How to arrange a pet sit

Step one

Create your listing

Write a description, add plenty of photos, and the dates you’ll be away. You can even tailor it to inspire dog sitters or like-minded cat lovers to apply.

Step two

Receive applications

Pet sitters near and far away can apply to your sit. They’ll send a personalised application for you to consider alongside their sitter profile.

Step three

Choose your pet sitter

Chat to the pet sitters that apply, ask questions, and get to know them. They don’t charge, so choose the sitter that’s right for your pet and you.

Step four

Travel with peace of mind

Set off on your travels knowing your pets and home are in the hands of your chosen sitter. When it’s time to return, you'll be welcomed back by truly happy pets.

A fair exchange

an illustration of a heart

Both you and the pet sitter buy an annual membership.
You then connect to arrange pet sits that help you travel with peace of mind. In return, the sitter enjoys caring for your pet and home — and they don’t charge.

A community built on trust

Reviews and references

Before choosing a sitter for your dog, cat, or any other animal, you can read reviews left by other owners. You can also check their references from employers and people who know them.

Verified pet sitters

All pet sitters can get verified with a range of checks, such as having their contact details and ID documents reviewed. See what level they've got by looking at the Trust Badge on their profile.

It's up to you

Get to know the sitters who have applied before you make your final decision by messaging through the website or app. You can also use it to plan the sit once you've chosen a pet sitter.

Insurance Backed Guarantee

You’re covered for every sit confirmed through TrustedHousesitters — at no extra cost. You’re covered against property damage, theft, and if the sitter has an accident.

The support is fabulous and responsive if you need it. Our pet sitter just left yesterday and our pets were well cared for as was our home. Overall, just a great experience!
