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.

Rayanne was an absolute dream of a pet sitter! She took amazing care of our cats and dogs while we were away, and we had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Her communication was excellent, keeping us updated with messages and photos, and it was clear she genuinely cared about our pets’ well-being. They were happy, well-fed, and comfortable when we returned. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Rayanne to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter. Thank you so much! 🐾✨

Angelyn was amazing. She was trustworthy and I felt so safe having her stay at my home for nearly a week while I was away. She took great care of my cat and treated my apartment with the utmost respect, tidiness and cleanliness possible.
She’s kind and caring and has amazing communication and sent me photos and updates daily.
My cat is usually shy and has trouble socialising with new people but she was very comfortable around her.
She took care of my baby, fed her, played with her, was great company, and I came home to a very happy cat after my holiday away.
I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to choose her as a pet sitter, and I can’t think of another person that I would trust to have access to my home and cat.
I was very hesitant to hire a sitter through here as I was unsure of the safety, scams, robbers etc, but Angelyn made all these doubts go away.
Angelyn, I can’t thank you enough, and I wish you the best of luck! I hope other people get to experience the sense of safety you gave me and Batta.
All the best
