This month, we’re celebrating TrustedHousesitters’ 10-year anniversary. That’s ten whole years (or 60, in dog years!) of keeping pets happy at home and connecting pet lovers from all across the globe.
While our celebrations this year might be a little different to how we’d planned, we’ve been taking a walk down memory lane and looking back on ten whole years of TrustedHousesitters, and raising a bowl to the pets — and people — that made it happen!
Meet the Class of 2014…

“Some sitters have called me their ‘gentle giant,’ as (despite my size) I love nothing more than snuggling up and sleeping in with them.
I always show my sitters the ropes when they come to Seattle — I even let them know when it's chow time, you know, just in case they forget…”
Meet Jack, the gentle giant from Seattle representing TrustedHousesitters’ Class of 2014
In 2014, we had just over 15.5K pet members… that’s a lot of wagging tongues and wagging tails!
Jack’s owners, Anna and Tammy, joined TrustedHousesitters back in 2014 after rescuing him from a foster organisation in Griffiths, NSW. Jack and his family then made the move back to the USA a year later, and have since welcomed 43 loving sitters to help keep Jack company over the years.
“Anna and Tam were extremely hospitable, just like friends you hadn't met yet! Jack was awesome — great walker, snuggly, I think not realizing his size at all. ‘There's room for two in the bed,’ I could hear him say. Well, actions speak louder than words!” — Tracy, USA
If you find yourself sitting for this pooch one day, Jack will gladly be your personal tour guide (as he has been for over 40 sitters so far), with walks around the district and to Alki Beach being just some of his favourite haunts…
“Jack is a joy… after he and I worked out our rhythm, our walks were so much fun. He'll let you know when he needs to go out and when it's chow time. I would sit for Jack again in a heartbeat!” — Constance, USA
