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.

Regan is a wonderful dog sitter. We needed someone to stay at our place while we were away for 1 week to take care of our dog. Doggie is a rescue Singapore Special; he is very fearful of strangers and has a lot of fear triggers. We left a lot of instructions for Regan, and we were afraid of being obnoxious/overbearing, but Regan was always so gracious and he readily complied with them all. Once our dog got to know Regan, he was so at ease around Regan that we were pleasantly surprised! He replied swiftly, communicated effectively and also took initiatives in some aspects that we did not require of him. We would wholeheartedly recommend him to any dog parents. Thank you so much Regan and happy new year!

Rachel is fantastic! I've had catsitters over before but this is my first time getting a housesitter. I was initially worried about leaving them alone again after 3 years of not travelling but I was super at ease knowing that Rachel is looking after my home and cats. My 5 cats warmed up to her super quickly. She is very experienced and also knew how to handle one of my shy cat who was hiding initially . I'm a paranoid and OCD cat mama who gave her lots of instructions and she also followed them to the T. She sent photos and videos regularly and from these updates, it's very obvious that my cats really love being around her! I came home to a very neat and clean home. Super recommend her to take care of your pets!! Will definitely engage her again in the future 😊
