Can you house-sit instead of renting? Australians turn to pet-minding to escape the housing crisis
The article discusses the growing trend of Australians turning to house-sitting instead of traditional renting to cope with the housing crisis. Jacqueline Mifsud, a Melbourne resident, is one such example who has become a full-time house- and pet-sitter, living out of her car and staying in various homes for at least two weeks at a time. The article suggests that this approach allows people to maintain a routine and avoid the hassle of constantly starting over with each new rental. The rising costs of housing and the desire for more stability are driving this shift, as some Australians have opted to forgo renting altogether in favor of house-sitting opportunities.
