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.

ÉMelissa was an excellent choice, and we are truly grateful that we found her.
Our little dog has separation anxiety, so the first 24 hours were quite challenging. She cried a lot and only wanted us by her side. Even so, Melissa was incredibly patient, kind, and understanding throughout the entire experience, taking care of her with genuine love and dedication.
One of the things we appreciated the most was how thoughtful Melissa was in keeping us updated. She regularly sent us messages about how our baby was doing, which gave us so much peace of mind, comfort, and confidence while we were away.
From the second day on, our little girl started to get closer to Melissa and gradually became more comfortable and trusting. It was wonderful to see that progress. The most important thing for us was knowing that she was eating well, receiving plenty of love and attention, and being cared for by someone who truly loves dogs.
We will definitely continue using Melissa’s services. We are confident that with each stay, our baby will become even more comfortable and confident with her. This was the very first time she stayed at home with a pet sitter, so we believe it was an incredibly positive first experience.
Thank you so much, Melissa, for your patience, kindness, and loving care. You treated our little girl as if she were your own, and that means more to us than words can express. We couldn’t recommend you more highly.

CIt was great to have Soraya at our home to look after our dog. She took really good care of our dog and provided regular updates, making sure she got plenty of cuddles, walks, attention and all the care she needs. She gave us peace of mind while being away, which we really appreciate.
She also took great care of our plants!
We’re very grateful to Soraya and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.
