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.

House Sitting

Meghan, 31-08-2022

We booked Rebecca while we were away for two nights and needed someone who would be happy to mind six pets and some goldfish! Rebecca responded to our request quickly, and had no problem minding so many pets. She communicated with us consistently while we were away, and updated us on how our pets were doing and sent photos too. We found Rebecca to be very professional, and fairly priced. She did a great job looking after our home and pets. We would 100% invite her back to our home to look after our pets in the future, and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, great pet sitter!

This is the second time Ana has come to our home to take care of our 3 dogs and 2 2 bunnies. Ana is an amazing pet sitter and looks after them all so well walking them and giving them lots of special cuddles. Our dogs truly love her and are always so excited to see her. I highly recommend Ana to look after anyones pets and home. She is very responsible and reliable and honest and trustworthy. Thanks so much again Ana
