How you choose a sitter
You pick the sitter. Every time.
Nobody gets assigned to your home. Sitters apply to you, you look at who they are, and you decide who is your perfect fit.
Step 01
Publish your listing
Your dates, your pets, your home, your house rules and a few good photos. The first time takes about half an hour, and every sit after that reuses it.

Step 03
Meet on a video call
Most owners book a short call, usually around fifteen minutes. Ask how they would handle a vet emergency, how often they will send photos, what their days look like. You will know quickly whether it clicks.

The exchange
Why would anyone do this for free?
Because a free stay in a real home, with a pet to come back to, beats a hotel. And because their reviews are their currency: one careless sit and nobody picks them again.
Sitters pay their own travel, follow your house rules, and leave your home as they found it. In return they get a free stay and a review that opens the next door.
And some of the best sitters we know are already here.
Remote workers
“I can work from anywhere. A quiet home with a cat on my lap is my favourite office.”
Retired, travelling slowly
“We love to explore new places and take long country walks, and that's even better with a dog or three at our sides.”
Travelling photographers
“The joy of new experiences, the companionship of our four-legged friends, and the pleasure of giving owners peace of mind.”
