What is Dog Sitting?

travel is one of the benefits of house sitting for sitters

Dog sitting is a personal, home-based service where a sitter comes to your home to care for your dog while you’re away. Unlike dog hotels or boarding kennels, dog sitting allows your dog to stay in its familiar environment, maintaining its regular routine and comforts.


This setup reduces stress and anxiety for your pet, offering a more natural, home-like experience. Dog sitters provide not only feeding and exercise but also companionship and care, ensuring your dog feels secure and happy.


For dog owners, it’s the perfect way to provide comfort and love for your pet. For potential dog sitters, it’s an opportunity to see the world while spending time with dogs and building a community of like-minded animal lovers.

Why Choose HouseSit Match for Dog Sitting?

  • Comfort and Familiarity: Your dog stays in its own home, reducing stress and anxiety.
  • Routine and Stability: Maintains your dog's daily schedule, including feeding times and exercise.
  • Personalised Attention: Dog sitters offer one-on-one care, ensuring your dog’s needs are met.
  • No Travel Required: Your dog doesn't have to travel to a new environment, avoiding potential anxiety triggers.
  • Health and Safety: Reduced risk of exposure to illnesses from other animals in kennels.

The benefits for dog sitters are twofold. In exchange for providing loving care, you receive free accommodation, reducing living expenses while doing something you love. This arrangement fosters meaningful connections with both pets and pet owners, making it a rewarding experience.

Costs Associated with Dog Sitting

Choosing dog sitting through HouseSit Match is not only convenient but also far more cost-effective compared to traditional dog hotels.
