Only the Good Girls & Boys Get the Keys. Here’s How 🐾
Share
At Housepawty we keep a simple promise: your home and pets are looked after by sitters we’d trust with our own fur-kids. Every sitter still jumps through a few important hoops before they ever pocket your spare key.
Our “Good-Human” Checklist
| Step | What We Check | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Application & profile review | Sitters are profile-and-reference-checked and personally eye-balled before being allowed to create a profile on our platform. | Filters out the “sounds-good” crowd from genuine animal lovers. |
| Chat & vibe check | We hop on a quick call to talk routines, quirks, and expectations. | A five-minute chat reveals more than any form ever could. |
| Community feedback | New sitters build their profile and gather ratings from homeowners like you. | Real reviews keep standards high and slackers out. |
| Meet-and-Greet | You meet the sitter (IRL or video) before confirming. | You, and your pets, get the final say. If the tail doesn’t wag, we try again. |
No Strangers, No Parties, No Surprises
Our Terms of Service are crystal-clear: the person you meet is the person who stays. No plus-ones, no late-night shindigs, and certainly no “I asked my cousin to pop over” scenarios. Your sitter focuses on belly-rubs, plant-watering and parcel collection. Nothing else.
Why This Works
Peace-of-mind prep – A conversation and meet-and-greet give you confidence long before departure day.
Transparent feedback loop – Every booking ends with public ratings, so great sitters shine and everyone keeps their standards high.
Built-in flexibility – Didn’t feel the spark? We’ll match you with someone new, no awkward “I’ll think about it” required.
Ready to Press Play?

Because at Housepawty, only the good girls and boys get the keys - so you can head off knowing the real party is a snuggle-fest back home.
