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.

Sarah was absolutely wonderful, and we couldn’t have been happier with the care she provided for our dogs. She is such a lovely, bright person with a great sense of humor, and she immediately put us at ease. She took the time to meet our dogs beforehand and was incredibly receptive to all of their little quirks and routines. Throughout our time away, she kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Sarah presented herself with the perfect balance of professionalism and warmth, and she was genuinely fun to be around. Most importantly, our dogs took to her very quickly, and after meeting her, we had absolutely no doubt that she was the perfect fit for them. We were so grateful to have found her and would wholeheartedly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter. We will happily book with her again!

Giu is such a nice person and responsible sitter! She took notes of every detail of my dog, and send photos/videos for updates. She knows how to communicate and play. My dog absolutely loved spending time with her! Giu also took great care of the apartment, and left the place spotless! After two nights of house sitting, the apartment is even cleaner than when I left it.
