House sitter testimonials
...without you I would never have made it all the way from Down Under to the unmissable wonders of Europe!
MindMyHouse is by far the most user-friendly house-sitting site on the net today. It is also one of the least expensive, and offers the best resources. Even BEFORE I secured a long-term housesit in beautiful Spain through MindMyHouse, I was recommending the site to friends. Keep up the good work, without you I would never have made it all the way from Down Under the unmissable wonders of Europe, not to mention meeting the owner of the home I'm now sitting, who I hope will be a life-long friend. Worth ten times the current fee (but you didn't hear it from me!)

Home owner testimonials
MindMyHouse is simply a wonderful community for partnering needs with a means to fill those needs. To me, it is also a reflection of the goodness of humanity.
Our friends look askance and think we are nuts ... "You are going to have strangers come and sit your home and your animals?" Well, yes! (unless YOU want to volunteer, that is.) The concept and the reality of MindMyHouse is simple and superb. Humans trusting other humans to care for their homes and animals. To me, engaging a house sitter from MindMyHouse is a reflection of my belief in the goodness of people. People simply want to see another part of the world, have a comfortable place to stay, and perhaps get a little love from the animals that live there.We have now engaged two house sitters through MindMyHouse and have had outstanding experiences! Both couples who came to care for our home and our animals were mature. responsible, care-taking sitters. We could not have been happier, in either case. Some day, when I retire, my husband and I hope to be on the other end of this arrangement as well -- house sitting perhaps YOUR home in a place we would love to visit. MindMyHouse is simply a wonderful community for partnering needs with a means to fill those needs. To me, it is also a reflection of the goodness of humanity.
