A lot of people hear about pet sitting and immediately think: free accommodation, cute animals, dream lifestyle.
And sometimes… it really does look like that.
In this episode of the Solo Female Travelers Podcast, Mar sits down with her longtime friend Sabrina, a blogger, digital nomad, and long time pet sitter who has completed nearly 200 pet sits around the world over the last 12 years.
From luxury condos in Singapore to cat sits in Bangkok, Bali, and Vietnam, Sabrina shares what this lifestyle actually looks like day to day, beyond the perfectly curated Instagram version.
We talk about how she got started, how beginners can land their first sit even without reviews, the questions you absolutely need to ask before agreeing to stay in someone’s home, and the red flags she learned to spot after some very memorable experiences.
While some pet sits come with rooftop pools, sweet cats, and fully stocked fridges… others involve seven cats peeing everywhere, hidden cameras, or unexpectedly being left alone with two teenagers.
We also get into digital nomad life, community, loneliness, traveling with only hand luggage, and why pet sitting works best for people who genuinely love animals, not just people looking for a free place to stay.
If you’ve ever wondered what pet sitting is really like, how people actually make this lifestyle work long-term, or whether it could work for you too, this episode is a very honest look behind the scenes.
