Our Story: From Adventure to House Sitting

HouseSit Match’s roots go beyond simply offering house sitting services. It all started with a personal story of adventure, resilience, and a desire to make travel affordable for everyone.

Lamia Walker, our founder, began her journey in Sudan before being forced to move to London after a military coup. This dramatic life change sparked a passion for travel, and Lamia found ways to explore the world while minimising costs.

After learning about the concept of house sitting, she realised it could change the way people travel and take care of their homes and pets. In 2013, HouseSit Match was born.
