Dogs or cats? Which is better🐶🐱

Okay, so Austin is a total “cat magnet”. He grew up with cats his entire life and he just gives off the energy that they seem to love. We’ve had owners comment about how shy their cat is only for the cat to be in Austin’s lap within minutes!

🐱 All that said, Austin is more of a cat person.

When asked what his favorite thing about cats is Austin said, “Cats live on their own terms. They are very independent, but also very affectionate when they want to be. I love that balance!”

🐶Jori on the other hand is obsessed with dogs.

She has been surrounded by dogs since day one, especially German Shorthairs during her childhood and early teenage years. Where as Austin is more chill and down to earth, Jori is playful and energetic. She also wears her emotions on her sleeve just like dogs, so dogs tend to gravitate towards her.

When asked what her favorite quality about dogs is she said, “My favorite thing about dogs is that they love with their entire being. Their personalities are huge but and their hearts are even bigger!”

So, which person are you? A dog person or a cat person? 🐶🐱 You can only choose one (mean of us we know🤣) !

This is the second installment of Meet the Housesitters. We interviewed Jori and Austin of Nomads and Pawpads.

06/18/2023

Just enjoying the view. 💙
Some house sits we like to get out and explore, other times our favorite place to be is right at home with the pets. This house sit was one of those. Our favorite time of day was our mornings. Our days started with peaceful walks through the forest and coffee on the back porch with a view. This house sit has been so relaxing, and the pups have been a dream. 🐾😴

06/10/2023

We’ll take all the pup snuggles please!🥰

Shadow and Rocket have the sweetest personalities and wonderful temperaments. Not to mention the cutest faces ever.

We are always stoked to get back to house sitting after a few weeks off. And when we get lucky with pets like these two, it just makes it that much sweeter.💙

Have you ever seen a face this precious? 😍

We’re still not over Jackie and her puppy snuggles. Take us back to Singapore!

Breaking news in the house sitter community!

CEO just announced that they are working on long-awaited changes to their review system. Although specifics about the new system and when it will be released have yet to be confirmed, here is what we know:

Historically, Trusted Housesitter’s review system has made it difficult to leave an honest review. This is because a submitted review is immediately visible to the other party, so users are often concerned that if they leave a negative review, the other party will retaliate and write a negative review in response.

For years, users have been voicing a need for a new review model, similar to Airbnb's, where reviews are only visible after both parties have submitted them.
It’s rumored that this is the new system they are working on implementing. We believe that this change would encourage more honesty and transparency within the house sitting community, which is crucial for the safety and well-being of everyone involved in the exchange.

Additionally, while house sitters are rated on 5 categories, home owners are only rated on a single overall rating of 1-5 stars. We are hopeful that the platform will be adding additional categories for pet sitters to rate pet owners on, such as “pet behavior” and “accuracy of listing”, further helping to level the playing fields for both sides of the exchange.

As we said, details of the exact changes to the new review system have yet to be released, but we will keep you posted on further updates.

𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲!

The CEO also announced additional changes to other areas of the site as well. New search filters will now give sitters the ability to filter if a home has a desk, king-size bed, Wi-Fi, bathtub, and label whether or not the listing is accessible via public transport.

House sitters will also now be required to provide a reference before being eligible to apply for house sits. Member support has also been reported to have increased by 50%.

What do you think of ’s new changes? Let us know in the comments below, and don't forget to share this with a fellow member of the house sitting community.

Today we are celebrating the most incredible person I know! Happy birthday Austin!!🎉🎈🥳

If you know Austin in real life, you know that he is a one of a kind soul. There is no one else on this earth like him.

Something that amazes me most about Austin is that he is actually quite reserved. He’s not shy by any means, he is very personable and loves to meet new people. But he’s a listener. He’s not the type to brag about himself. He doesn’t “command” the room. Instead, he will spend the whole evening asking questions about you, never talking about himself unless you ask. I’ve always admired this quality about him. Its a perfect representation of him as a person. Caring, selfless, and thoughtful. Constantly learning, growing, and looking outward, rather than looking inward.

Austin is the sort of man that you look up to. He inspires people to be better. He inspires ME to be better every day. I’ve never met someone as willing to lend a helping hand as Austin. He’s the last guy to walk through the door but the first to hold it open for someone else. He cares deeply about the people closest to him and we would do anything for them. He is also hilarious! Give him the floor and he’s have you doubling over with laughter! He is driven, and passionate about many things. Besides the ones you know already, he is also passionate about gardening, baseball, and education. He values family above all else and we would do anything for them.

Austin, you are my best friend, my partner, and my rock! When life feels unsteady, you keep me grounded. Your kind nature and consideration for others is something to be admired. I’m a 10 times the person I was two and a half years ago because of you! I’m so grateful for this life we have created together, to be wandering this beautiful world with you! I can’t imagine sharing my life and these memories with anyone else. I love you forever and always! Happy birthday Austin.❤️

House sitting isn’t only for pet lovers. 🌱

Most sits will require some level of plant, lawn, or garden care. So if you have a green thumb,
you will have an advantage over other applicants!!

