House Sitters America has made it totally FREE for homeowners to use our service to attract as many homeowners as possible.

We specialize in house sitting jobs within the USA only. This means we can concentrate on attracting more American homeowners for our registered sitters. (Other housesitting sites cover the US but these are more complex because they are global companies.)

Our website has been developed so that it is simple to use (even for the computer illiterate!).

There are no extra charges or hidden fees. It costs only $30 for 12 months membership (not even the cost of one night's motel accommodation!) and we run your listing 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year!

You can change or update your details at will and as often as you like with no extra charge.

Our aim is to advertise and make ourselves known to as many homeowners across America as we can. We aim to achieve America's number one housesitter's site :-)

'House Sitting as a Vacation'

NB: that's vacation, not vocation! (Though some people may feel they've "had the call!").

If you think about it, there are plenty of good reasons to become a house sitter. A big one for some people is to save the money they'd otherwise be paying for rent, and put it towards a deposit on their own home. This, of course, requires a sit - preferably for a few months or even longer - within travelling distance of their workplace.

Others just want to get away from their customary, and possibly crowded or noisy, environment to write, paint or sculpt without interruption.

Still others sit houses as a way of visiting family members or friends in another city or town, while enjoying free accommodation. Or they do it every so often simply for a change of pace and scene.But more and more singles and families are seeing house sitting as a way to enjoy an affordable holiday, compared to the ruinous costs of spending two or three weeks at a resort, or a beachside hotel, motel or apartments. And accommodation is usually the single most expensive element in the cost of a family vacation, unless you happen to be going overseas, when airfares might just top the bill.

And even then, accommodation is a huge slug.

Whereas for the average family or working single planning a vacation in America, house sitting can provide if not a completely free holiday, then certainly a hugely less expensive one.

Imagine, for example, a family of four wanting to enjoy a west coast holiday, say San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego etc., during one of the school holiday periods. Suppose they live in Chicago, Washington or New York and decide to fly. Depending on the cost of flights, they're probably looking at $400 - $500 per person, a total of $1600 - $2000. It sounds like a lot of money and it is but you will be saving around the same amount again, if not more, on the accommodation costs!

So instead of handing over their credit card at Reception with fingers crossed, or a voucher for their stay which took more than half their holiday pay to purchase, they pull up outside a sunny beach house, or a smart, architect-designed residence in a pleasant boulevard, or even a comfy apartment in the city, knowing there's no more to pay than their normal, everyday expenses.

For the average one or two income family, house-sitting can literally be the difference between a memorable and refreshing holiday wherever they choose to go - be it city, country, mountain or beachside - and staying at home, with all the usual chores to do, then returning to work feeling like they had no break at all.

Then, of course, there are the retirees who can afford to travel and see the country, and have time on their hands, but don't want to tow a van or drive a lumbering motor home. Nor do they want to spend their retirement nest egg unnecessarily. A house sit - or even a series of sits - makes perfect sense for people like this.

If you've never considered it before, it's definitely worth some thought
