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.

Yevheniia is an absolutely wonderful pet sitter. She watched our two dogs for a week while we traveled, and we never once doubted that they were in great hands. Even from our very first meeting, it was clear that she is intelligent, responsible, and has a genuine love and empathy for animals. One of our dogs injured her paw right before we left for our trip, and Yevheniia went above and beyond in caring for her. She kept us consistently updated and even took our dog to the vet for the required follow-up visits. We were incredibly grateful for the extra effort, and throughout it all, she was so kind and reassuring- her only concern was making sure our pup was comfortable, healing well, and not in pain. We initially considered canceling our trip because of the injury, but Yevheniia truly saved the day. Knowing our dogs were being cared for by someone so compassionate and dependable gave us complete peace of mind. We cannot recommend her highly enough and will absolutely be reaching out to her again for future trips. She is truly a lovely person, and anyone would be lucky to have her care for their pets. ♥

We couldn’t be happier with Cristina! She took amazing care of our dog and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She sent us regular updates and photos throughout the stay, so we always knew everything was going well. It was clear that our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Cristina is kind, reliable, attentive, and truly loves animals. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and she went above and beyond our expectations. We will definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you so much, Cristina!
