Sitter Testimonials

I just wanted to say kudos to whomever was in charge of UX design. This site is by far the easiest, most intuitive clearinghouse type site I've ever used, and your admin support team are responsive and helpful. Well done, folks. That's all. Thank you. I hope you all have a wonderful day. Mara

We had such an amazing time house sitting, so very grateful for your service. We loved it so much. We are big advocates for house sitting, and tell everyone we can about the wonderful adventures we are having, and always point them to your website. Thanks again! It’s a wonderful community. Kind regards, Monique

Just to say that this is definitely the best site. You provide a great contact service with fast feedback and this is appreciated. All of our recent sits have been through your site and we recommend it to friends. Lots of people ask us about it. So the word is being spread! All the best Angela B

Love your website! Have got 2 sits lined up over the next 4 months. Well worth the membership fees. Thank you. Anna S.

Just wanted to say thank you for your wonderful service. We are from Australia and registered in May, and within a few days had locked in 4 wonderful house / pet sitting gigs for our time traveling in the UK. We have just finished our first one, which was absolutely fantastic. Got to see a beautiful part of Devon, and look after an adorable dog. Looking forward to our next one in a few days. Thanks so much again! Monique and Simon

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.

HousesittersUK is a great site! It really suits me. I looked carefully at a number of sites before choosing HousesittersUK. This site provides all the features I would want, such as a messaging system between owners and sitters and the ability to upload copies of important photographs and documents. As a newbie to this site, I had a number of queries. Members of staff have replied promptly and comprehensively to all my queries. It is great value for money. Most importantly, I have plenty of bookings. Well done HousesittersUK! Brian

I would like to thank you very much for providing the facility "House Sitters" for the past three years. I have travelled the whole of the UK looking after a wide variety of pets . My wife and I have taken care of chickens, dogs, cats and horses, lots of whom needed medication and special care whilst their owners were away on holiday. It has been a great pleasure for us and has enabled us to see this beautiful country at the same time as looking after pets. I would like to thank each and every owner for trusting two strangers with their precious pets and lovely homes. We were able to visit several homes on more than one occasion and enjoyed our time immensely. We are taking some time at home this year but will return to HouseSitters as soon as we can. Yours very Sincerely, Martin & Pat

Hi! I have had great and varied experiences with my house-sits for the seven months since I registered. I've been able to explore and made friends. Your site really does work well, without interfering. Janet

UK Team, I do find your website to be the best of any – not just house sitting - that I have ever used. Easy to navigate and effective and efficient. Regards. Josie

Hello, I would like to thank you for the great site you offer, we have used your site for the passed 6 months while we have been touring the UK, every house sit has been a joy. Suzie & Richard

May I just say your web site is by far the best out of numerous house sitting sites I have used. Kind Regards Mel

Thanks you very much for your great site. We have had 12 months of great adventures in different places. Ken & Simone

We are enjoying our housesits very much and making new friends. We are now house sitting until the end of March thanks to your site. Regards Brian and Kay

I have looked at other sites and must say that yours is the most user friendly and easy to get round. Jen

We would just like to say WOW how fantastic your site is and so pleased we joined your service. We are very new at this game but already we have 3 very beautiful house/pet sits booked for Dec., Jan. and Feb. Thank you so much for making your site so user friendly and having so many lovely houses to be ‘sat’. Mike & Pam

Sara and I had 1 "house-sitting job" (in Cardiff) for 10 days, we had a fantastic time. It offered us a great opportunity to meet and talk to some excellently different people. We found this such an exciting challenge, we may arrange to return to UK or another continent where there maybe similar opportunities available to "house-sit". Thank you. Tony & Sara

Dear Housesitters UK. I had 3 house sits through your site from May to July this year. Each house sit was great. I've even made some new friends both the furry kind and human kind and am planning to come back in 2015. I even had to turn down some offers as I was returning to Australia in August. Thanks for making my long holiday fabulous Christine

