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.

Javiera is an incredible pet sitter—truly the best you could ask for! She is always responsible, reliable, and communicative, making sure to keep me updated with photos, videos and messages about my cat. What sets her apart is how much she genuinely cares; she treats my cat like her own, giving her love, attention, and the best care possible. She always asked me how she needed to take care of my cat. Knowing my cat was in her hands gave me complete peace of mind and I was able to enjoy my long vacation with my family without worrying about my cat at all. I highly recommend Javiera to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!

Camila is an amazing cat sitter! I've had Camila watch my cats on both short and long term stays and both of my cats love her. She's very responsive on communications and provided me with plenty of updates and photos to put me at ease. One of my cats is very timid and takes a while to warm up to people. But Camila managed to breakthrough to him quickly and made a new best friend! 100% will be reaching out to Camila for my future cat sitting needs.
