Your Local Professional Pet Sitters

A sitter stays in your home during the agreed assignment and follows the instructions prepared for your pets and property. Our pet sitting service can include feeding, dog walks, companionship and agreed household tasks, depending on your requirements. Before the booking, we ask about your animals and use a detailed briefing form to record their routines. Your sitter then has written guidance and support from our office throughout the assignment. Keeping pets at home allows them to remain in familiar surroundings while you travel. Tell us about their behaviour and needs so we can discuss a suitable sitting arrangement together.

Yes. All our sitters are personally interviewed in their own homes, thoroughly vetted and insured through The Home Service. Our insurance arrangements include £10 million public liability insurance, professional indemnity insurance and employers’ liability insurance, providing additional reassurance when arranging care for your home and pets. Our sitters are employed by the company and maintain daily contact with head office throughout each assignment. These insurance policies, alongside our thorough vetting procedures and ongoing office support, help you book with confidence. All insurance cover is subject to policy terms and conditions, and our team can explain the arrangements before booking. This cover does not replace your own home or pet insurance.

Before each assignment, we work with you to understand your pets, property and care requirements. A detailed briefing form records the instructions your sitter follows while you are away. Explain feeding times, walking routines, plant care and any agreed household tasks, along with instructions for doors, windows and alarms. Include practical details about how your home works so the sitter has clear guidance from the start. Our sitters follow your instructions and respect your privacy throughout the booking. Taking time to prepare a thorough briefing helps organise care around your household and gives everyone a clear understanding of their responsibilities.

Sitters check in with head office regularly to confirm that all is well, keeping our team connected to each assignment. Our house sitting service also includes round-the-clock head office backup, so sitters have support if an unexpected situation arises. This includes support with household emergencies such as leaks, power failures and security issues. Sitters follow the client briefing and the company’s rules for property care, confidentiality and responsible conduct. They must remain in residence until properly relieved. This combination of written instructions, daily communication and office support helps maintain an organised service while you are away from home.

Yes. Our home sitting service provides a responsible presence in your property while you are away, even if you have no pets. The arrangement can include bringing in post, attending to plants and following agreed instructions for doors, windows, curtains and alarms. Before the assignment, we discuss the property and record the household tasks in your briefing. Your sitter stays in the home and maintains contact with our office during the booking. A sitter’s presence complements sensible precautions rather than removing every risk. Tell our team your dates and requirements so we can discuss availability and suitable care.

Our probate sitting service provides live-in caretaking for properties during estate administration. It offers a responsible presence and agreed everyday care for a home that might otherwise be unoccupied. We discuss the property, who is responsible for it and the tasks required before arranging an assignment. Clear instructions help establish access arrangements, household responsibilities and who should be contacted if something needs attention. Your sitter follows the agreed briefing, with support from our office. The arrangement does not replace property insurance requirements or legal advice. Get in touch with our team to discuss the circumstances, dates and property care needed.
