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.

With an annual TrustedHousesitters membership plan, you can connect with a community of verified pet sitters from near and far, who exchange loving pet care for a place to stay on their travels.

Our pet sitters don’t charge for their services, and no money changes hands between our members. 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.

For our members here at TrustedHousesitters, pet sitting is their hobby. Discovering new places and looking after animals is their passion, rather than their job. 

Exchanging pet care for a place to stay, it’s a win-win for sitters, pet parents, and of course their pets who enjoy loving pet care in the comfort of their own home. 

Many of our sitters prefer house sitting for longer periods of time to truly experience the place and get to know the pets. So, post your dates and watch the applications roll in or invite sitters directly.

Finding a pet sitter for high-energy hounds is simple here. Many of our sitters are experienced with dogs who need lots of exercise, or have had pets of their own with demanding exercise needs. Just be sure to share your dog’s energy levels and needs with your sitter before confirming.
