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.

HI chose Jiaying to do housesitting for my 2 cats during my 1 week holiday. And it was the best decision I have made for my cats. She did a meet and greet to meet me and the cats first. She’s a friendly girl and I can see that she loves cats. One of my cats immediately warmed up to her which was heartwarming. She followed my instructions on taking care of the cats and gives me ample updates (photos and videos) during my trip. She also helps to take care of my home. She kept the house neat and tidy while taking care of the cats. The cats adore her. How do I know? The cats slept with her at nights, either on the bed with her or just being in the same room as her.
I would highly recommend her for any cat sitting or house sitting of your pets! Thank you Jiaying for helping me look after my Myo and Simba. Will definitely look for you to house sit again for my future trips.

RThis being the first time we were going overseas since getting our cat, Bernie was very clear and meticulous in her introduction and explanation of what house sitting entailed. We truly appreciate her initiative in asking questions about our cat to ensure she understood her habits and quirks since every pet is different!
On the day of the house sitting, she came by early to be further acquainted with everything. Throughout, she also shared prompt updates on our cat’s litter habits, appetite, water intake, activity level etc.
On the day we were to return, she was kind enough to stay on longer to accompany our cat and encourage her to eat more as our flight was a night flight.
When we returned, the house was tidy and clean too, and our cat was happy, confident and playful - no change whatsoever from her usual behaviour despite our absence!
We truly appreciate Bernie’s thoughtful care of our cat, and have already asked her to visit again when we are away on a day trip!
We would certainly recommend her to our friends who are pet owners too :)
