HouseSit Match Reviews 

We have been so lucky to have this experience of house sitting in France with HouseSit Match it was an amazing way to enjoy living like a local with the added bonus of enjoying animals and the local area on Bordeaux! Totally the best way to travel

This was our first introduction to house sitting and HouseSit Match and we couldn't be more impressed. The communication with both HouseSit Match and our future house sitter was prompt, clear and constructive at all times. We used a combination of the website and WhatsApp. HouseSit Match talked us through what was involved, helped set up our advert and promoted our requirement to their database of house sitters. We had a match within a few days. Our experience with the House Sitter was exactly as required. They looked after both our house and our pet dog perfectly. A very positive experience and one that we will be repeating. Thank you HouseSit Match.

Unbeatable value and fantastic long-term sits!
​After two years on HouseSit Match, I can confidently say it’s our absolute favorite platform. If you love long housesits, this site always delivers!
​Out of all the sites we use, this one is by far the best value for money and gets us the most sits.
We’ve met incredible, like-minded people through.
You can get PAID while housesitting if you provide a blog or social media sharing.
​We brag about it so much that my brother and his wife just signed up and on thier own housesitting journey.

HouseSitMatch is the first paid membership-based platform I used and it remains the most cost effective (no added fees or upselling) while providing a genuine personal touch (no bots, only real people) through the patient guidance and tireless assistance of Lamia 'nothing is too much ask' Walker.

HSM sit offers are varied with a broad international footprint. You are guaranteed quality matches driven by a rigorous vetting process and good Founder energy.

Lamia has turned a true passion project into a vibrant business that operates with startup enthusiasm and feel good community vibes.

This is such a great service!! Lamia has stepped in to help lots of times when I’ve got in a last minute mess, and I’ve managed to arrange a few house sits now. All the sitters have been lovely. Very responsible with my house and animals. Highly recommended - you won’t regret it!

I am relatively new to the world of house sitting but needed someone to look after our place in France.
HouseSitMatch came to my rescue. Getting set up was straightforward, and Lamia was quick to respond with help and support when I had any questions.
After posting the ad, the was a rapid influx of applications from trustworthy sitters.

HouseSitMatch is a wonderful, invaluable resource, and I would thoroughly recommend it.

HouseSit Match is an amazing opportunity to house sit not just in this country but anywhere in the world. My first house sit was in February on a Scottish Estate for a month with no pets to look after. The owners just wanted a presence on their property for security reasons and it was an incredible experience. I have 2 more house sits booked. One looking after a dog for 2 weeks at the end of May and the other a cat sit for 2 months in a lovely cottage in a small country village in October. I'm very excited. My aim is to gain experience with a view to be chosen to house sit abroad in the future. There are so many house sits to choose from with HouseSit Match and if you are looking to experience other areas and wish to travel a bit to explore the world with free accomodation, this is an ideal way to do it. Obviously a love of pets is required but not all house sits have pets. They are just looking for security whilst on holiday. Lamia the owner of HouseSit Match has helped me all the way and guided me through the application process and supported me with all my applications. If your looking at house sitting, this is the perfect company to go with that supports you throughout and has a lot of house sit offers from Estates, to Penthouse apartments to Chateauxs and Villas from week to week. I highly recommend HouseSit Match

This site is definitely the best house sit site I have used. Lamia and her team provide such personal approach and will talk you through any problems and even write your ads for you.
Well done 👍

We have used the services of Housesit Match on two occasions with different sitters. We have been very satisfied with the administration and help from Housesit Match. The sitters have been very friendly and caring giving us confidence to travel leaving our cats and home in their care. We are pleased that our sitters have enjoyed staying in our home and exploring the lovely area of France in which we live. Our cats were happy remaining in their home environment and not have the stress of the dreaded pet carriers and the restrictions of a cattery. Our home was very well cared for too. We will happily use Housesit Match again.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I had an absolutely fantastic experience with House Sit Match, and I can’t recommend them highly enough.
Lamia, the owner, went above and beyond from the very beginning. She personally helped me set up my profile and guided me step-by-step through the entire process of finding the right sitters. What could have felt overwhelming was made simple, clear, and actually enjoyable thanks to her support.
Her communication was outstanding throughout — always responsive, patient, and genuinely invested in making sure everything was just right. She stayed involved right through to the final stages, ensuring the contract was signed and everything was in place, which gave me complete peace of mind.
From a customer service perspective, I truly couldn’t have asked for more — it was exceptional in every way.
If you’re considering House Sit Match, do it. You’ll be in incredibly safe and capable hands.

