Frequently Asked Questions

House sitting is when someone stays at your house and looks after all day-to-day responsibilities associated with staying there while you are away. The benefit of this is that you don’t have an empty house for extended periods of time, which means there are less chances of break-ins.

If you have pets, a house sitter looks after your pets and cares for them as if they were their own. House and pet sitting saves you the high cost of placing your pets in a boarding facility. When you arrive home, you will find that your pets are much happier that they were able to stay in the safety of their own home.

While you’re away, enjoy receiving the photos or videos, along with “news from home” and mail, newspaper, packages, water indoor and outdoor plants will be taken care of as well.

Even the best housebroken dog/cat can have accidents while their owners are away. When this happens, the pets can be upset, nervous, or sick – this is not the fault of the pet sitter.

Almost always, these accidents can be easily cleaned up with no trace. Please be sure to leave carpet cleaner or other supplies that you know will not damage your carpet and have them available should there be the need.

I don’t think your goldfish would notice that you’re gone; however, your dog or cat will notice. Placing them in a kennel can be costly and let’s face it, it’s not like being at home in their own surroundings. I love caring for your pets while your away. They become my new furry-friends and yes, I do spoil them just a bit.

Check with your own insurance provider, but generally, you will find that most, if not all insurance companies consider an occupied home to be much safer than a vacant one. In fact, many insurance policies have a “vacancy clause,” which nullifies your insurance coverage after an extended absence. Please check with your own provider for the insurance ramifications of leaving your house vacant versus leaving it in the care of a professional house sitter.
