Frequently Asked Questions

Why would I use Allpet House Sitters

Allpets are a small boutique agency that matches the owner's situation with the sitter's.

Using Allpets ensures that you have a live-in sitter to care for your pets and home, giving you peace of mind whilst you are away knowing that your pets are being well cared for.

There are several reasons to use Allpets:

• The pets can stay in their own home and familiar surroundings.
• It is a lot cheaper than kennel costs and you don’t have to worry about taking them to the kennels on the day of your departure.
• Security – The Sitters will live in the house as you do; collecting the mail, newspapers etc.
• The garden and pool will be well maintained and your plants will be cared for in your absence during the hot weather.
• Ongoing 24hr supervision of sitters.
• Groceries can be put in your fridge for the day of your return (on request).

Does the house sitter stay every night?

The house sitter is contracted to do so.
 

Will we meet the house sitter?

You will meet the house sitter a couple of times. The first time is to ensure that you and the sitter feel comfortable with each other and so the pets bond with the sitter. The second time is for the sitter to learn the ‘runnings’ of the house and bond again with the pets.

What if the House Sitter is taken ill during the stay?

Allpets will find a replacement.
 

How can I be sure that the Sitter will look after my pets and property?

Allpets will do regular check ups and monthly inspections to ensure your property is well looked after.
 

Do I have to pay the House Sitter?

The house sitter has free rent for performing the requests of the house owner.
 

If my pet is ill, will the sitter take my pet to the vet?

You will leave the vet details in the manual provided by Allpets, the sitter will take the pet to the vet and you will pay the vet upon your return.
