General information that is pretty common sense, not something one could train for in a brief explanation of house sitting. As a retired Buiilding inspector and construction supervisor I have worked hand in hand with builders, owners, realtors and investors. This sounds like fun. I think the details are important and looking forward to learning more.

Hadn't heard of "house sitting" before but a friend mentioned it and so I researched ways of getting started. I looked at the available resources online but none were as comprehensively put together as this course. Don't be fooled by the bite size videos - there's nearly 3 hours of valuable information and download resources. I've already signed up with a few websites and now I'm looking forward to finding my first house sit. I feel confident that what I've learned here will give me the great head start Vanessa and Ian promised. Thanks guys!

Well-organized, clear presentation full of thoughtful information and accompanied by a number of downloadable resources. I knew next to nothing about this subject a few hours ago. If I choose to pursue this option, I feel I know what I need to do to make it successful.
