Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have a question for us?
We are more than happy to answer any questions you may have about our house and pet sitting services. Below are a few of our frequently asked questions, though for specific enquiries we recommend you get in touch with us directly so we can fully understand your needs. Every house and pet sit is different, and we enjoy providing a personal experience for every client!
The easiest way to find out what we can do for you is to fill out our enquiry form – let us know a little about your home, any pets, and the dates you will need us and we’ll go from there!
Our house sitting rates start at £60/day. This includes us staying in your home during the day and overnight while you’re away, ensuring your property is secure and maintained, and also includes small daily tasks.
We do not have set rates for pet sitting as each situation is different! Our rates are dependent on the responsibilities you would like us to carry out while on the sit, therefore we ask that you provide us with as much information as possible when contacting us for a quote! This ensures that we give you an accurate price for the sit.
We have a multitude of experience caring for reactive and anxious pets, and are comfortable with committing to these responsibilities provided that we are given this information upfront. When we arrive at a house sit, we lets animals come to us and don’t rush them into trusting us – we follow your guidelines for how best to approach and care for them. We are sometimes able to meet pets before a house sit to let them get to know us before we stay, but this is usually after the booking has been confirmed. As we are nomadic, it’s not always possible to meet pets before we arrive for a house sit, but we will always make sure we have all the information we need to give your pets the best care before we arrive, and are happy to arrange phone calls or video calls to discuss details. If you have any specific concerns, feel free to contact us and we’ll discuss how best we can cater for your pets’ needs!
You can find more information about the kind of responsibilities that are included when you book us as your house sitters on our house sitting information page – though most of the time we can complete extra responsibilities when outlined upfront! For responsibilities that aren’t listed on our website, get in touch with us and we’d be more than happy to talk through your needs!
Over our years of full time house sitting, we have cared for a wide variety of animals and we enjoy expanding that list and getting to learn more about new animals! Here’s a list of some of the animals we’ve looked after over the years (If you have unusual pets that aren’t listed here, get in touch to enquire about our pet sitting services tailored to your needs) Dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, degus, chickens, parrots, cockatiels, quails, ducks, geese, guinea fowl, peacocks, doves, cows, pigs, goats, sheep, alpacas, donkeys, horses, ponies, bearded dragons, lizards, geckos, snakes, tortoises and snails.
We have been house and pet sitting full time since January 2018, completing over 150 house sits and caring for over 250 happy pets! For more information, head to our about us page or read more about our experience on our why choose us page.
We get from sit to sit in our own VW campervan, which is our home between house sits. We always make this clear to home owners in the initial conversation stage of our process as we need to ensure there is space for us to park our van at your home. For city sits, we may need to park outside the city and take the train in. Arranging house sits almost completely back to back full time takes a lot of organisation and preparation – two qualities that we pride ourselves on being proficient in.
