WEBSITE OF THE DAY: Trusted Housesitters

Holidays. Not cheap these days, are they? There are flights, airport parking, taxes, hotel rooms, mini bar bills, excursions, suntan lotion, souvenirs and everything else you end up spending cash on.

And on top of all that there’s the worry that while you’re sunning yourself on some exotic far-flung beach, some thieving little hoodied scrote is rifling through your things and spraying graffiti on your carpets and walls.

That’s why www.trustedhousesitters.com might come in handy - on both counts, too.

Here you can find somebody to come and look after your place while you jet off - particularly useful if you have pets - or if you’re looking for a way to see some different parts of the world, without having to spend a fortune on accommodation. Properties range in size and location, but there are some amazing opportunities to see the world for less to be found here. And all while providing a valuable service.

Everybody involved here is fully vetted, so no weirdos or looters will show up on your doorstep.
