Like many young people, Jessica wants to travel the globe. Unlike most of them, this 25-year-old is doing it 1. She and her husband have spent the last two years traveling the world, stopping everywhere from Paris to Singapore. It might sound like one long, expensive 2, but the couple has an unusual way to make their travel 3.

They're part of a new form of the 4 economy: an online group of house sitters. Throughout their no-cost stays in 5 homes, they feed pets and water plants in the homeowner's 6.

It's not all sightseeing. The two travelers carefully 7 their trips, scheduling their days around the pets that are sometimes difficult to 8. But house sitting also offers a level of 9 they can't find in a hotel. "It's like 10 at a friend's house," Jessica says.

The couple has a high 11 rate in getting accepted as house sitters and they always go beyond the homeowner's 12. For Jessica, that means 13 plenty of pictures of happy pets, keeping the house 14 and leaving a nice small gift before heading to the next house. "You want to make the homeowner feel that they made the right 15," she says.
