At House and Home Sitters Ltd, we believe in offering more than just a service – we provide peace of mind for homeowners while they are away. Our business is built on trust, reliability, and a genuine passion for making sure homes and pets are cared for in the best possible way. With a comprehensive, tailored approach to house sitting, we ensure our clients can leave their homes knowing everything will be in perfect order upon their return.
What Sets Us Apart?
Unlike many house-sitting agencies, House and Home Sitters Ltd takes a highly personalized approach to every assignment. We are a small but dedicated team, which allows us to offer bespoke services based on each client’s individual needs. From watering indoor plants to offering premium pet care services – such as administering medication or ensuring exercise routines are maintained – our sitters go the extra mile to make sure all aspects of a home are attended to. This level of care and commitment is rare in the industry and sets us apart.
Additionally, we have a robust vetting process for all our sitters, ensuring that only the most trustworthy and experienced individuals are sent to care for your home. Our sitters come with an impeccable record of reliability and respect for our clients’ privacy and belongings. The rigorous background checks and clear communication with homeowners help build trust, which we see as a cornerstone of our service.
We also understand the significant risks homeowners face when leaving their homes unattended. For instance, most UK home insurance policies do not cover homes left unoccupied for over 14 to 30 days – something many homeowners overlook. With burglaries estimated at over 2.1 million a year, House and Home Sitters Ltd provides a vital service, reducing risks and keeping homes safe and secure.

Drawing from years of experience in law, they bring meticulous attention to detail and a deep understanding of the importance of security and trust. Their personal experiences with clients who faced hardships – from theft to power failures causing substantial food losses – inspired them to create a service that prevents such problems, giving homeowners the security they need.
