favoriteWhy we love house sitting

I enjoy house sitting because it allows me to combine my sense of responsibility with my love for caring for homes and pets. I take pride in keeping everything organized and ensuring pets feel comfortable in their own environment.

We both have resident visa. have worked part-time at a pet store and have experience with housesitting.
We are huge animal lovers and have been caring for our cat and dog for over 16 years, so we have plenty of hands-on experience with pets. As a teacher, I’m naturally patient and attentive to details.

Our pets (1 dog, 2 cats) loved these guys. House was tidy, communications were good and response times were quick.
Alisa and Nelson were a nice couple, Rosie my dog seemed happy with them and they posted plenty of updates and photos.My sister said the house was left neat and tidy, a big thanks..Nev
Keep us informed around our pets ,was great
Alisa and Nelson took good care of our dog and house. Good communication with regular updates. The house was left clean and tidy.
Nelson and Alisa are a lovely couple from China. English is their second language but communication was good. Our house was very clean and tidy on our return. The animals were doted on and very happy. We had no concerns. We received regular photos and videos.
Thank you, Nelson and Alisa, for looking after my house and Oscarpuss. My house was clean and tidy and Oscar looks well fed and is happy. Daily pictures of Oscar and watering plants were much appreciated. It was nice to meet you both as well. I look forward to seeing you again perhaps on another sit. One tip for next time: housesitters normally supply their own food or replace non-perishable food they use. Happy sitting, Richard and Oscarpuss
Would not hesitate to have Alicia and Nelson look after Sophie and the house again. Their communication was great and they sent updates and photos throughout the sit, which was appreciated. Came home to a nice today house also :)
Please bear in mind that English is not these guys first language. Despite being convinced that I thought my pup's feeding regime was well understood.... alas, it wasn't so. None of the dog food had been used from the car shed.... all the morning food was gone... as was most of the frozen meat for human consumption. Please ensure that Nelson and Alisa FULLY understand your instructions. On the good side.... there were many videos sent of the pups.... and the house was tidy when I ...

We are confused about this review, the dinner for the dogs from the car shed every day, how come none of it have been used? Maybe Sue doesn’t remember how much food she had. She didn’t even remember which day we should leave, she put the date of 23/02 on website, but she let us leave on 22/o2. She ...

Alisa and Nelson were exactly what we wanted to take care of our home and our pet when we were away. They communicated with us regularly showing pictures and videos of our beloved pet having a good time with them. Will be happy to have them back in the next available opprtunity.
House Security

Safe house!

There is nothing more secure than having people at home while you're away. Get a house sitter.
