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.
The steps (in brief)…
- Become a member and create your listing/profile
- Search for house sitters or house sitting assignments
- Create an email alert so that you can be notified instantly of new opportunities
- Meet up
- Finalise the deal
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.

I gave it a try and I'm glad I did ( Sitter)
I came from a different house sitting site that became too corporate for my taste. Part of the reason I chose this one is because I could bring my reviews from the other - I had earned many good ones. There are nice quality listings, though not as many as some big sites, the ratio feels better because I don't think there are as many sitters either. There's also no limit to the number of applicants a homeowner can accept, so a good sitter can really stand out. The support is provided by the people who have run the site since 2005, no AI, I really appreciate that. There is no app but the website works well on mobile and you can set up daily alerts for whatever search filters you choose. And obviously the cost is minimal compared to many other sites. For that reason I gave it a try and I'm glad I did because I've had many wonderful sits so far.

My 'go to' website ( Owner)
As a member of mindmyhouse for 16 years I have found the site to be user friendly and have used them to find local house sitters for our house, garden and animals. Their vetting service has always been reliable and they will continue to be my 'go to' when requiring a housesitter.

MindMyHouse News Jan 2026
Dear MindMyHousie’s, seasons greetings to you all. Susan and I also send you our best wishes for the new year of 2026. In this special seasonal edition of the MindMyHouse News, we are introducing a long awaited upgrade for house sitters and home owners: the Availability calendar for sitters and Date filtering for owners! We have also made a few other tweaks to the site: Sitters can now search assignments by more continents, and sitter alerts now include date searching. We also wanted to comment on the booking fees introduced by "you know who". Oh, and we have a new homepage design, and checkout the assignment annual heartbeat…