We have our first 'sit' in Sth Kensington, our first ever. As we had hoped that a London 'sit' might come up, again we are very pleased. Joan & Colin

We have been members of your site for over a year and have successfully completed 4 house sits obtained through it with another booked next week, and we have had to turn several down, so we are very pleased with your service. We find that your site has a very friendly feel to it and is also very user friendly, thank you. Philip and Marion

This site is amazing. I only joined your list of sitters a few days ago and already have my first 'sit' confirmed, having met the owners yesterday. The website itself is impressive, well thought out, easy to use and understand, and full of helpful information. I'm looking forward very much to becoming a regular sitter! Ray Flahant

I can not believe how amazing this site is. Thank you. We found the most perfect house sitter, Helga, in the whole wide world. Our cats and our bunny are beyond calm on our return from a fantastic holiday. And the house is immaculate. How would we have found her without you! Rebecca

Just a quick message to say what a great site you have. I only registered as a sitter a few weeks ago and within two days had two 'sits' organised. In fact I am on one now in Shoreham and having a wonderful time. Whilst on my trip here I have had two more approaches for house/pet sits. I looked at several websites but yours was by far the best. It's opened up a whole new world to me. Thanks. Anne B

I just want to say your new website design is beautiful! It can only make a great site better. FYI I'm writing this while minding a house in London for a lovely family... Beth R

Love the ease of using the site.Very user-friendly. Have had a great experience. It's such a win-win for everyone. Loretta and Andrew

Dear Housesitters UK. What a great site! We were contacted by a homeowner in our first week of listing with you and are looking forward to taking up more house sitting positions in the UK (or other areas of the world) next year. Thank you! Tracey and Jeff

Two sitting jobs confirmed in two weeks! thank you. Greta and Richard

I am now a regular house-sitter for people who have approached me on House Sitters UK. The website has made these introductions possible and meant it's been easy to establish myself as a house-sitter. Thank you! Helen

What an amazingly rewarding thing it is to house and pet sit. I am widowed and retired now and sadly cannot have a pet of my own. I so enjoy taking care of other people’s pets (and homes) and how, surprisingly, I get so attached to them, from dogs and cats to alpaca and sheep! House Sitters UK offers a marvellous service. Kerry

I would like to say what a great site this is; I've had some wonderful house-sits since subscribing a year ago. Helen

All my experiences on Housesitters have been thoroughly enjoyable and it made it possible for me to have a holiday at a time when I really couldn't have done so otherwise so thank you so much. It was really encouraging to meet and connect with some lovely people. Thank you and all the best for the future. Belinda

You have kept us very busy in our first year with you. Your site is so easy to use and the home owners think it’s great too. For the membership fee it is incredible value for money. We only deal with your website, it’s great. We have met great people and dogs, chickens, fish and beautiful places around the country. I (Mac), took early retirement to look after dogs and it has turned out to be brilliant. Let’s hope your website continues for many years to come, you’re doing a great job. 10 weeks of 2016 are booked already, thanks to you!!! Mac & John

Good morning, just a short note to say how great your site is and how impressed I am with your team!! I look forward to on going use of your program. Suzie

I love your site. It is so easy to use. I was able to find a house sit really quickly and spend my accommodation money traveling around london! Carrie

It's always a pleasure dealing with such nice support staff. Thanks for adding my photo for me I'm very new to computers. I've already been contacted by two homeowners since joining last week. Elizabeth

I am very new to this, but I can tell you that I did get a contact immediately on your site. (I'm only interested in London house sits right now.) I wasn't able to take it because I already have a privately arranged house-sit for that period, but it did show that there is some life in your system. I wish you all the best Bill

We used your site to find a house to live in whilst searching for a house to buy. We were contacted by a lovely couple who wanted their two small dog looked after for nearly three months. We accepted this and have just finished. What a lovely time we had. We were surrounded by beautiful views. The home owners were very happy with our care. Still looking for a house to buy but it will come. Thank you for the facility. Ruth & Selby
