What is house sitting?

Simply put, house sitting is the practice whereby a home owner, leaving their house for a period of time, entrusts it to one or more "house sitters", who by mutual agreement are entitled to live there rent-free in exchange for assuming responsibilities such as taking care of the homeowner's pets, performing general maintenance etc.

Our house sitting agreement

When two perfect strangers meet and arrange to take care of each other's house sitting requirements, it's a good idea that they both go into the situation equipped with a copy of our house sitting agreement. We cover all the bases with this plain-English, editable document.

Why choose us?

MindMyHouse is something of a different creature to those other house sitting matching services you will find on the Internet. For a start, in 'online years' we are pretty old now! We launched our service from a tiny flat in London, UK in February 2005 when we were one of only four online house sitting matching sites with a global userbase.

Dalmation doggy

You also won’t find us on social media for a reason! We think that stuff is fluff. We're just a small 'mom and pop' family business – our business ethos is about providing our members with an advertising free zone in which to find each other and meet up to do all that adventuring while house sitting worldwide. No sponsorship, or pictures of women laughing at salad on our site! We also believe in humans (no bots or AI).

What do our members say?

  • A hug and big congratulations on your anniversary ( Sitter)

    A hug and big congratulations on your anniversary. You have been a huge blessing to us throughout these many years. From way back in the beginning I have used both the homeowners and the sitter sites and have had wonderful experiences them. Most recently we’ve been able to revisit cities that I felt needed more in depth time, caring for pets and more deeply exploring the cities. London, Barcelona, and New York City. We are now in our 80s, it’s been 20 years with you, and we are still loving travels around the world. We are blessed and you have been a big part of that blessing.

  • I just created my new profile on this site and... ( Owner)

    I just created my new profile on this site, it was approved within 24 hours by very responsive customer service and within 12 hours of listing pending dates I was contacted by 6 promising sitters who were willing to travel internationally and provide references and reviews. It’s an easy to navigate, simple interface with a few basic sections, filling out the profile and uploading a maximum of 10 photos (no separate area for pets) and a brief bio and a few other description boxes I was done within 20 minutes. My listing was approved within 24 hours, and within the first 12 hours of posting dates for a pending trip next March I received a half dozen replies from sitter applicants willing to travel internationally, who are ready and willing to provide extensive references and reviews, many linking back to THS. The fee for hosts is $29 for life. There are no yearly renewal or booking fees. Sitters pay the same but it’s an annual renewal.
