How it Works

House sitters & pet sitters provide peace of mind for homeowners while they are away from home.

The Original Pet Sitting site

We've been connecting US pet owners with trusted pet sitters & dog sitters for well over a decade.

Pet owners mostly get a "House Sitter" to care for their pets—so we've always been a "Pet Sitting" and a "Dog Sitting" site (and a chicken sitting / horse sitting / farm sitting etc... site).

Because we've been doing this since 2007, we've got the experience, the security and the award-winning support to give you the very best service.

Free for owners

It’s totally free to join, place a job ad & secure a wonderful house sitter. Sitters offer loving in-home care for your pets, care for the garden & they keep the place secure while you're away.

No commissions

Sitters simply pay an annual membership of $49. There are no commissions taken from anyone. You can sit for free, or you can charge for your services. You can sit locally, or travel. It's all good.

Trust

Over a decade of experience has allowed us to build multiple layers of security including ID verification, secure messaging & verified reviews. We back all of this with fast & friendly support.

Loving, in-home care is best for your pets

Your pets always feel happiest & most secure in their own house—familiar territory, routines, smells & food. Ask any Vet.

Frankly, your pets feel safest with you—but if you have to go away, the very best you can do for them is to get them a sitter to look after them in their own home.

Happy pets

Most sitters are engaged to look after the pets while the owners are away. This greatly reduces the stress of separation for the pets (and the owners) & creates real peace of mind.

Green garden

It's not just the pets that need a bit of lovin' while the owners are away—gardens & pot plants need daily attention. This is another service that house sitters are usually happy to provide.

Secure house

An empty house is a target for burglars & vandals. A house sitter will be a constant presence in the house—collecting mail, receiving parcels & just keeping everything working normally.
