House sitting in Peru  

If Peru is sitting pretty on your bucket list, we’re right with you. But what if we told you that discovering it doesn’t have to be all tourist traps and hotels?

Yup, you can touch base in South America and break up those inevitable tourist days by house sitting in Peru. 

Connecting with pet parents in Peru means staying in their home in local neighborhoods, caring for their furry family while they’re away, and exchanging nothing but trust.

So, want a truly local experience in one of the planet’s most jaw-dropping countries? We thought so - explore below to find out what you could be getting up to while house sitting in Peru.

See the city sites

House sitting in Peru could take you to the country’s current and historical capital cities - Lima and Cusco. 

As Peru’s modern-day capital, you’re bound to stop in Lima. With the coast, mountains and jungle only hours from the city, it’s no wonder Lima is a popular launch-pad for tourists. Plus if you’ve got time, check out the Nazca lines viewable from the air.

As for Cusco, you’ll be inundated with things to do in the once-capital of the Inca Empire. At an altitude of over 3000 meters, roam the streets with your furry pal to check out the Inca walls, independent coffee houses, jewelry shops and bustling markets of San Blas, San Pedro and more.

Or, leave your new kitty pal to happily basque in the sun at home while you explore the Plaza de Armas and Coricancha, the Inca Temple of the Sun. 

And naturally, dabble in a glass of Chilean wine if it’s your thing and some of the thousands of potato varieties Peru offers.

Discover Inca history

A trip to Peru wouldn’t be complete without exploring the sites left behind by the Inca. So if you’re caring for a kitty pal while you’re house sitting in Peru, get yourself on a day trip to Machu Picchu, the Sacred Valley home to Quechuan villages, Moray or Saqsaywaman - an ancient citadel and home to the Inti Raymi festival.

Peru’s natural beauty

Maybe one of the country’s most famous sites is the Peruvian Amazonia, simply known as the jungle once you hit touchdown. If you’re taking care of a new feline friend while you’re house sitting in Peru, book a day trip into the Amazon, where you’ll spot monkeys, caiman, pink river dolphins, parrots, sloth, and so much more. 

And if you’re in the area, Vinicunca (Rainbow mountain) is well worth a visit, along with condor watching at Cruz del Condor viewpoint.
