Amazon Reviews: This is a brilliant read. We ended up buying 2 copies so that I and my partner didn't fight over who's reading it first haha. I loved this book from start to finish. Easy to follow, informative and full of practical tips. From the moment I started reading this book I was engrossed by the stories which made me feel like I had travelled along with Jessica. The authors passion and excitement bursts through the pages with a well written and captivating read. A great read with the perfect balance of fun travel stores and informative house sitting tips! Easy reading that can be picked up in small bursts if needed. Have loved delving into this book after seeing Jessica talk at a festival in July. Full of helpful ideas, honest thoughts and helps build realistic expectations of what a life of housesitting can be like. Highly recommended. Jess and her husband are clearly house sitting pros with a lot of handy experience shared - Highly recommend, wait to be inspired!
