As well as caring for the pets, sitters are responsible for general home care tasks while on the sit. These responsibilities may include things like taking out household waste, watering the plants, or mowing the lawn, and should all be detailed on the pet parent's listing.

All responsibilities should be discussed and agreed by both members before the sit starts. It's important to note that pet parents must not ask sitters to complete professional services, such as maintenance work, home redecoration, or admin.
