We have used MMH for many years with sitters from the Shetlands to Canada an many others.
Always easy to find sitters for our house and dogs. nice reliable people all of them who fitted in well
I've been using MindMyHouse since 2016
I've been using MindMyHouse since 2016, have organized 9 sitting jobs with this platform. It's worked out great every time. I like that I can get in touch with all the applicants that seem like a good fit, talk to them on WhatsApp and then decide who will come take care of our fur babies and house. All the sitters who have come have done a great job, we always found our house in good order once we got home. I don't know what they do at MindMyHouse, but they attract great sitting candidates! I recommend this service without any reservations.
Friendly and trustworthy house/pet sitting platform
We've been using MindMyHouse both as home owners and pet sitters for years. The customer service is always courteous, reactive and human, no AI in sight. We always had caring and friendly pet sitters from them, probably because of their careful vetting policy. It’s a very affordable and honest family business, and although we’ve used other house or pet sitting platforms in the past, MindMyHouse is certainly the best.
Great site for peace of mind for homeowners
Been using mindmyhouse.com for several years and have found the whole process of finding a sitter very easy. I would highly recommend to anyone either as a home owner or sitter, to give it a try.
MindMyHouse changed my life!
MindMyHouse changed my life!
I have always wanted to travel but I prefer slow travel. To get to know a city by wandering around, taking the time to experience the culture, taking pictures that later inspire me to draw and paint.
Coming ‘home’ and having the company of a pet, in my case a cat, is so much nicer than having to stay in a hotelroom.
I love to travel alone so this is the perfect way to be able to see the world.
I am so thankful that this exists and that Mind My House has facilitated all my fantastic petsit experiences.
I am very grateful and will continue to petsit using Mind My House. It’s fantastic ,as I always tell my friends.
I had someone to take care of my cat as well and it was perfect.
I also made friends and have taken care of their car several times now in London for example.
Thank you so much Mind My House!

Fake, Inaccurate, Sitter Profiles
We hired sitters here in the USA through this New Zealand-based service. The sitters were horrible, yet all their reviews were glowing. Which puzzled us. We submitted our testimonial, calling out their horrible sit, and then discovered that this site is SO LAME that the house sitter must approve the testimonial before it's published! Can you believe this? Do you think that a house sitter who gets a bad review (testimonial) is ever going to approve it? No. Of course not! This is a DANGEROUS site for homeowners, and I would avoid it at all costs!
Los que cuidan a los cuidadores 💗
Más de 8 años de experiencia con esta web y estoy encantada.
Detrás de todo este sistema de dueños y cuidadores de casas y mascotas, hay 2 personas maravillosas que te cuidan, escuchan y ayudan en cualquier cosa que necesites.
Nada que ver con otras plataformas mucho más frías, impersonales y con una obvia IA controlando las cosas.
Mindmyhouse lo tiene todo, es la más barata, con la que consigues rápidamente una experiencia de house-sitting y normalmente son muy positivas y enriquecedoras.
Gracias Alan & Susan por cuidar de vuestros cuidadores 💐🙏🏼🤗✨
Un abrazo!

Over 8 years of experience with this website and I'm delighted.
Behind this whole system of homeowners and pet sitters are two wonderful people who look after you, listen to you, and help with anything you need.
It's nothing like other platforms that are much colder, more impersonal, and obviously controlled by AI. Mindmyhouse has it all: it's the most affordable, you quickly get a house-sitting experience, and they're usually very positive and enriching.
Thank you, Alan & Susan, for taking such good care of your sitters 💐🙏🏼🤗✨
Hugs!

Mind My House is one of the two…
Mind My House is one of the two platforms I’ve used since 2022 to find house/pet sitting assignments. I’ve found one assignment that turned into multiple repeat sits over the past 4 years which totaled a year spent caring for this family’s home and pets. And I made great lifelong friends in the process! I highly recommend signing up either as a sitter, home and pet owner, or both!
Friendly, clear and logic center of exchange for people.
A center of interesting exchange listings from house owners and happy pet & house sitters all over the World! It is very clear and logic to search, observe, use and correspond with each-other. The founders keep on improving it and it even provides samples of contracts-of-exchange for its members. My favourite function is the world map view!
Plus it's friendly and human. I use it since more than 5 years and have succesfully travelled as a pet-sitter. My experience is fully positive.

