As well as caring for the owner’s 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 owner's listing.

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