Questions about pet and dog sitting

No, unlike other platforms, our sitters sit for love, not money. After paying an annual membership, no money changes hands between our members.

It’s a win-win situation. Sitters exchange their love and care for a stay in your home and the chance to make new furry friends. While pet parents can travel with peace of mind, knowing their pets are loved and cared for.
Our sitters love all kinds of homes and locations. For them, it’s less about grand accommodation and more about staying in real homes and living like a local.

They prefer cosy homes where they can embed themselves in the local community, spend time with adorable pets and make special travel memories.

So as long as your home is clean, tidy and welcoming, our sitters would love to stay.
The first thing to do is to register for free. Once you’re registered, you can explore our platform and decide which membership plan is right for you. We offer three annual memberships – Basic, Standard and Premium.

After you’ve chosen and paid for your membership, you can create your listing. This is your chance to describe your home and pets, and add the dates you’ll be away.

As soon as your listing is live, pet sitters can apply. You can browse their applications and shortlist the ones you think are right. You also have the option to invite sitters directly.

We recommend meeting face-to-face or via video call before confirming the sit to make sure it’s a good match for your home and pets.
Most pet parents confirm a sitter within a day. But this can vary depending on your location and the level of detail you’ve shared in your listing.

For extra peace of mind, our Standard and Premium Pet Parent memberships include a Money Back Promise. Which means if you don’t find a sitter within 14 days, we’ll refund you.
We know arranging to have a pet sitter in your home for the first time may seem daunting. But we do everything in our power to keep all our members safe:

Verified by us
We do background and/or ID checks, ask for external references and verify email addresses and phone numbers.

Verified by others
After a sit, our pet parents rate and review their sitter and give honest feedback.

Verified by you
You can screen sitters before you commit by meeting them face-to-face or via a video call.
Our Home and Contents Plan covers you for up to $1 million against property damage, theft and sitter accidents. This is included in our Standard and Premium Pet Parent memberships.

Premium Pet Parent members also benefit from our Sit Cancellation Plan that protects you in case your sitter cancels.

And lastly, our Standard and Premium Pet Parent memberships include a Money Back Promise. Which means if you don’t find a sitter within 14 days, we’ll refund you.
When you arrange a pet sitter through TrustedHousesitters, you only pay for your annual membership – no other money changes hands.

Like you, our pet sitters pay an annual fee to join our community and use our platform. They don’t get paid or charge for their services.

They do it because they love pets and travel. So in exchange for a place to stay, they’ll look after your pets and take care of your home while you’re away.

If you book a sitter who isn’t part of our community, the average cost of pet sitting in Sydney, NSW is $2.54 per hour, $101.67 per week for 40 hours or $330.42 per month for 130 hours.

The cost of an overnight pet sitter in Sydney is $34.46 per night on average - so pet owners could be spending almost $250 on pet care alone, just for one week’s holiday.

Luckily, our members pet sitting in Sydney and beyond are hobby pet sitters - caring for pets and staying in new locations is their passion. 

So to save money and get peace of mind that you’re welcoming a genuine pet lover, join the TrustedHousesitters community. For one annual membership fee, pet parents connect with as many sitters as needed throughout the year - with no hidden fees or extra costs around the corner. 

By welcoming our members dog sitting in Sydney, pets get to stay in the comfort of their own home while their humans are away. Unlike traditional dog boarding services, nothing is exchanged between pet parents and sitters but loving pet care and a place to stay.

And by keeping pets at home - rather than uprooting them to a boarding facility - dogs don’t have to give up their beloved routines or the surroundings that make them feel safe.

To connect with our members long-term pet sitting in Sydney, simply post your dates and let the applications roll in, or invite sitters directly to care for your beloved pets. For a time away with peace of mind, chat with potential sitters before confirming to agree on your home and pet care expectations.
