Looking for loving, reliable pet care over the school holidays? Or, perhaps you’re searching for a unique family-friendly getaway with all the comforts of home. If you and your family love pets and love to travel, TrustedHousesitters could be the perfect school holiday solution for you!
TrustedHousesitters is a global, pet-loving community connecting pet parents with loving, verified pet sitters looking for an authentic travel experience. Sitters (including families) can enjoy a stay in the owner’s home in exchange for providing loving, in-home pet care while the owner is away.
Pet parents get peace of mind while on holiday, pet-loving families can enjoy a unique travel experience, and pets get to stay happy and loved in their own routine, and in their own home. It’s a win-win-win!

How does TrustedHousesitters work?
TrustedHousesitters members pay an annual fee which unlocks access to unlimited worldwide sits or unlimited in-home pet care from verified sitters. A membership covers the whole family, all your pets, and all your trips away – that means no additional costs for extra paws or people!
If you’re looking to join as a pet parent, simply create a listing with some info about your home and pets, add the dates you’ll be away, and wait for applications from verified sitters to roll in. No stressful kennels, no trips to the cattery – just loving pet care and peace of mind that your pet is safe and happy at home.
If you’re a pet-loving family looking for a new type of adventure, then a sitter membership is what you’re looking for. Browse through thousands of sits in over 140 different countries worldwide – all real homes, with real pets looking for loving in-home care while their pet parents are away. Connect with the pet parents beforehand, find out if their pets and home are kid-friendly, and any potential house rules for everyone to follow. You don’t need to pay any extra accommodation or cleaning fees – just your travel to and from the sit.

What makes TrustedHousesitters so family-friendly?
If you’re a family who loves to travel, there are endless adventures available. For families who like to hike and ski, find a cosy three-bed chalet in the Alps with a Border Collie companion. For those looking to just sit back and relax, find a family-sized villa on the Mediterranean with three cute cats for company. Or, if you’re thinking further afield, seek out a city break in New York with an easy-going chinchilla!
The school holidays can be hectic – but finding a unique, family-friendly adventure has never been easier. Not only is it a more authentic way to travel, but it also gives children the chance to interact with pets and learn how to responsibly care for them. It’s an educational, fulfilling adventure the kids will love, and a chance to make unique travel memories you won’t find anywhere else!
