House sitters provide you with a much cheaper alternative to kennels or catteries because not only can you leave your pets in their own stress-free environment with continued care and attention, but you also get a live-in security person, someone to water and look after your plants and lawns, clear the mail and even look after the pool if you have one. Our sitters will also walk your dog regularly, administer any medication and generally bond really well with your pets.
Having a responsible Homesit house sitter in your home will be the next best thing to being there yourself. Homesit gives you peace of mind. Our sitters love animals and are reliable, honest, kind and professional.
Our house sitters may be people with a mobile office who can work from wherever they are living, people waiting for their own home to be built, moving to a new region, or perhaps people living in a situation where they are not allowed pets, so they like to look after someone else's. Some are retired, some work part-time and others work fulltime.
Once we have established your particular requirements for your home and pets, we will nominate a house sitter who is best for your situation. You will decide the sitter's duties and discuss and agree these with them in advance.
A sitter can walk your dogs, feed your cats and other pets and give them appropriate and affectionate care. They will clear your mailbox and maintain a regular presence at your home and carry out other duties by arrangement. Our Terms of Agreement, to be signed by you and your sitter, will clarify responsibilities and prevent any misunderstandings.
If you need to find a pet sitter or house sitter at short notice, we will do our best to find the right person. It is best to request a sitter well ahead of time so we can arrange for the most appropriate placement.
When you have a Homesit house sitter, our intention is that life at your place will largely continue as usual and prospective intruders or burglars won't have any idea you're away.