How do you know if plant care is required? All listings should provide that information, but if they don’t you should inquire with the owner.

On occasion we’ve seen house sits that don’t have any pets, they are just looking for someone to keep after their home and water their plants. Most house sitting sites have made it easy to find these opportunities by providing a “no pets” filter!

So whether you are allergic to pet dander, nervous about pet care, or you’re just wanting to practice your gardening skills- there might still be a perfect opportunity for you out there!😊

P.s. in this instance we were helping out a family member voluntarily. Cutting giant palms isn’t a common responsibility for pet owners to ask of you just so you are aware!🤣

New branding alert by !🐾

We are so excited to share our new branding with you all! Doing a rebrand is something that we’ve had on our to do list for long time, but we’ve honestly been nervous to take the leap. Branding is an investment and we were afraid we wouldn’t get an end product that aligned with our goals and expectations. We are so glad that we invested in because WOW! Julia absolutely blew us away with this rebrand! From the logos, to the color scheme, fonts, and more; everything was right in line with what we imagined nomadsandpawpads to be. 🙌🏼 We are so excited to give our business a design that looks and feels completely “us” and to establish consistency across our platforms. 😊

If you or anyone you know is in the market for a graphic designer, we can’t recommend enough!!

We’re going to be vulnerable for a moment. For the last two years we have made decisions that society doesn’t agree with, and we have been questioned and doubted every step of the way for it. We chose to quit our jobs, and put “real life” on hold to pursue our dreams of traveling the world while caring for pets. Nearly everyone thought we were crazy. It has absolutely been a struggle. From day 1 we’ve had to overcome many financial, mental, and emotional hurdles. We are still constantly judged for our choices and everyone seems to think that they know better. We chose to stay true to ourselves and to our goals. It completely paid off. Now we are living the life that we always dreamed of, surrounded by an amazing community that understands and uplifts us. We achieved our ultimate goal: the freedom to make our own choices every single day. We aren’t sharing this side of our story for pity or for glory. We are only sharing this in hopes that it encourages someone who needs to hear it. Your journey is your own! Don’t let anyone scare you into thinking you have to be like everyone else. The next time you find yourself doubting your choices because of what the people around you are saying, remember this: no one could possibly know how your story will end, because it’s never been written before. You are the only author that matters, and one day, when you’ve made your dreams come true, you will share the story that makes others wish they had dared to choose differently too. . . . . . #ownyourjourney #petsitterlife #daretobedifferent #nomadictravel #travelstory #petlovers #encourageothers #nomadlife #beyourownhero #nomadsandpawpads #dailymotivation #traveler

We knew we need to cut down on accommodation costs if we wanted to afford full time travel, but we also knew hostels were not going to work. We needed space, privacy, and security. Then we found house sitting exchanges! Now we trade free pet care for free, comfortable home stays around the world. We love every moment spent with the pets, and we have the power to choose sits that align with our travel goals. Want to learn how we started?

A series of unfortunate events: Pet Sitters Edition 🐕‍🦺🥴 #petsitterlife #travelingpetsitter #travelvlog #aseriesofunfortunateevents #travelgonewrong #bearencounter

Are you surprised to hear that most of our sits in Europe have been planned within a 2 week window?😳 The abundance of sits here in combination with the affordability of transportation is why we are able to plan our sits so spontaneously. ✈️🏡 We also do our best to select sits that allow for some flexibility with our arrival and departure dates, which is another reason we can string our dates along so well! Why don’t we just plan sits out?🤔 We end up with gaps in the first place are because we are selective applicants. We only apply to sits that we feel are a truly good fit for us, the pets, and owners. Therefore, when the perfect sit comes along, we don’t like to pass on it. Even if it leaves a gap in our schedule. If the odds of finding a sit are in our favor (like they are in Europe) we’d rather take the chance than pass on a well suited match. We also enjoy the travel opportunities that open up in those last few weeks of planning. They tend to take us to some really wonderful places!☺️ Would we reccomend this for everyone? Definitely not! This may work for us, but there is a risk involved with traveling this way. If you don’t get a sit your only other option is to pay for accommodation. You need to be sure that you are financially able and willing to take that chance. What kind of sitter are you? Are you a planner, or more spontaneous like us?🐶🐱 . . . #housesittingadventures #housesittinglife #petsittingtips #travelinghousesitter #traveltips #cheaptravel #traveltips #traveltipsandtricks #budgettravel #nomadict #alternativetravel #travelbetter #worldtraveler #traveltribe #budgettraveler #portugaltravel #accomodationfree #travelfree #affordabletravel #alternativeliving #petsofinstagram #liveabroad #travelinspiration #housesittingtips #travelabroad #internationaltravel #nomadsandpawpads

This is why we love house sitting. Jackie is the most loving little pup in the whole world, and we have been gifted the opportunity to spend our time with her in an amazing destination. It’s honestly hard to imagine our lives without house sitting. We don’t know when we will stop house sitting and settle into a more “traditional lifestyle.” But after the experiences we’ve had, it’s hard to imagine that we will ever give it up for good. We’re hooked for life! How about you?
