Having a Sitter come and stay in your home in a guest room overnight can relieve anxiety from putting your beloved pet in a kennel or cattery where they may come back sick or stressed. House Sitters should be free to come and go from your home throughout the day to attend to personal errands or go to a day job, but they essentially come back to the house and stay the evening and overnight.
Book a House Sitter
What does a House Sitter do?
After discussion together, agreed duties might include:
- Watering garden, chlorinating swimming pool or mowing
- Feeds and waters pets and takes sick pets to veterinarian for treatment
- Monitoring of entrances to property and securing locks to prevent access of unauthorised people.
- Staying every night from 8pm to 6am at a minimum.
- Answers telephone and doorbell, takes messages, and shares information to you as requested.
- Brings in mail from the letterbox.
- Cleans up after themselves using the home's cleaning equipment.

Tip 2: Always discuss whether you are happy to allow the Sitter to invite a guest to visit or stay. For example are you ok with a boyfriend/girlfriend/family/friend staying over, do you want a police check run on the friend prior to the booking starting? You can request the guest get a police check done here:
