What Our Members Say

Real stories from homeowners and sitters who've found trusted matches and genuine connections through HouseSit Match.

I had the most wonderful time caring for Molly, a beautiful, sweet, clever Labrador in Chesham, UK. Molly was a joy to care for and she was affectionate, playful and loved her walks and ball throwing and tug-o-war. Chesham is a beautiful area with lovely fields for dog walking and Jan is kind and considerate and her cottage is lovely and comfortable. I look forward to a return sit very soon.I had a wonderful experience caring for Molly, a clever and affectionate Labrador in Chesham, UK. The home was welcoming, the area was beautiful and I can't wait to return.
