Absolutely fantastic experience throughout. Constant support from HouseSit Match and excellent care and thoughtfulness from Cathy and Jimmy who looked after our three dogs and home for three weeks. Couldn't have asked for nicer people. Thank you, Helga and Joe

Long term pet sit...San Miguel, Spain.

It is not the first time I have used House sit match and it certainly will not be the last! Lamia is always available if needed and has lots of useful tips should you need them. I will always use them in the future.

HouseSit Match offers a personalised service which is why they get 5 stars from me. As a relatively new housesitter looking to house sit for strangers, I'm reassured by their verification process for sitters. In my book, it's the number one reason for going through a provider such as this. The software interface isn't entirely intuitive and the number of house sits and locations are limited but it's easy to see the locations before signing up and making the spend.

A Family Housesit in Alicante

We have just come back from a super family housesit in Alicante/Spain.

From start to finish Housesit Match were a pleasure to liaise with, Lamia has a wealth of knowledge and as first time house-sitters gave us lots of very useful advice, hints and tips.

The property we stayed in more than met our expectations and the children were fully entertained with a swimming pool complete with inflatables, board games, fab outside area and a pool table under the veranda.

The home owners left really good instructions on their departure so we were fully confident with how to look after the pets (X2 dogs and X2 cats) and how we needed to maintain the pool.

The location of our housesit was in a great position as lots of beaches to choose from along with a vast range of supermarkets where we shopped for our nightly family barbi's.

Our children loved the pets and enjoyed the jobs that these entailed, feeding, loving and making sure there was ice in the dog’s water etc.

All in all a great break, we would definitely use Housesit Match again due to the personal service that was provided and the range of properties that we could choose from.

A five star service!

HouseSit Match have taken so much stress away from organising our trips away and it is so good to know our home and pets are being looked after so well when we are away and that all is well when we get home. Thank you HouseSit Match and thank you to all the wonderful house sitters who have looked after our home and pets since we joined.

Terry - so sorry you experienced slow site speeds. We did have hosting issues for a few weeks earlier this Spring and Summer. However, we have now changed our website hosts and are finding speeds have improved. I'll be in touch very soon to ask you for some detailed feedback. We are always trying to improve navigation on the site. Thanks again for taking time to feedback. With thanks. Lamia Walker

Personal contact next to a good website

Lamia and Wendy always respond very quickly on emails and did their utmost to make a good match. They do this in a professional and personal manner. It's great to be in direct contact with them, I didn't experience that with other housesittingorganizations. I really recommend HouseSitMatch.

Lamia has been excellent and I cannot thank her enough!

Having been let down at the last minute by a potential long term house sitter Lamia persevered and helped me find a new long term house sitter. Lamia is extremely professional and also carried out Police and Background checks and obtained two references all as part of the excellent service!

I have used other companies and HouseSit Match is the best. Lamia plays an active part and we have had several phone calls, even though I am in the USA and she in the UK. Because of this, the next time I need a sitter it will feel like asking a friend. However, that said, this is a professional, efficient company. Things are dealt with promptly, and it has the interests of both the owners and sitters at its core. HouseSit Match is outstanding.

Lamia and the team have quite literally been lifesavers. When my usual house/dogsitter had to cancel long-standing arrangements at short notice HouseSit Match stepped in and saved the day. I can get on with my busy life in the knowledge and comfort of knowing all is safe and looked after in my absence. I can't thank or praise them highly enough. Just brilliant. How I managed without them I will never know! Helen
