel lovers can visit far-off destinations and care for other travelers’ homes and animals while they’re away. In other words, if they have to leave their beloved pets at home while they travel, you get to stay in their houses for free, as long as you take care of the pets.

House and petsitting abroad basically have all the benefits of Airbnb, but without the rental costs and with the added bonus of furry friends to hang out with.

So how does it work? Just like any online travel network, you have to make a profile to tell potential hosts all about you and your experience with pets – you want to prove why they should trust you with their best canine or feline friends. Once you’re up and running, all that’s left is to find the right fit for you. Then you’re practically living for free all around the world (because we can’t really call playing with lovable creatures work).

So what are you waiting for? Get ready to explore Scotland with a sheepdog or hang out in Kotor with some cats.
