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.

Gülfeda was an amazing dog sitter. My 10-month-old dog stayed with her at my home for three days, and during that time, she took excellent care of both my dog and my home. My dog sometimes has difficulty eating, but Gülfeda carefully followed every meal and made sure he ate properly. They played together every day, and she sent me lots of photos and videos throughout the stay, which made me feel very comfortable and reassured. I would definitely trust Gülfeda with my dog again. We were extremely happy with her care and would highly recommend her!

Graziella è stata fantastica con la mia gattina Zazou. 🐱 È una persona molto premurosa, affidabile e attenta ai bisogni degli animali. Ha fatto tutto quello che le avevo chiesto con grande cura ed è stata anche molto flessibile nell'adattarsi alle mie esigenze e agli orari, cosa che ho apprezzato tantissimo. Mi ha tenuta aggiornata con foto e messaggi, facendomi sentire tranquilla durante la mia assenza. Al mio ritorno Zazou era serena e ben curata. La consiglio vivamente a chiunque cerchi una pet sitter di fiducia. Grazie ancora per esserti presa così bene cura di Zazou!
