The Homesitters team extends heartfelt wishes for a very happy festive season and a prosperous New Year. We hope you have a relaxing and fun filled time celebrating with family, friends and pets!

It’s been another busy year for all our dedicated homesitters who have been diligently taking care of people’s homes and pets up and down the country when they head off on their holidays.

The annual Paw Report from charity, PDSA[i] showed that more than half of UK adults (53%) owned a pet in 2023, with 29% owning a dog, 24% a cat and 2% a rabbit. They also highlighted an increase in the proportion of ‘new’ pet owners!

At the same time more people are travelling again following the pandemic[ii]. This is all reflected in high demand for our services which we expect to continue in 2024.

As a nation of animal lovers increasingly people prefer to have their pets looked after in their own home rather than a kennel or cattery, or relying on friends and family. This is less stressful on both owner and pet, and means people don’t get let down at the last minute.

As a result we are recruiting for new homesitters to join our friendly team.

If you are looking for new opportunities and want a role that enables you to see more of the UK spend time with pets and earn a bit of extra money then we encourage you to take a read of the become a homesitter section of our web site. If the role appeals, fill in the application form and one of our team will be in touch in January.

We’d like to end this year by saying thank you to all our remarkable homesitters and loyal clients who have supported us throughout 2023 and we look forward to working with you all again soon.

Warmest holiday wishes from the entire team at Homesitters. Here’s to an exciting year ahead filled with new opportunities and fulfilling adventures!
