Home & Pet Sitting - Your Home is NOT Alone!

Do you and your family need to leave your residence, but prefer not to leave your home unattended? Let a house sitting service provide you with the peace of mind to relax. Hiring a house sitter is perfect it you have pets. The high cost of boarding and the undue stress it puts on your pet can be eliminated by using a house sitter while you are away.

Selling? The right professional home sitting and care takers can provide your property the warm ambiance potential buyers find appealing. Your asset will have the correct lighting and mood, improving that "first impression."

A watchful eye is the most valuable home security system. Your home will never look empty. Enjoy the benefits of having a watchful eye over your landscaping and maintenance contractors. Mail and deliveries can be received and forwarded. Utility and basic bill paying tasks can be counted on. Meet and greet real estate staff. Maintain the ability to have contact and control with your home base.

Estates, single family homes, condominiums, and townhomes are all candidates for house sitting. Your immediate property should not be under construction. If your property is for sale, the right house sitter should be happy to act as a liaison between your residence, and the visiting brokers and clients. Your care taker can help prepare your home with the correct ambient lighting, atmosphere, and mood. They can even have fresh coffee waiting! During open-houses, your home sitter should be happy to spend the day away from your showcase. House sitter are available to schedules and care taking opportunities as short as one month to over a year.

During the home sitters stay at your home they will be happy to provide basic services such as mail receiving and forwarding, utility bill payments, keeping a watchful eye on landscapers, pool or maintenance contractors, cleaning and upkeep, and care-taking your cat, small dog, or visiting with your horses. Situations with multiple pets and large dogs are perfect consideration for employing a home sitter, as the cost of boarding can be tremendous!

There are other opportunities that may not be suitable for a house sitting situation. Live in managers for apartments for example, may be better suited to an employment arrangement. If you have additional family members that will reside at the property while you are away the house sitter should be happy to visit and interact, share meals and conversation, and provide company. However, do not place the responsibility of caring for a person that can not care for themselves on your house sitter.
