This website solved all of our issues as pet owners whenever we wanted to go on a trip. It's FREE, it's trustworthy, it's very well organized and simple to use, and it connects you with screened sitters with real reviews whom you can leave your pet and home with and go on holiday with peace of mind. Thank God for Mind My House! An incredible service
Been with MMH for 14 years and have taken multiple sits in Spain, Portugal, Greece and the UK. No complaints at all. Had some fabulous sits in wonderful places and met some tremendous people some of whom have become good friends. Not to mention all the lovely animals we have had the pleasure of taking care of. It's a great and CHEAP way to get yourself in contact with home/animal owners. Then the rest is up to you. Can't understand some of the comments on here. People obviously don't understand what is being offered by MMH or, in some cases, what house sitting actually is. Nobody is forcing anybody to take a sit if they don't want to. If the selection of sits is not what you like go pay £99+ on Trusted housesitters. We have recommended MMH to many people, both sitters and homeowners and will continue to do so. Thanks MMH.
I have used MindMyHouse now for a decade with great success. Because of it, I have been able to travel all over the U.S. and actually stay for extended periods of time and really get to know places. I hope to avail myself of international listings next year. The cost is more than reasonable and I really like that you can leave (and read) feedback about housesitting positions. (Taking care of pets is a bonus.)
Not the best interface on this site but it is good and free for homeowners. Have been using it for years and have found good sitters using MindMyHouse and one was our best sitter ever. Many sitters list on a number of sites. Homeowners need to use good judgement in selecting sitters and check out references, ID etc. Unreasonable to blame the housesitting site if the the sitter disappoints.
We have used mindmyhouse.com about five times. We will use them again. It has been a fabulous service for us as we have 4 dogs and a cat.The people who have looked after our animals and houses have been honest, reliable and friendly. The latest use of the website was in August. We will be doing it again. Many thanks..
I’ve been using MindMyHouse for several years now and have had nothing but fantastic experiences. The platform is user-friendly, way more affordable than others out there, and offers great technical support when requested. It is true that it doesn't have as many listings as some other sites, the upside is there’s also less competition for house sitters! Personally, I’ve never felt the need to use another platform because I always find plenty of great opportunities here.It took me a little while to land my first house sit, but once I got that first gig and a review, everything became much easier. Now, I’ve been consistently house sitting through MindMyHouse for years.
Since 2018 that I'm using MindMyHouse when I have to leave for a trip and I need some cat sitters and house sitters for my cats and flat in Florence. It has been my saving life solution because I only had very good experiences and some of my cat sitters came back several times as they missed my cats and my flat. I cannot recommend more this platform for all the people who needs someone to look after their pets and their homes!
I used a house-sitter from Mind My House while I went on a five-week trip to visit family. I listed and he contacted me; the dates worked out and we were able go meet up a couple times previous to me leaving. I have one cat and live in an easy to manage townhome. I left very concise instructions, chatted numerous times with said house sitter and felt that all would be well. I arrived home to two damaged bicycles (one was loaned to him, the other was ‘hands off), a ruined washer and dryer (he attempted to wash/dry a sisal/grass mat).,a plugged bathtub and my home was filthy. He did not wash or put out recyclable containers nor garbage and my garage stunk. My cat was okay but his food station was gross. Stupidly, I did not ask for a damage deposit. Never again.
Out of three confirmed sits, only one was legit. To say nothing of other scam listings. This is not a good track record. What's worst is that the site has informed me they let anyone post anything, for free. In other words, ANYONE can post or message members without the need to pay. On the other hand, members have to pay for access to the listings to message hosts. So what you get is a bunch of scammers running amok with no consequences, and the business being financially supported by the people getting scammed. This is a horrible business model. When you contact support, they are rather unabashed about saying they don't vet listings, and you should always have a backup option. This is what my money gets me!?? They do nothing to mediate, either. I had a sit go horribly wrong, with the host requiring me to break laws, and MindMyHouse only said, 'Well, we don't control this, and you should have made a backup plan.' What kind of business treats does this?? This is not a company to be trusted. I will not be renewing my membership with them, and will no longer be using the site to search for housesits - there are many better options for house/pet sitting platforms.
We have used MMH for 9 years and had somewonderful sitters...some who have returned. We always ask for references and use zoom to chat before deciding. Anything negative is due to to sitters applying who havnt read the specific criteria for our home and as we are in a popular tourist area think it will be a holiday.
