The Original Pet Sitting site

We've been connecting UK pet owners with trusted pet sitters & dog sitters for a decade.

Pet owners mostly get a "House Sitter" to care for their pets—so we've ALWAYS been a "Pet Sitting" and a "Dog Sitting" site (and a chicken sitting / horse sitting / farm sitting etc... site).

Because we've been doing this so long, we've got the experience, the security and the award-winning support to give you the very best service.

Free for owners

It’s totally free to join, place a job ad & secure a house sitter. AND... the sitter will look after your pets, house & garden - all for free.

Sitters pay £29

A year of membership costs £29 - a fraction of the price of a night's hotel accommodation. The value is incredible & it's easy to get started.

Trusted for years

5 star, ID verified sitters, genuine reviews & membership badges are just some features that help to build trust between members.

Loving, in-home care is best for your pets

Your pets feel safest and happiest in their own house, with familiar territory and routines. Ask any Vet.

Not even the best boarding facility will compare with their own home, and they are expensive. A house sitter provides loving care for your pets in their own house - for free.

If you have to leave your pets - get them a sitter.

We have been using House Sitters UK for the last three years and I am delighted to say, very successfully. You and your team are to be congratulated on running such a useful and efficient service. We've never had a bad experience, all our sitters have been everything we'd wish them to be: honest, reliable, conscientious, respectful, kind and above all they have cared and looked after our animals as if they were their own. From the admin and use of website point of view, we've found this to be very easy to navigate and incredibly efficient at distributing messages and updating information etc, taking out all the stress and worry from that side of things. I look forward to booking many more house sitters in the future. Dory - More Pet Owner testimonials

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to you for your website, and how lovely it is. We've been house sitting full time for 4.5 years and yours is the only website we use, after having tried plenty of others over the years. We're fully booked (many are repeats, of course) for 11 months of the year, every year, and every house sit we have found through your site has been fabulous. I know that website owners often go unnoticed despite the amount of work that is involved in running a website like yours, so I just wanted to pass on my thanks and to let you know that, in our view and experience, your website is hands down the nicest and best that we have come across in our house sitting world.

Garden

A house sitter will make sure that your pot plants are being watered & that your private oasis is cared for while you’re away.

House

Having someone in the house is the best form of home security. They can also deal with storm damage, pet emergencies etc.

Updates

You can contact your house sitter at any time to get pet updates, or to remind them about the garbage collection - for real PEACE OF MIND.
