MMH has been a remarkably helpful service for my wife and me as home owners. As a retired couple with two dogs, every trip begins not with airline tickets, but with an effort to secure a responsible,... See more

Users can hide bad reviews so it’s unsafe for users
I was an avid user and supporter of mymindhouse for 3 years. I had the fortune of finding nice sitters to look after my cats and my house. However, the last time I got a terrible cat sitter who abandoned my cats halfway through the sit and didn’t even bother to phone me to let me know, just sent me a WhatsApp message saying she had already left. Of course, I left her a bad review explaining what had happened to warn other home owners. But to my surprise, my review didn’t show on her profile. I contacted Support to ask why and they explained that users can decide whether they want to show or hide their reviews. Meaning ALL house and housesitter reviews are unsurprisingly positive- even though it’s a lie. I felt betrayed and unsafe. Users have the right to make informed decisions when so much is at stake. This is a stranger sleeping in your bed looking after your beloved animals. Of course you want to know if they ever got bad reviews and why. I have stopped using their service. I hope trustedhousesitters and others don’t allow users to censor honest reviews for everyone’s sake.
Excellent service - great VFM
My 18-month experience with MMH has been nothing short of exceptional. The service has more than paid for itself, and what's truly unique is the personal touch-it's not just another service but a team that responds to you as an individual, not with the usual bots or custom service scripts. I've had the pleasure of sitting for delightful and considerate homeowners, and this success was due to the rapport we established from the beginning, discussing each party's needs and expectations explicitly. Thank you, MMH
Mindmyhouse a great service alround
I have used Mindmyhouse to find house sitters for 10 years now in all this time I have connected with wonderful people some of whom have become friends. I have never had a problem with any of the sitters and they have all looked after my home and animals very well. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone, hosts and sitters alike.
I have been using Mind My House since 2016
I have been using Mind My House since 2016 to have house sitters coming to take care of my pets and my home. I have actually made some wonderful friends through this site, after they have taken care of our place. I would recommend this site to anyone who is looking for a credible and responsible person or couple to look after your house. I have not had any problems from any of my house sitters. They often go above and beyond my expectations!
Never let me down once!
Being using MindMyHouse, for at least 6 years, and they have never let us down. Also the sitters in every case, worked well for us and the dogs. Keep up the good work MindMyHouse.
Affordable, Easy, and Reliable!
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.
A ‘Never Fail’ Service
We have been home owning members for 11 years and haven’t had a bad experience. Our home and animals have been well cared for and we have met some lovely people from around the World. The website is easy to use and attracts serious- minded people as house sitters.
Just be sure to check out the folks you are considering. We always have several internet meetings with potential sitters so that we can all raise and resolve things well in advance. We also stay in touch during the time we’re away from home.
Thanks to MMH for 11 years - so far! - of excellent service.
Many adorable and trusty cat sitters in here!
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 have nothing but praise for MindMyHouse.
I have been using MMH since 2012 to find sitters for my home. The worst experience was a retired train driver and his wife. At the time we had four dogs. We stipulated that the dogs should be walked at nine am. Our maid reported that the couple didn’t surface until midday. They left our cooking utensils stained by turmeric. They asked for a review but I chose to ignore their request.
That was the worst experience.
When we lived in Madeira, as it was a very popular tourist destination, we would often get twenty replies in twenty-four hours from all over the world. My wife and i would rate them from one to ten and then discard those we felt were six or less. Young people who had looked after granny’s moggy for a couple of weeks were never going to be suitable. Middle-aged were our choice.
Some we still hear from years later.
We found little point in contacting sitters. Invariably they were not available.
Nothing was ever damaged nor stolen.
We introduced them to our neighbours, over a meal when time permitted. We booked them to arrive a couple of days before we left and arrived back home at least twenty-four hours before the sitters were due to leave. We asked for updates with photos whilst we were away.
Video WhatsApp or similar was always a must when interviewing..
I have nothing but praise for MindMyHouse.
MInd My House rocks!
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.)
An incredible service we can't do without
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
Treat it like a flea market,
We have been generally thrilled with Mindmyhouse.com.
Has every sitter been perfect? No. But that is NOT Mindmyhouse's responsibility. They are like a flea market. They attempt to match people who can fulfill each other's wants and needs. YOU need to put on your big boy/girl pants on, act like an adult, and use common sense in making your decision. There are other sites that "vet" the participants, but they charge and there are no guarantees.
We have used them about 9 times. One was unacceptable, but not the end of the world. Two were okay and six were amazing with our house looking better than when we left ("You waxed my car?" lol).
Mindmyhouse.com fabulous service
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..
Brilliant service
I have been using this company to find a house sitter since my beloved pussy cats were kittens. They are now nearly 15.
I have had fabulous people from all over the world taking care of them all thanks to this Web site. Many of these people have returned and become life long friends . I would not hesitate to recommend this company.
Excellent platform to find a housesitter. have used MMH for 9 years and had…
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.
Mindmyhouse is great! "does what it says on the tin" but do your own due diligence!
We have used Mindmy house for about 10 years if not more! It is an easy to use site to find sitters, and that is what it is there for! They cannot vet the sitters that is our job to check references etc. We have had both great and not so great sitters through Mindmyhouse just like people through our lives, good and bad! I have and would still recommend Mindmyhouse for both homeowners and sitters, just do your own due diligence before agreeing a sit with anyone! Our elderly cats have always been well cared for and that's what it is all about, isn't it!
Excellent service
I've been using mindmyhouse for years and have always had a great experience. Their system of testimonials and verification works extremely well to make sure I get the best person for my cat care. I've never been disappointed.
Highly recommend Mindmyhouse
I’ve been with Mindmyhouse since 2017 and have experienced many wonderful house sits around the world. Highly recommend this platform if you want to house/pet sit or if you want to find a sitter while you’re away.
LOVE MIND MY HOUSE...
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.
Not the best interface on this site but…
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.
