House sitting in 2026: clearer chats, better sits, happier pets

We’re doing a little tidy-up in our Facebook group this week to make it easier for house sitters and homeowners to actually find each other.

The plan is simple: one clean Monday Matchmaking thread where, if you are a sitter, please post your details, availability and experience – and homeowners can browse for a good match.

🌎Sitters: get in first and post your details in this week's thread here!

If you’re a homeowner with an upcoming sit, please go ahead and post it directly in the main feed now so the right people can see it.

​You can visit the group here.

And while we’re on the topic of better matches, this week’s free resource is all about the conversation that happens before a sit.

Because honestly, so many house sitting issues come down to one thing: unclear expectations.

• How often, and where, to update homeowners on their pet(s)?
• What does the pet’s routine really look like?
• Who handles emergencies?
• Are there areas of the home that are off limits?
• What happens if travel plans change?

These are all simple things – but they are much better discussed before the sit begins.

That’s why we’ve created a brand new free guide:

👉The Safe and Secure Pre-House-Sit Clarity Guide

It’s an ultimate conversation checklist for homeowners and house sitters, designed to help everyone feel clear, confident and prepared before a sit starts.

​Download the free illustrated e-guide here.

If you’re a sitter, use it before your next confirmed sit.

If you’re a homeowner, use it before handing over your keys.

A smoother sit usually starts with a better conversation.
