“I found Saga to be incredibly generous with her suggestions and templates, which supported me, step by step to set up an appealing profile on Trusted Housesitters. Saga gave me useful feedback on the profile I set up, and encouraged me when I found the process daunting. I almost gave up because I was worried about my lack of experience, but Saga suggested I highlight my energy healing skills at the top of my profile, telling me that pet owners would appreciate that for their animals. It would not have occurred to me to emphasize but Saga knows the lay of the land. She was right. My trauma healing skills make me stand out, and I have landed most of my sits because householders wanted someone with empathy and trauma skills to take care of their pets who are rescues or have PTSD. As a result, I have completed six petsitting gigs, staying in some my ideal locations for free, which allows me to pursue my digital nomad/climate nomad lifestyle, and build up my remote clientele. I appreciate DOORWAYS’ philosophy of digital nomads staying in existing homes and using Airbnb less. It is efficient and it supports healthy cities and neighborhoods. At the beginning, I was not sure it would be worth all the prep and trouble, but it was! I am glad Saga encouraged me to persevere. I highly recommend DOORWAYS. It’s a great service that has enabled me, a woman who travels alone, to safely and economically explore some beautiful places.”

“DOORWAYS took the effort and stress out of finding a house and cat sitter. Saga came back to me very quickly with someone who ended up being a perfect fit. This is definitely a service I will use again and one I have already recommended to others.”

“House sitting appeals to me as a good jumping-off point to start traveling around a region of the world I might not have experienced yet. Pet-sitting is a bonus since they are unfortunately not allowed in my building in Chicago.”

“I moved to Sydney without a job to come to, just wanted to move to a different city. So far DOORWAYS has made that so much easier!”
