Trusted House Sitters

I was recommended this website after literally YEARS of struggling for petcare whilst I went away. As a result, I chose not to go away, as it was too much hassle/expense. Trustedhousesitters was recommended to me by an old school friend who was living in London. I gave it a try & have now used the service twice. I don't know who thought up the idea, but they deserve a medal!
The service provided has not only allowed me to go away, but it has generated a WHOLE NEW LIFE! I have bought a property in France & have been able to slowly follow my dream of going to live there. Without the help of the house sitters, I would never have been able to afford the cost, not to mention the peace of mind I've experienced with the carefully vetted animal lovers. So THANK YOU SO MUCH to trustedhousesitters I owe you a LOT! Keep up the good work. Not only will the move enhance my life but it will do the same for my three dogs, creating more space for them inside & out in a wonderful rural setting...

We have a dog and 3 cats and some small animals and we love to travel. This is the perfect solution for us. We have had 3 perfect sitters, and one time a sitter who wanted to leave earlier. THS customer service was directly available to help find a solution.
The problem is how to select a sitter, and if they cancel or leave early, what do you do?
Of course you choose some one with many good reviews. This makes it dificult for new members to find a house sit. This is not for people who are looking for a cheap holiday. For house and pet owners it is the best solution I found so far, if you can accept that strangers live in your house. It helps if you have a nice house in an actractive area, alltough you will always worry that your selected house sitters change their mind. I would recommend a lot of communication before and during the house sit.

Had a great time visiting all the places, staying in beautiful homes and enjoying the company of adorable animals. Definately recommend joining trusted house sitters, Ive never regretted it.

A wide range of goods, reasonable prices, attentive, polite and knowledgeable staff. I've been using the store's services for many years, and I'm very satisfied with everything.

I live in a semi-rural area where it's very difficult to find local pet-sitters, especially anyone willing to stay in my house while I'm away (everyone here has their own homes and pets to tend to). I have 2 people-loving, indoor kitties who need plenty of playtime, affection, and a somewhat thoughtful approach to their diets. Since bringing them home 3+ years ago, I've hardly gone away because it's been so hard to find someone. Since joining Trusted House-sitters, I've gotten away twice, once for a long weekend, and most recently for 2 weeks. Both times I received several inquiries in response to my listing, and selected people with a track-record of 5-star reviews and a nice rapport over Skype. Both times I felt completely confident that my home and kitties were in excellent hands. The house-sitters were highly responsible, conscientious and reliable people. I received daily updates and photos, and came home each time to a perfectly tidy house and very contented kitties who seemed to adore the sitters. There's a bonding experience that happens all around-- the sitters practically become part of the family.

It's actually surprising to see any negative reviews for this site. It's possible that I've been fortunate to find great sitters because I live in a somewhat desirable vacation destination, at least for certain times of the year. My sense is that the sitters are people who enjoy traveling (and pets) and are joining this site in order to explore interesting places without having to pay for accommodations. That may be something to keep in mind before paying the membership fee.

I can not support TH for any potential house sitter! I did stellar care for dozens of happy homeowners in Mexico, US, Canada and Costa Rica. I sent many dozens of people to the site and got them ALLOT of business. Many people signed up with them on my recommendations. For two years. Then I had the house-sit from hell. It was complicated, but basically, a rat-infested home, owners that lied and manipulated, and then abused my services. WARNING TO ALL HOUSE-SITTERS: THEY WILL SIDE WITH THE HOMEOWNER NO MATTER WHAT. PERIOD. Despite volumes of proof from my end, photos, emails, etc, TH after years of my service, cut me off. I can not access my contacts, my data, and all my prior homeowners can not reach me though the site. A total nightmare. Support at TH is worse than bad. I DO NOT RECOMMEND TRUSTED HOUSE SITTERS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. To elsewhere!

Elizabeth and Dean have a beautiful home filled with lots of love and creativity. There is cultured and whimsical art everywhere. Elizabeth's since of humor shows up in her art. Dean has made many beautiful pieces of fine furniture throughout the home. What Elizabeth and Dean have created is a magnificent, immaculate, and elegant sanctuary.

The home is located close to Lake Travis in a quiet, private neighborhood. There are lots of cedar and oak trees making the home a peaceful, enchanted, and secluded setting.

The kitchen is well stocked and modern with every necessary utensil.
The Spa turns into a waterfall and night and makes a wonderfully pleasant water sound.

Even though we were welcome to use any part of the house, we mostly enjoyed hanging out in the "Outdoor Room" with Sofi.

Sofi is well behaved, calm, fun, sweet, playful, and the cute regal lady of the house and yard. She loves to play Frisbee. She chases her tail when excited and sometime catches it! A real darling that just wanted to be where we were.

Elizabeth and Dean are meticulously organized so it was easy to find anything we needed. Elizabeth and Dean are stable, easy going, kind, caring, thoughtful, generous, and intelligent. They welcomed us like kindred friends making every effort for us feel comfortable and welcome in their home.

Every possible amenity for our comfort had been carefully thought out and tastefully provided for. There is even an "any device" charging station in the kitchen. Every possible contingency is considered and planned for; they thought of absolutely everything.

As with most good things in life - 'you get back from life what you put in to it' - and this is very true of OUR experience with 'Trusted Housesitters'. Every house-sit, from our first in Sandy, OR 2-1/2 years ago to the latest one last week in Victoria, BC, has been a delight. We have had multiple call-back sits with four of our TH house-sits, each of which have resulted in exciting new friendships.
