About this app

Calling all pet-loving explorers

Find loving, verified pet sitters to keep your furry family safe and happy at home while you’re off exploring. Or, combine your passion for pets and travel to find your next pet sitting adventure and exchange nothing more than TLC for pets and a place to stay. Whether it’s dog sitting, cat sitting, (or something else altogether), we’ve got it covered.

TrustedHousesitters is a global community of pet lovers on a mission to deliver pet care based on trust, not money. We’ve connected thousands of pet parents with verified and reviewed cat and dog sitters, all through their mutual love of the furry kingdom.

Why do members love TrustedHousesitters?

Pet sitting means happy fur babies, relaxed pet parents and travel-happy pet sitters. With pets kept in the place they’re happiest (home, of course!), pet parents can travel with peace of mind knowing they’re cared for by a true animal lover, surrounded by all the sites and smells they know and love.

And with their joint passion for pets and travel, house and pet sitting allows our sitters to enjoy unlimited worldwide house sits, getting a warm, fuzzy (and furry) welcome wherever they go. That’s why cat and dog sitting has never been better for pet sitters - our members explore far-flung pockets of the world, staying in unique homes and with a new (and mostly wet-nosed) buddy by their side every step of the way.

"Finding TrustedHousesitters has been life-changing! I feel like a weight has been lifted. I just wish I'd known about it sooner!" — Tina, TrustedHousesitters member.

Ugh this app could be so convenient if they cared to make it good. The messages are completely unreliable. Sometimes it tells you, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes the message goes through, sometimes it doesn't. From sitters, I've been told that my welcome guide just doesn't even show up or it's loading incorrectly. Most recently, it completely deleted my about me section and I have to redo this entirely on my computer. I saved it twice and both times it went back to "hi."

I have used this service for 5 years and the app has NEVER been good. Messages don't even show up on the phone app. Time zone is never right on message timestamps. You sometimes can't see if a sitter is in a duo or single. You can't mark multiple messages as read. The entire UX of sits, messages, and profiles is bulky and annoying. Given the fees they charge, there is no excuse for the app to continue to be so unusable. If they had a decent competitor I would immediately switch.

Im having a horrible time trying to login. yes I've tried everything. there needs to be a number to call. I have housesits coming up and I can't see them. Have had some response in email. But it has not been fixed. All my other apps are fine. I've communicated through email with trusted housesitters. Telling them everything I have tried. Spent hours trying to get this resolved. It's terrible. I just dont understand what is going on. I been with them for over 5 years. Very disappointed .
