About Yulia

Hi, I’m Yulia. I travel across the globe, living a lifestyle that blends house sitting, minimalism, and intentional travel.

I focus on long-term house sits, often staying for a month or more at a time. This allows me to fully immerse myself in new surroundings without the stress of constant moving. For me, travel is about settling in and understanding the rhythm of a place. I primarily use the TrustedHousesitters platform for finding my sits. If you're looking to start your own journey, you can use my link for 25% off your membership.

This site is a practical guide to the lifestyle I’ve built. I share exactly how to get your first house sit, what you should expect during a stay, and how to navigate solo travel safely. It also explores the philosophy of intentional living: focusing on what really matters while letting go of the rest.

Professional House Sitting

Recently, I made California my home base and started housesitting professionally. If you or anyone you know could benefit from a trusted, dedicated house sitter, you can find my services, client testimonials, and booking inquiries on my website: yulia.sitterjourney.com.

Why Trust This Site

Everything you read here is based on real, lived experience. I don't write about theories or sponsored trips. I focus on what works, what doesn’t, and who this lifestyle is actually for. House sitting involves significant responsibility, and I value planning and respect for every home and pet I care for.

I am currently documenting my journey and expanding this space to share deeper insights on minimalist living and slow travel. These approaches to freedom and happiness go hand in hand, and I invite you to check back often as I document more of my stories and technical hacks.
