TrustedHousesitters is one of the largest house and pet sitting networks, so we are confident you will connect with some wonderful sitters. 

As an introductory platform for a global pet-loving community, we enable pet parents to connect with sitters who will sit for free in exchange for the chance to spend time with some amazing pets along with free accommodation. Due to this fair exchange we have a minimum of a one night sit but there is no maximum duration.

In terms of joining, you would want to register under our Pet Parent Membership - there is an annual subscription and this gives you unlimited access to the site meaning you can post as many dates as you like to look for a sitter.

To help members get the most from their memberships we have broken them down into 3 different tiers; Basic, Standard and Premium. You can find out more about the features included in each membership tier through our pricing page. 

Once you have joined the community, you can start your search for your perfect sitter:

1.) The first step is creating your home listing. This is where you can put up photos of your home and pets and include all the information about what will be involved in caring for these, along with the dates you are looking for a sitter. 

2.) Then once your listing has been approved by us, it will go live on the site for sitters to start applying directly to you via your inbox on the site.

3.) You can then get to know different sitters via phone/video call to find out if it is the right fit for you both.

You can find lots more advice and discussions on all things house sitting, pets, travel, and more on our community forum. Check it out today.
