This business plan is ingenious! So many pet owners & so many people who love pets but are unable to have their own can connect & fulfill the needs of both through this service. An owner can select the ideal person/couple from a pool of potential Sitters to stay and take over daily care of animals, gardens, and household requirements to take long needed vacations without worry returning to find all is in order as if you never left. The Sitters are able to travel and experience life and extraordinary animals in unique surroundings to satisfy their need for unconditional attention. What a bargain!

As retirement was inevitable, we knew it was time to make a decision about how we could have purpose and help others. After helping friends with their place and their pet who had an medical emergency they help plant the idea of becoming house and pet sitters. We decided to give it try. Having this website makes it so much easier to navigate where we would like to visit.
Tip for consumers:
Understand you need to be flexible. When caring for someone’s home, we treat it like our own. Take pride in what you do and assure your homeowner that you have this— go and have a great time.

We used trustedhousesitters for the first time last month, after hearing great things from friends. We found the most amazing housesitter, & now friend. Our dogs were well taken care of & we received daily updates and photos. Everything we asked was done with our dogs, down to the smallest detail. Our house was also well cared for & we came home to it in excellent condition. Great communication. Easy website to navigate & a lot of tech support/help if needed. When I posted the dates I needed for a housesitter, I got 7 replies within 24hrs. Lots of options. Great company!

When we arrived at their lovely home, we were greeted, warmly, by Jenn and family. The informative orientation was straight-forward. Rosie is an adorable loving cat who is wonderful company. She likes to play with her toys and she enjoys cuddling and purring; we like it, too. We really enjoy our stay with Rosie in such a warm loving household.

House Sitters UK is a fantastic option in the United Kingdom. It's free for hosts to sign up and costs less than £30 for sitters. Moreover, they offer exceptional customer service unlike THS, which resorts to labeling dissatisfied reviewers as trolls. Such unprofessional behavior reflects poorly on the company. If you're interested, I recommend visiting the THS forum on R e d d i t, where individuals can freely share their opinions about the company without being subjected to moderation.

We have been members of Trustedhousitters for a few years, we moved to the Seattle area about six months ago with the intention of settling down in a small village on the Puget Sound. We decided to use trusted house sitters to explore the area before making a final decision.
We have now been sitting in the Seattle area for the last six months and have fallen in love with Bainbridge Island where we intend to make home. However we are having so much fun with the house sits we have done, the pets and people we have met, we have decided to continue doing the sits indefinitely.
Trustedhousesitters is a great company and I recommend it to everyone I meet.
