Is TrustedHousesitters worth the money?

The yearly cost of a TrustedHousesitters membership allows pet parents to choose from as many verified sitters as they need, all year round. And as our sitters are here for the love of pet-filled travel experiences, it’s a fraction of the cost of private pet sitters.

And while we could talk all day about the benefits of this pet-loving community, wouldn’t you rather hear it from our members themselves? Take a look below for a taste of their experiences with trusted sitters.

“We were able to go away knowing she was being well cared for, loved, and totally spoiled, and she didn’t miss us at all while we were away.” - Deb and Scott

“TrustedHousesitters is a total win-win – it saves us money and gives us incredible peace of mind knowing a trusty cat lover is caring for our kitties all day long, not just swinging by to feed them at the end of the day.” - Caz and Craig

“The sitters we found for our 2 fur babies were the most kind, loving, respectful and genuine people who we are hoping to stay in touch with for future visits and housesits!” - Amie

What do I get with a TrustedHousesitters membership?

  • Verified sitters. We ask all of our sitters to complete ID verifications and character references. Our US sitters have the chance to complete a background check. That way, you know who you’re welcoming into your home. 
  • Reviewed sitters. We encourage all of our members to review each other after a sit - that way, it’s easy for pet parents like you to find out what like-minded others think of the sitters they’ve had.
  • Unlimited access to sitters. It doesn’t matter how many sitters you need, or how often you have to travel. With one annual membership fee, you’ve got access to loving sitters, all year round.
  • In-home pet care. Vets agree pets are happier at home, surrounded by all the smells and sounds they’re used to. By welcoming in-home sitters, there’s no need to uproot your home-loving furry fam.
  • Consistent pet care routines. There’s no need to break those precious routines that help your pets feel safe, secure and happy. Pet parents simply tell our sitters when feeding, walking and play happens, so nothing has to change.
  • 24/7 vet advice. For both sitters and pet parents with a Standard or Premium membership, veterinary nurses are on hand around the clock during sits on the phone, via chat and video call, should any concerns crop up.
  • And lots more! To learn more about our membership types here at TrustedHousesitters, how much they cost and all the benefits you could be making the most of, head to our guide on our membership plans.
