What experienced sitters actually bring
There's a difference between someone who's done a few sits and someone who's made housesitting their lifestyle. Years of experience refine something: the preparation, the communication, the genuine presence, the problem-solving when things don't go to plan.
This is the craft of housesitting.
Reputable Sitters is a curated directory of housesitters who have dedicated years to this craft. Every sitter has been individually reviewed and profiled from 20+ reviews — not just counting stars, but understanding what hosts consistently value about them.

Your privacy, your choice
You don't need to list your property publicly anywhere. Find a sitter you like, reach out, and share details privately.
Or point them to your existing listing on another platform. However you prefer to work.

Use alongside other platforms
Many hosts find sitters here, then formalise bookings through TrustedHousesitters or Nomador for the insurance coverage. Others arrange everything privately.
We're not asking you to leave other platforms. We're giving you a better way to find experienced sitters — what you do from there is entirely up to you.
