Will you be traveling for a few days but can't take your pet along with you?
Is your new project at work requiring overtime from you?
Or do you want your pet to socialize more and go out on supervised walks more often?
We have an excellent solution for you.
Hovos is a popular platform connecting pet owners with travelers volunteering to perform one or more services in exchange for free food and accommodation.
In what ways can a volunteer take care of your pet in your absence?
Hovos is a popular platform connecting pet owners with pet sitters. As an owner, you get dedicated pet sitting service from volunteers who love animals and have experience caring for them.
Pet sitters may also assist with other small tasks around the house when you're away.
This includes bringing in the newspaper or mail, opening the blinds during the day and closing them at night, switching the lights on and off as needed, and cleaning up after cooking or using the kitchen.
Responsible pet owners rely on pet sitters to manage and provide company to their dogs, cats and birds when on vacation or when they need an extra pair of hands.
The advantages of pet sitting are:
The smart solution is to find a house sitter who can live in your house and take care of your beloved pet. Basically, the sitter will be providing your pet the same care, attention and supervision as you.
As a host you will learn to cooperate with and take care of your volunteer(s). A host will also learn more about the country, background, culture and lifestyle of their travelers – it’s a great experience and exchange.

Are you an animal lover and/or own or have owned a pet?
We encourage you to consider pet sitting in exchange for free accommodation and food. If you truly enjoy the company of pets, this job will be a fun activity instead of a chore. Sign up if you have the heart and willingness to take care of your host's pet with compassion and zest.
House sitting has become massively popular among savvy travelers seeking to really immerse in the culture of new destinations whilst also saving money on the side.
With a place to stay and a kitchen at your disposal, you can enjoy financial flexibility and make the most of a truly 'budget' vacation.
For many of our young volunteers, the chance at house and pet sitting has been an amazing learning and enjoyable experience. It has allowed them to form friendships and relationships with humans and animals. If you're an animal person, sign up with Hovos now!
