Any suggestions on how to find house-sitting opportunities in Costa Rica? I realize that there are a lot of Americans with second homes in Costa Rica that only live there part-time. I thought it would be mutually beneficial to find a house-sitting opportunity.

My husband and I have lots of past hotel experience (maintenance, housekeeping, and front desk) that make us ideal candidates for house-sitting.

Let me know if you have any ideas on how to do this... thank you!

Try Craig's list. I had an ad on there looking for a caretaking position and got several responses.

Open your own web site which clearly indicates no fees for house owners or those applying for positions. You will have a few home owners post openings, and just take the one you want. It might cost you $100. to set things up, but you are guaranteed an assignment.
