Questions about pet and dog sitting

No, unlike other platforms, our sitters sit for love, not money. After paying an annual membership, no money changes hands between our members.

It’s a win-win situation. Sitters exchange their love and care for a stay in your home and the chance to make new furry friends. While pet parents can travel with peace of mind, knowing their pets are loved and cared for.
Our sitters love all kinds of homes and locations. For them, it’s less about grand accommodation and more about staying in real homes and living like a local.

They prefer cosy homes where they can embed themselves in the local community, spend time with adorable pets and make special travel memories.

So as long as your home is clean, tidy and welcoming, our sitters would love to stay.
