Other types of housing arrangements

Ever heard of “petsitting” or “housesitting”? These free-rent-for-a-service arrangements aren’t that common in Canada but they are getting more and more popular.

Websites like Housesitters CanadaNomador, or Trusted Housesitters list housesitting and petsitting opportunities throughout Canada. Some of them require potential sitters to buy a membership to sign up.

Your services may be needed for a few days or up to a few months. Typical tasks include caring for the place, pet(s) and plants. You can also be responsible for general housekeeping and snow shovelling (welcome to Canada!).

Housesitting can be a fun way to live rent-free for a little while but it’s not usually a permanent solution and you have to leave as soon as the original occupants return home.

Amoureuse des Etats-Unis, de l'Utah et du voyage en train, j'ai passé 7 mois à Montréal en 2010, et j'en ai profité pour découvrir la Nouvelle-Angleterre en long, en large et en travers !
Mon coup de cœur avec Montréal date de 2008, et d'un mois estival là-bas... Depuis, je ne fais qu'y retourner !

J'ai réalisé deux tours des Etats-Unis (& Canada) en 2012 puis en 2014. Plusieurs mois sur les routes, c'est formateur... De retour à Montréal en 2019-2020 pour un PVT, avant de raccrocher !
Sur PVTistes.net, j'aime partager mon expérience sur le forum, dans des dossiers thématiques ou même en personne ! Vous me croiserez sûrement à Lyon, ma ville de cœur.
