Commercial Sitting Services

Homesitters offers live-in caretakers who are responsible for looking after vacant or sparsely furnished properties. These properties may fall into various categories, such as:

By having our HomeSitters on site, we ensure that the property remains secure, which helps protect its value and reduces insurance premiums and maintenance costs. Additionally, our HomeSitters take care of site management duties, ensuring that the property is well-presented and in good order for any potential viewers, visitors, contractors, or new owners/occupiers.

  • To maintain security, our registered caretakers never leave the property unoccupied for more than three consecutive hours during daylight or one hour after dark. 
  • Smoking is strictly prohibited within the property, and visitors are not allowed without prior authorization. 
  • Our caretakers are instructed to never grant access to anyone without the client’s permission or after consulting with our Head Office.
  • Whether you require a caretaker for a short period of time or an extended duration, we can accommodate your needs.

Housekeeping Services

Our housekeeping services cover a wide range of chores that can ease the pressure and help you keep your home the way you like it while you are away from home. Our trained HomeSitters do housekeeping services like to run errands, wash clothes, change beds, organise clothes, do some ironing for you or a bit of dusting and hovering. Whatever housekeeping service you need our HomeSitters team to do, they will do for it for you.

Our HomeSitters team are an amazing bunch of people! They are fully trained to clean and ensure that the house is well maintained. They will do any job you ask them to do and will do it with expertise. One of the most significant criteria we have when hiring anyone for our housekeeping team is that they firstly need to be very good at all the jobs you need them to do, and they also have to be extremely trustworthy. All of our cleaners and housekeepers are vetted and must take a test before they are taken in. We go the extra mile to get people who are outstanding at cleaning and are trustworthy because we know how important both of these things are to our customers.

Pet Care

If you own a pet, you may be hesitant to use boarding facilities like kennels or catteries. Veterinarians recommend keeping pets in familiar surroundings to maintain their happiness and health. Cats and dogs can become anxious when they see suitcases, associating them with separation and a trip to a boarding facility.

Dogs have a natural instinct to guard their territory when a pack member is away. Being separated from both their territory and pack can lead to separation anxiety, resulting in symptoms like loss of appetite, gnawing, kennel cough, and self-harming.

While domestic cats may seem independent, they are also territorial animals who are attached to their home environment. They can experience separation anxiety when left in unfamiliar places, leading to symptoms such as loss of appetite, spraying, scratching, and excessive meowing.

The best option for your pets when you’re away is to leave them at home with a homesitter who can follow their usual routine. Homesitters offers a live-in pet-sitting service nationwide, catering to a variety of animals including cats, dogs, birds, and farm animals. This service not only ensures the well-being of your pets but also simplifies your pre-holiday preparations. Whether you have dogs, cats, small animals, poultry, or ponies, you can make arrangements for all of them with just one call.
