Find a trusted house sitter near you

House sitting is an in-home pet care service. A house sitter comes to stay your home for the duration of the time you are away to care for your pets and keep an eye on your home.

House sitting is a perfect choice for dogs and cats that don’t like being transported to another location for boarding: such as puppies, older cats and dogs or special-needs pets. House sitting is a great option for pets that suffer separation anxiety, as the familiar sights, sounds and smells of home are more comforting than an unfamiliar boarding facility. It is also ideal for other pets such as fish, small caged animals and even farm animals that are happier in their own familiar space. If you own several pets, boarding might be too expensive or difficult to arrange, in which case a house sitter can be a great pet care solution.

As well as keeping your pet happy, house sitting might suit you if you are a little nervous about home security when you are away. It can include extra services such as bringing in the mail, watering plants and taking out the bins for collection. Your house will be lived-in and far more secure with a trusted Pawshake house sitter coming and going than an empty home.
