Finding a pet-sitter who will move in to care for pets like a friend
As humans we have a great ability to collaborate and help each other. That’s how we like our house-sitting and pet-sitting to work among members at HouseSitMatch.com. Pet owners have sitters move in to care for pets and property for free.
And one of the great advantages of house-sitting is that you stay in someone’s home caring for pets and property, with the opportunity to discover a new location. It’s travel with care, without expensive accommodation. The homeowners show you their favourite places to visit. Living like a local is a great way to see the world, one house-sit at a time. It’s a treat!
How it works
- Register at HouseSitMatch.com as a house-sitter.
- Create your profile with photos of you.
- Review house-sitting opportunities and video chat with potential hosts.
- Match with the perfect home owner and enjoy your house-sit! Be careful, this form of travel is addictive.
Real savings, real peace of mind
Each house-sit benefits both the homeowner and sitter. Pets receive one-on-one attention at home, your property stays protected, and you avoid expensive kennel fees (stress-free pet!).
For a small annual registration fee (and no per-sit fee), you can connect with verified house-sitters willing to provide free pet care and home security. Your pets deserve the comfort of their own home, and you deserve an affordable holiday.
