We provide all the online tools for home owners and house sitters to find each other from around the globe (or around the corner).
Simply put, house sitting is the practice whereby a home owner, leaving their house for a period of time, entrusts it to one or more "house sitters", who by mutual agreement are entitled to live there rent-free in exchange for assuming responsibilities such as taking care of the homeowner's pets, performing general maintenance etc.
When two perfect strangers meet and arrange to take care of each other's house sitting requirements, it's a good idea that they both go into the situation equipped with a copy of our house sitting agreement. We cover all the bases with this plain-English, editable document.
MindMyHouse is something of a different creature to those other house sitting matching services you will find on the Internet. We're a small 'mom and pop' family business – our business ethos is about providing our members with an advertising free zone in which to find each other and meet up to do all that adventuring while house sitting worldwide. No sponsorship, or pictures of women laughing at salad on our site! We also believe in humans (no bots or AI).
Our glorious global online house sitting platform was officially born on 22 February 2005 – a whole 21 years ago now. Wow! And in that time, we have redesigned the site three times, so as to keep up with the times :)
Happy to have discovered this platform ( Dual)
A fantastic platform for pet owners and pet sitters alike! We first discovered MindMyHouse as cat owners and used the platform for many years to find sitters for our cats. They even provide ready-made agreements that you can use if you wish, which is a great extra for peace of mind. Four years ago, we also started using the platform as pet sitters ourselves, and since then, we’ve had the opportunity to look after animals all over the world! The membership fee is still incredibly affordable, especially considering the opportunities it offers. The platform has a particularly good selection of pet sits in Europe. Of course, this largely depends on where MindMyHouse is best known and where most homeowners are actively looking for pet sitters. If you're looking for opportunities in Australia, New Zealand, or the USA, you may find a wider selection on other platforms. If I could change one thing, it would be the messaging system. I’d love to see a proper conversation thread, similar to email or other messaging apps, instead of having each message appear individually in the inbox or sent folder. A dedicated app would also be a fantastic addition! That said, email alerts make it easy to stay up to date when new pet sits become available, and the option to leave testimonials (which are reviewed before being published) helps build trust within the community. Overall, I can wholeheartedly recommend MindMyHouse, both to pet owners looking for reliable sitters and to people who want to explore the world while caring for animals. If you’re just getting started with pet sitting, the low membership fee makes it an especially great place to begin. We’ve had wonderful experiences and are very happy to have discovered this platform!
I absolutely LOVE and depend on MindMyHouse ( Owner)
I absolutely LOVE and depend on MindMyHouse! Traveling can be stressful - knowing that I have a completely trustworthy and reliable housesitter is essential, and MindMyHouse delivers! The platform is easy to use, and I’ve had fantastic results with the kind and interesting sitters that are registered with the service! Highly recommended!!
Dear MindMyHousie’s, seasons greetings to you all. Susan and I also send you our best wishes for the new year of 2026. In this special seasonal edition of the MindMyHouse News, we are introducing a long awaited upgrade for house sitters and home owners: the Availability calendar for sitters and Date filtering for owners! We have also made a few other tweaks to the site: Sitters can now search assignments by more continents, and sitter alerts now include date searching. We also wanted to comment on the booking fees introduced by "you know who". Oh, and we have a new homepage design, and checkout the assignment annual heartbeat…
