Good Value for Our Homeowner Clients

We Keep It Simple

Explore our transparent and straightforward rates for house-sitting, pet care, and additional services. Our aim is to provide good value and peace of mind for every homeowner

• £60 per day – includes sitter’s allowance, indoor plant watering, and house sitting.
• £70 per day for assignments of three days or less.

* For assignments of 30 days or more, a Reduced Daily Rate of £50 per day applies with No Travel Costs.

** If your sitter arrives before 10:00 on the start date or if you return after 15:00 on the end date, please add an extra day to cover travel time. This ensures sitters are not required to travel in the dark during winter. The additional basic daily charge applies only if the extended time exceeds one hour.

*** Repeat clients receive a 3% Loyalty Discount on the total bill for assignments completed before 31 December 2023.

For one-day assignments (such as for a gas inspection), we charge £70 plus travel costs. Please note: our rates are calculated per day, not per night.
