A sitter stays overnight in your home
House and pet care for while you are away
A house sitter will stay at your home while you are away to care for your pets and keep an eye on your home.
House sitting is a perfect choice for pets that prefer to stay in the comfort of their own home. Our house sitters are also a more cost effective option if you own several pets.
With house sitting, your house will be lived-in and far more secure with a trusted house sitter coming and going than an empty home.

CWe had a wonderful experience with Rebecca, who stayed at our home for three days and nights to take care of our two cats while we were on vacation. She provided regular updates about our cats, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Her communication was very clear, prompt, very reassuring and she was very kind.
She took excellent care of our cats and made sure they were happy and well looked after. On top of that, she also treated our house with great respect and left everything in perfect condition.
We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative pet sitter. We look forward to book her again for our next trip!

JTyler did a fantastic job taking care of my dog while staying at my home for three days. His communication before and during the stay was excellent, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. He was reliable, respectful of my home, and clearly attentive to my dog’s needs.
Most importantly, my dog really seemed to enjoy having him around. It’s obvious that Tyler genuinely cares about the animals he looks after. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable dog sitter.