Mind My House has helped me travel the world on a shoestring. I have literally saved thousands of dollars and been able to do things that I would have never been able to without this service!
16 years and counting as HouseSitters
16 years and counting as HouseSitters. There is no better way to see the world, learn the culture and history and meet wonderful people. Homeowners are an invaluable source of information that makes the house sit truly fascinating. We have completed many sits globally and no longer consider a boring "fun in the sun" routine.
Long live Mind My House!!

We have been with this company for over 5 years and can highly recommend to anyone wishing to sit houses - pets, or have their house, pets sat. We have really enjoyed all of our experiences with this platform and are more than happy to continue with our membership.
Travel and live as a local, being an animal lover
I've been house and pet sitting for 4 years now using the MindmyHouse site for European locations. The MMH site is easy to navigate and offers all sorts of sittings. Sitters and owners can contact eachother, come to an agreement and when all goes well everybody is happy. It's a matter of trust and based on being reliable from both sides. So MMH is not responsible for the outcome and that should not be expected from them. They bring people together and are very well organized. I have no complaints whatsoever and recommend them to anyone who likes to live temporarily at other places and take care of animals in a respectful way, as sincere caretakers. I consider myself being part of a free exchange movement and have created a network of interesting people I otherwise never would have met (and all those sweet animals I lived with). I only regret I can't do as many sittings as I would like to, being a single 60+ woman without own vehicle, while many owners live in remote places. But for couples who can move around freely options are numerous. What I appreciate a lot of MMH is that they are not a commercial business chasing profit but a family who throughout the years have created organically a transparant and friendly structure for human interaction so to speak at low costs. Anyone can join easily! Sonja from the Netherlands
Excellent well organised company and website
Well designed website, which is easy to navigate. We have been using Mind My House for a number of years to find a reliable trustworthy sitter for our cat and the house. All our housesitters have worked out well, and the information requested has been readily available from Mind My House. They also keep good records of sitters we have used.
regular housesitter
i'm using mindmyhouse.com for 5 years now, it was my first housesit portal and I still use it regularly. It's very good value, great opportunities and a terrific team. I clearly recommend it!
I've been using this site as a sitter…
I've been using this site as a sitter for several years now and given that the annual fee is significantly lower than some other well known sites, I think it offers real value for money. I've never had any problems with communication, payment or support and the site is functional and practical. I highly recommend it to both sitters and home owners alike.
My hobby has become my life
I have been working on this platform for 6 years and I am very satisfied with its work. Thanks to Mindmyhouse, I have traveled to many European countries, living there like a local, because I look after pets. I have met nice people, because we are similar in our views - they allow me to enter their house into their world, but I dare to do it. I can safely call myself a professional animal sitter, thanks to Mindmuhouse. I have really learned a new profession. True, as a volunteer, because I do not receive remuneration for looking after animals. But these adventures in a different living environment are worth it. And on top of that, I also receive free animal love therapy. I recommend this platform to everyone and I want it to work for a long time and successfully. Thank you to the Mindmy house team!!!

Fulltime housesit opportunities all over the world!
MindMyHouse has been our housesitting-site since 2021. We are pensioners and decided to housesit fulltime. We don’t even have our own house anymore. We have over 20 reviews on their site. MindMyHouse also allows reviews from other housesitting websites that solidifies our portfolio. This made our own search for houses almost obsolete as houseowners invite us directly (through MindMyHouse). We often get repeat requests from MMH houseowners. We never worry we will be without a housesit.
This website has taken us to Costa Rica, Panama, Spain and the Netherlands. We don’t spend money on rent, electricity, Wi-Fi, so we save for our travels to stay amazing places in the World. Can’t get any better than this.
Trusted website for your home and pets!
I have been using this website for many years to take care of my house and my cat while away on holiday or for work reasons. The system is easy to use, the reviews system is excellent and the assistance given is great. I highly recommend trusting this site!
This company feels like a family…
This company feels like a family member. They are so friendly in their approach to everything and the site is very easy to work with. Even when I am not seeking a house sitter myself, I enjoy looking at the possibilities that are out there for house sitting. I have made many new friends through this site and have never had any problems. All of my housesitters have been wonderful.
