Thinking about joining the pack and wonder what being a sitter member is really like? Take a sneak peek into life with a TrustedHousesitters membership by reading Claire's story so far...

Claire's story


Before joining TrustedHousesitters, Claire was enduring a lengthy daily commute from her home in Oxfordshire to London. Now with her membership, she no longer has to do this. Instead, she spends her newfound free time in wonderful homes around the city she loves, caring for adorable animals like Ollie.

“TrustedHousesitters has 100% changed my life for the better. I’ve absolutely loved my first year. All of the owners I’ve met have been lovely and have welcomed me into their homes. They’ve left me a really useful Welcome Guide, and sometimes even treats.

"I have so much more spare time in the evening now I am not commuting –– I’ve been able to join a gym and I can even prepare a meal in the evenings, rather than something that goes in my microwave. It’s great to know that when I finish work, I can go back to the home I’m staying in and get to cuddle adorable animals. Obviously the animals I care for are the highlight. I mainly sit for cats, but I do sit for one dog, Ollie, who comes to work with me.” –– Claire, sitter, UK

At the time of catching up with Claire, she had already enjoyed an incredible 20 sits in just one year. And having read about her amazing experiences so far, we can't wait to hear what more she does with the free time she's found thanks to house and pet sitting.
