Terry and Clyde

We are Clyde and Terry Coles, two Americans who had never travelled outside of the US until we said, “adios” to our lives in the US and retired early to Panama, at the ages of 51 and 57. Life in Panama was good to us, until we took our first ever trip to Europe. We fell in love with travel and longed to explore more of the world but lacked the money to make it happen. Then we heard about house and pet sitting that proved to be a gamechanger.

In 2016 we sold everything in Panama except for what would fit into two carry-on sized suitcases each along with small backpacks. For the next two years we lived rent free around the world as international house and pet sitters. Our house-sitting adventures took us to Thailand, Kenya, Egypt, England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Italy, Spain, France, Denmark, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, and Portugal, just to name a few.

Since we are animal lovers, we enjoyed giving belly rubs to adorable dogs and cats but have also cared for alpacas, pigeons, chickens, guinea pigs, fish, turtles and more. In exchange for free pet care, we’ve lived in luxury houses, city apartments, expansive estates, and even a medieval granary beneath the shadow of a castle…. absolutely free!

Discover how we’ve lived rent free around the world in exotic locations like:

Thailand, Egypt, Kenya, Europe, the United Kingdom, South and Central America and more as house and pet sitters. Never heard of house sitting? Neither had we, so let us explain exactly what house sitting is and why you should consider it. And we’ll even share with you our “secret formula” that has made us successful as house sitters for nearly a decade. So how does one get started in house sitting? Anyone can do an online search to find house sitting websites, BUT in our course, we teach you HOW to create the best possible profile that will make you stand out and be selected for the sit. There are thousands of sits available around the world just waiting for someone like you to apply.

 Let me be honest with you about something up front. Sure, there is plenty of free information out there about house sitting if you do a simple internet search. That is exactly how we got started. What we are offering you is a shortcut to get started right away, along with the tips and secrets we have learned in our nine years of house and pet sitting.

 When we first started, we did not get every house sit that we applied for, but now we do! Why?  Terry is a professional writer and author who can teach you how to create the perfect profile on house sitting websites and what to say, and what not to say, when you apply for the sit via email.


On each of our 45 plus house sits we have learned something new which can help you to secure the sits you desire. That is what we are selling in this course. Our experience and know how to help make you a successful house and pet sitter that people will want and trust in their home.
