Nestwell

House sitting you can trust

Go away. Home stays loved.

Nestwell matches people heading abroad with background-checked sitters who'll look after the house and the pets. Sitters get a place to stay and extra money.

How it works

  1. 01

    Post or browse

    Hosts post their dates, home and pets. Sitters browse open sits once verified.

  2. 02

    Get matched

    Verified sitters message hosts. You chat, compare, and choose who feels right.

  3. 03

    Stay and care

    Your sitter moves in, looks after the home and pets, and you enjoy your trip.

Four checks. No exceptions.

A sitter can't see a single listing until all four are done.

  1. 01

    ID and selfie match

    No anonymous accounts. Ever.

  2. 02

    Criminal background check

    Run on every sitter before they can message anyone.

  3. 03

    References we call

    Two people who've trusted them with a home or a pet.

  4. 04

    Reviewed by a person

    A human approves every profile, not just software.

Pets are family. Sitters who get that.

Tell sitters about your pets, their routines and any special needs. Only sitters comfortable with that care can apply.

  • Dogs

    Walks, feeding schedules and the quirks that keep them calm.

  • Cats and small pets

    Daily care, litter, medication and plenty of company.

  • Routines written down

    Share a care sheet in your listing so your sitter knows exactly what to do.
