  • You’ve read a few blogs or joined a site, but the process still feels overwhelming.

  • You’re unsure how to create a profile that gets picked, or what to say when applying.

Introducing:

How to House Sit Your Way Around the World

This course gives you the clarity, tools, and confidence to start house sitting, even if you’ve never done it before, haven’t travelled in years, or don’t think you “qualify.”

With over 10 years of experience living and travelling full-time as a digital nomad, I’ve completed sits across multiple countries, cared for pets of all shapes and sizes, and built a lifestyle that lets me explore the world without spending a fortune on accommodation.

Now I’m showing you exactly how to do the same.

You’ll learn how to:

  • ✅ Choose the right platform for your needs and goals

  • ✅ Set up a standout profile that builds trust (even with no experience)

  • ✅ Write application messages that get noticed and accepted

  • ✅ Avoid common rookie mistakes that could make or break a sit

  • ✅ Build a review portfolio that opens doors to better, longer sits worldwide

Whether you're looking for weekend breaks or long-term stays around the world, this course gives you everything you need to get started with confidence.

My Story

Hi, I’m Jo Barnes.

I’ve spent the last 15 years travelling the world full time while building multiple 6- and 7-figure online businesses. But one of the most unexpected joys of this lifestyle has been house sitting.

It’s given us the chance to slow down, care for wonderful animals, live in beautiful homes, and experience places in a way that feels grounded and real, not rushed or touristy.

Like many of you, I didn’t grow up with a tech background or a clear roadmap. I just wanted a more flexible life, one that gave me the freedom to explore the world on my own terms.

House sitting became a key part of how we made that life work, not just for saving money, but for building deeper connections and feeling more at home wherever we go.

In this course, I’m sharing everything I’ve learned so you can get started with confidence and create your own version of this freedom-filled lifestyle, whether that’s house sitting part-time, full-time, or as a stepping stone to something even bigger.
