What clients expect and what professionals need to know
House sitting services have a trusted sitter stay in or regularly visit a home during the owner's absence to collect mail, water plants, maintain the appearance of occupancy as a security deterrent, manage contractor visits, and care for pets. Overnight house sitting is preferred over check-in visits for homes with pets or in areas with security concerns. Sitters maintain the home to the owner's specific instructions and provide regular photo or text updates.

Common questions from clients looking for House Sitting services
House sitting typically involves staying overnight in the home; home watch is periodic inspection visits (2–3x weekly) without overnight presence — suited for vacant seasonal homes.
A smart lock code that can be reset after each sitter is more secure than a physical key; leave clear emergency contacts and a list of instructions for appliances, alarms, and utility shutoffs.
Use platform background checks (TrustedHousesitters, Rover), request references from previous clients, and meet the sitter in person before departure — treat it like hiring an employee for your home.
Emergency contacts, vet information for pets, appliance instructions, utility shutoff locations, HOA rules if applicable, a first-aid kit, and grocery budget for an extended stay.
Most policies cover house sitters as guests; however, hire a sitter who carries their own renters' or liability insurance for damage they cause — your insurer may seek reimbursement for claims.
