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.

For anyone who’s looking for a committed, easy-going and reliable sitter- look no further! Trixie is one of the best on this platform.
Before coming across Trixie’s profile I had communicated with another sitter who cancelled us a week before our trip. So, to say Trixie was god-sent is an understatement. I was able to keep Trixie up to speed relatively quick and she understood our requests for overnight booking (for 8 fussy cats!!) so hats off to her.
Trixie initiated a group chat to communicate updates on our cats well-being for the 2 nights she’ll be staying over. I can attest she went above and beynd for our furry-bullies who unfortunately put Trixie to a lot of work (cleaning vomit and poop outside of litter tray!!), to which she met up to the task every single time.
Caring for 8 notti fussies is a lot considering Trixie does not have any pets of her own but she was able to prioritise each cat’s antics and provided a safe space for all of them. The cats truly felt way too comfortable with her and I have no doubt in my mind Trixie will care for your needy kitties too if you’re looking for an ideal petsitter.
Would we book Trixie again? A hundred percent if Trixie would have us! I am saving her contact forever and recommending to friends and family should they require pet-sitting services.
Thank you Trixie for the wonderful, A+ treatment! My cats are so fortunate to have met you and we definitely look forward to seeing you again :-)

Thankful for Joz’s care of my fur babies (senior dog and recently adopted cat) during the house sitting experience of 3 weeks.
Joz was very kind and patient, sent regular updates of moments she experienced with them and even took care of my ant problem during her house sitting time with them.
I also came home to a neat and clean home which lovely as it isn’t easy managing messes in a home with a cat and a dog.
Would totally rebook. Thanks again!
