Rules and regulations

Get to know the rules and regulations of the home before you arrive. This is probably the most important tip on our list! It is essential that you are familiar with the house rules before you start your stay, as this will help avoid any potential issues or misunderstandings. If possible, try to get in touch with the homeowners beforehand so that you can ask any questions you may have.

Special instructions

If there are specific instructions for operating certain appliances or using certain facilities, make sure you take note of them and follow them accordingly. It is also a good idea to find out about any local ordinances or regulations that may apply to the property (e.g., noise restrictions, parking permits, etc.). And before you start your luxury housesitting take a detailed brief from the homeowners or agents.

Take care of the property

While you are luxury housesitting, it is important to take good care of the property. This means keeping things clean and tidy and being mindful of any damage that may occur. Remember, you are responsible for the condition of the property while you are there, so treat it with respect!

Be respectful of the neighbors

If you are staying in a neighborhood, it is important to be respectful of the neighbors. This means keeping noise to a minimum, being considerate of their property, and following any rules or regulations that may be in place.

Keep valuables safe

If you are housesitting a high end real estate, there is a good chance that there will be some valuable items on the premises. It is important to make sure that these items are kept safe and secure while you are there. If possible, ask the homeowners where they would like you to keep them.

Stick to a schedule

If you are luxury housesitting for an extended period of time, it is important to stick to a schedule. This will help ensure that the property is kept in good condition and that the neighbors are not disturbed. Try to keep your comings and goings as regular as possible.

Take care of pets

If there are pets on the property, it is important to take care of them as well. This means feeding them, walking them, and giving them the attention they need. If you are not a pet owner yourself, be sure to do some research before your stay so that you know what to expect.
