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.

Sit back and relax! Your pet is in safe hands with their loving, experienced pet sitter.
KWe have a young cat and a young dog, it's not an easy combo - but Chloe and Guillaume did so well in taking care of them when we're away for a month.
From the first meeting, we could already tell that they both love animals and are very attentive. The communication is great and they're always responsive, we kept receiving several updates every day. They also follow the routine of our puppy and take great care of her. Very grateful that the two take the dog with them during weekends to dog parks or their outings, it makes our energetic dog super happy.
What makes us really shocked yet relieved is to come back home without the cat yelling for our absence (which she usually does a lot of complaints about): it's showing us how much at ease she was with Chloe and Guillaume's company and that she didn't feel lonely. We came back home to our flat in impeccable state and our pets clearly healthy and happy. It's not easy to find someone we trust with our fur babies and we're super lucky to have found Chloe and Guillaume with our first shot. Will surely hold onto them for future pet-sittings, our pets love them!

ALindsey is an absolutely wonderful sitter. She took care of our cat with much care, patience, and gentleness. She is a very knowledgeable and responsible sitter, one in whom you can trust. Our cat is on the sensitive side, personality-wise, and he took to Lindsey immediately. Lindsey stayed in our apartment for a little over a week, and our cat really enjoyed his time with her. We returned to find a cat who was not stressed at all and to an apartment that was spotless. We definitely hope that Lindsey will agree to take care of our cat again in the future.