What truly distinguishes HouseSit Match from other sitting platforms is the personalized experience they offer. If you have any queries or issues, a quick call connects you directly with the owner, who personally assists over the phone and chat—an uncommon feature among competitors. As a sitter, I responded to a sit listing and quickly found myself in a video call the following day. The process of handling details and confirmation was seamless, and we promptly signed a standard mutual agreement, finalizing the sit with ease. The owner's openness to suggestions reflects the trustworthiness and simplicity of partnering with HouseSit Match. Their FAQ section is thoughtfully organized, providing valuable information, and the blogs authored by the owner, along with contributions from pet/homeowners and sitters, are not only enjoyable but highly informative. HouseSit Match is undoubtedly at the top of my list. Despite my experience with another paid sitting service and various private groups, this speaks volumes about my satisfaction in finding opportunities and collaborating through their site.

Housesitmatch.com is an incredibly reliable site for house sitting. I've had wonderful individuals from distant places like Canada come to care for my cats, all of whom have been thoroughly police checked. I’ve also enjoyed some pet sitting adventures myself, which have been a lot of fun. Lamia is always available to assist, even on weekends. Big thanks for your kindness, Lamia!

We joined in 2024 looking for someone to sit our Barn Conversion for 3 month in 2025 while we travelled. We looked at quite a few sites but found the reviews concerning on some and the lack of support disappointing on others. One we found HouseSit Match we were quietly hopeful. Lamia was absolutely brilliant helping us set up our advert and checking in to make sure we were happy and getting what we needed as 1st timers. Success! We found an amazing couple who actually came and sat the whole period leaving us happy to fly off and enjoy our long awaited holiday. Dave and Sandra came a few days before so we knew we were leaving everything in capable hands and then waited till our (slightly later than planned) return so they could hand the house back in person. Amazing....we will definitely be using again!

The personal touch on HouseSit Match is what sets them apart from other sitting sites. Have a question or problem? Call and you get the company's owner answering the phone and chat. Unheard of on other platforms.
As a sitter, I recently answered a posted sit and was on a video call with them the next day. Details and confirmation went extremely smoothly and a standard contract of understanding was signed by both of us immediately thereafter and the sit is confirmed and set. Easy!
The owner is open to suggestions, which shows the trustworthiness and ease of working with HouseSit Match. The FAQ is well set and helpful and informative, and the blogs written by the owner, along with pet/homeowners and sitters are not only fun to read, but extremely helpful. The company is definitely top of my list -- and I'm also on another paid sitting site and private groups as well, so that definitely says something about how I feel working with/finding sits through HouseSit Match.

As a pet sitter I found it quite easy to get good sitting opportunities. Anytime I had questions about membership etc I received prompt and valuable information. I'm a member of several sitting sites but this site is by far the best especially for professional service.

I am a member as both a homeowner and a house sitter. I’ve had excellent experiences from both sides. Lamia is exceptionally helpful and makes using the website very easy and is always willing to help.
The fact that the house sitters are background checked gives great peace of mind.
It is a system that really works well and I would and have highly recommended HouseSitMatch widely.

I love this site, which is saying a lot coming from me. Wonderful exchange of services. I really recommend working with Lamia to find and meet wonderful owners and their pets. We are really enjoying getting to be around pets again and helping out when needed.

I would highly recommend HousesitMatch as a professional, supportive, kind & welcoming company. We are definitely converted to house/pet sitting and would recommend to anyone who is thinking about joining HousesitMatch to go for it.

The opportunity to travel both in the UK & Abroad and become part of the local communitiy is well worth exploring.

What attracted me initially to HousesitMatch is that it’s a small business owned by a lovely lady who made me feel very comfortable. We had an initial chat & I applied for a few Housesits, after background checks etc. were completed. We applied for a few sits and were successful in our application to look after a house with a dog and our housesitting journey began.

My husband & I have enjoyed every minute, we have been on many adventures and have really settled in to country life with a dog, who has been an absolute joy and is a real character, we have met lots of new people and explored lots of area and beyond.

As a homeowner, I was initially trepidatious about having virtual strangers in my home to care for my animals, but as many pet owners know, if you want to travel, you need someone to look after your home and pets. I was lucky to have chanced upon HouseSitMatch. Rather than being owned by a corporate conglomerate or hedge-fund, it's privately run and that shows in the contact Lamia has with each person, the care she takes with background checks, her quick responses and excellent guidance. I've now had four couples in my home to look after my animals and each one has been a fantastic fit. They are all genuine animal lovers, curious travelers, respectful homeowners and great communicators. With some, their glowing reviews tell the story, so there's nothing left for me to ask. With others, we start talking about world travels and by the time they arrive, it feels like an old friend has come to stay. I think it comes down to Lamia's personal attention with both pet sitter and homeowner, and the fact that no one is reduced to a number as can happen with huge sites. Here, each "match" is truly a match between homeowners and pet/travel lovers. I'm tremendously happy I found HouseSitMatch and would recommend without hesitation.

We couldn't have eased into the housesitting world any easier, having been pet owners and worked with the company for many years. The team has been very supportive and caring. Lamia, one of the founders, is truly special and warm. It was a pleasure meeting her after so many years. She is quick to answer and handhold you when needed. We loved our sit, the dog, and the owners were lovely. It went without a hitch, and we look forward to sitting again with housesitMatch. They live up to their name.
