I have recently joined the Housesitting Company as a sitter. To date I have found their staff delightful to work with. They have been very efficient, professional and made me feel very welcome to this new environment I am entering into. I look forward to many happy sits going forward.

Customer Service with staff is the best

We love the customer service this site offers in compared with others.
It provides us with a confidence that we can call if we need to have a question answered etc; if we cannot get in touch with a potential Housesit opportunity. And the service is incredibly responsive especially from Milly or Victoria.
We nightly recommend to all.

I’m very happy to have chosen the housesittting company for my trip to NZ. As a sitter, I have found the process to be so clear and safe. There are real people checking up who you are so this can be as safe as possible which is a very important thing for me. I have met Milly over zoom and she has been so helpful and warm. I’m very excited to get on with the whole process!

Excellent service

I was very impressed by the service I received. I had a call not long after I signed up asking if I had any questions. I did find the process of picking a house sitter quite cumbersome but that is probably just me!
One week before our holiday our house sitter had to cancel due to unforeseen circumstances. The company very quickly contacted me to arrange someone else, which was a seamless process.
