Jesse V. says, "If there was ever a time when I was more vulnerable it was the other day when I found Brittany Henry here on Thumbtack. As a person who is inclined to naturally trust another person at their word, living in the city of New York has done a lot to destroy that quality. However, laying in a hospital bed having my only fur baby/best friend at home starving for food with me not there left me no choice but to trust someone. And let me confirm for you my faith and trust was properly placed in Brittany. In a digital world ruled by apps, so often are we left to see words on a page and hope they define the actual human being during the job. In this example, I was surprised to have received a phone call right after placing the message. After having a very good discussion on the phone after which Ms Henry came to my hospital room to retrieve my key fob and then go to my apartment. It was such a relief and a breath of fresh air to have communication and video texts with each visit. She Confirmed for me the start and end times and gaining permission to do well identified secondary additional tasks. Rest assured, your trust will be rewarded if placed in Brittany Henry. When it comes to a sense of ethics and high moral standards, she stands above so many offering the same set of skills for hire. I would use her as my own personal assistant if I had the volume, I will continue to use her as a right hand as situations present themselves in my life. I cannot thank her enough for coming that day to my hospital room and relieving the stress on my mind of my starving buddy alone at home. She was empathy defined that day. So, if you make a choice to hire her; relax and let go because she’s got it handled."See more

FAQs

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

A house sitter watches your house while you are away for work or vacation, or if you have to be away for an extended period. House sitters can also provide pet-sitting services, staying in your home and caring for your pet while you are away. The house sitter can say overnight in your home while you’re gone, or stop by once a day to ensure everything is in order if your pet doesn’t need overnight supervision. Reptiles and most cats are just fine with daily visits and feeding.

House sitting provides major advantages to the homeowner. A regular presence in your house deters break-ins and theft. Home safety issues such as water leaks get noticed and dealt with right away, so you don’t come home to big problems. A house sitter can bring in your mail daily, care for your houseplants, and provide home safety and peace of mind.

House sitting can help keep your home safe and well cared for so you can be worry-free while you’re away for work or play. There are several steps you can take to make sure you hire a trustworthy house sitter and do your part to be a responsible host. One of the best ways to ensure a safe home is to hire a professional house sitter. Here are some key points to look for when hiring a house sitter:

  • Reviews and referrals: When searching for a house sitter, always read reviews. Previous experiences will indicate how the house sitter will care for your home while you’re away.
  • Contract: Sign a clearly written contract outlining services to be provided (e.g., mail in each day by 5 p.m.), the daily rate you are paying, and how long the services will be provided. You can also include any agreed-upon house rules in the written contract.
  • Your part: Leave important phone numbers (vet, emergency contact, etc.) and information on where to find emergency items like the circuit breaker and the fire extinguisher, and have a credit card on file with the veterinarian in case of emergencies if the house sitter is watching your pets.
