House sitting changed our lives. Ever since the very first sit we did on the tiny Caribbean Island of Grenada back in 2014, we’ve always been amazed at how luxurious some of these homes are and we still pinch ourselves that we not only stayed for free, but in some cases, were sometimes even paid to house sit.

This was a really serendipitous one. We had just started house sitting about a year before this and our good friends knew we were house sitting because we were posting about it on our social media.
