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.

AEvelyn is by far the best cat sitter I ever found on this platform. Not only that, she is one of the sweetest individual you will ever meet. She is friendly, easy to talk to and you get a good vibe from her. I asked Evelyn to take care of James for a second time, and I was so happy to see that he was just as happy and comfortable with her as the first time.
Evelyn shared regular updates with me, like pictures, videos, and even gave me updates of how much stock of his food is left and coordinated with me when I ordered a new batch of food for him.
She treated my home like her home, and she treated my cat, like her cat. You will not regret having Evelyn over as a pet sitter. That's a guarantee.
Once again, thank you Evelyn for taking care of Jamie, he misses you and I hope to invite you home to take care of him again soon! ❤️🐈

KJin was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter! She took such great care of my dog, Nara, and was incredibly kind and friendly from the start. Nara clearly loved her so much, and when we came back, she was happy, relaxed, and it truly looked like they had a lot of fun together.
Jin sent regular updates with photos and videos, which was really helpful and gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. I felt completely safe knowing Nara was in such caring and loving hands.
I would highly recommend Jin to anyone looking for a trustworthy, warm, and attentive pet sitter. Thank you so much, Jin!
