Animal-loving house sitters you can trust! We care for your pets and home like our own—reliable, experienced, and calm with all animals. Peace of mind while you're away

favoriteWhy we love house sitting

We’re housesitting to explore new places while caring for animals—we love the lifestyle, the connections, and giving pets loving company while their owners are away.

We are experienced and reliable house sitters who love caring for animals of all kinds. Whether it's feeding pets, walking dogs, cuddling cats, or tending to farm animals, we treat every animal as if they were our own. We understand how important it is to keep your home and animals safe, comfortable, and well-cared for while you're away. With a calm presence and genuine love for animals, we ensure your pets get plenty of attention and your home stays in great condition.

Pet care

We have lots of experience with pets—dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, and even farm animals. We've cared for shy, energetic, elderly, and special-needs pets with love, patience, and reliability.

Pollyanna was very consientious with both her housesitting and her pet minding. We hope to use her again and would recommend her to others. Chris & Cheryll
Pollyanna and Jaimie looked after my house and pets for five weeks and kept in close contact - both messages and photos (which were much appreciated) whilst I was gone. Both the animals and house were very well looked after and they were also willing to step in again if required following unplanned delays in the return trip, which was great peace of mind during a pretty stressful situation. They did a great job and I can definitely recommend them as house sitters.
Thank you 😊
Came home to very happy indoor cats and a tidy home, and had updates throughout the stay. Polyanna and Jamie are easygoing and friendly and I’d happily have them stay again!
We would 100% ask Pollyanna and Jamie back to house/dog sit for our next holiday. It was great that they came to visit us and meet Alati ahead of time, and she loved them. They even came again to take her for a walk to get comfortable with her. They kept in communication with us while we were away, sending photos of Alati and keeping us updated. They left the house and garden in a better state than it was when we left. They went above and beyond. Thanks so much P&J!!
Thank you :-).
I can't say enough nice about Pollyanna and Jamie. I needed a house- and cat-sitter rather quickly since I had to go to the US fast because my mother was in hospital. We met up, it was clear that they were lovely people, and we agreed about timing. Pollyanna sent me photos of my cat regularly and kep me updated on anything I needed to know. My return date shifted a bit and they were very flexible with staying a bit longer - it ended up being a little over 3 weeks - so that my cat was taken ...

I returned to a clean house, flowers!! and a happy cat. I'll go straight to them next time I need someone to watch my place and my cat.
