Benefits for Home Owners
- Access capable, trustworthy house sitters
House sitters are carefully screened and appointed by you and for many this is a regular activity, so they're motivated to do the best they can with an eye to future house sitting assignments, either for you or someone you recommend them to. This means you can count on a pool of motivated house sitters who are trustworthy and reliable.
- Your pets stay comfortable in their own home
Your pets will be happier and much more comfortable in their own home instead of a strange kennel. They can sleep and play in accustomed places with their own toys and familiar sights and smells. House sitters provide companionship and exercise by playing with them and walking them while you are away.
- You can relax knowing all is well at home
You have peace of mind and can relax and enjoy your holiday comfortable in the knowledge your pets are being well cared for and have regular close human contact. Your house sitter can water your plants, bring in the mail, keep the garden tidy and give your home a lived in look, providing security for your property and possessions by just being there.
- You will save on pet boarding costs
The expense of boarding out your pets when you are away can be prohibitive. With a house sitter your pets stay in the comfort of their own home at no cost to you.
What Home Owners are saying…
“ Dear Mindahome, Thank you for your wonderful house and pet sitting site. I used this site for the first time last week when I needed to go to Melbourne for a week. I used the services of one of your house sitters Deborah (ID 8BV) and Deb was amazing. I have 3 cats and she cared for them extremely well. Deb answered my ad straight away and happily for me cared for my 3 cats and my home on fairly short notice. My cats and home were well looked after. Deb is a really friendly and responsible person and of course she was very tidy and accommodating. I would not hesitate to recommend Deb to anyone wanting to utilize her services. You can rest easy that your home and pets will be well cared for by Deb and I would not hesitate to use Deb again if she is available. Thanks again Mindahome-what a great site. I have recommended it to 3 people already! Kind regards Anita”
