House and Pet Sitters House & Pet Sitting - House and Pet Sitters Perth

Trustworthy, experienced house and pet sitting service suited to you & your pets individual, unique needs.

House and Pet Sitters Perth offer a unique, caring and personalised service.

A recent text message between a client and one of our sitters said, “…animals are naturally drawn to you. That’s so cool and a unique trait.” AC (Bicton).

When we say we’re animal lovers, we mean it. So whether you’re taking that holiday-of-a-lifetime or a round the world cruise, work on a fly-in-fly-out roster or planning a romantic getaway, have peace of mind knowing your pets and home are in the very best of hands. And we do mean the best.

At HAPS, we know that every pet has its own individual and/or sensitive needs. We also understand that each home owner has their own way of going things. That’s why we have a team of sitters who are experienced enough to follow your instructions, and smart enough to know that sometimes intuition, experience & circumstance call for a bit of initiative.

House and Pet Sitters Perth offers a service tailor made to solve all of your pet and home-care problems and give you peace of mind before, during & after your absence.

PET CARE

When it comes to pets, there’s very little our sitters won’t do. We don’t count walking, playing, snuggling & adoring as a chore. In fact, all aspects of caring for animals comes naturally to our sitters, as we’re all pet lovers.

We can feed, walk, play, water & clean your pets, the normal things, however, HAPS sitters are also experienced in caring for pets who are:

rescued
injured
ill
senior
post op
requiring medication (such as diabetes etc)
suffering from anxiety (separation & other), depression etc

Sometimes it’s too much to ask family and friends to do all this for you, but House and Pet Sitters have the experienced, qualified, skilled & eager team to do it all for you. And they will love and care for your pets as if they were their own.

All of our Sitters know how precious your pets are because they are, or have been, pet owners too. And they will be there every day to provide love, companionship and respect for your little treasures.

HOME CARE

The team at House and Pet Sitters Perth will also provide you with the peace of mind in knowing that your home will be safe and secure while you are away. They will look after your garden and your swimming pool and do all the other little things that are required in the running of a home.

And if your mind keeps drifting back to how things might be faring at home, don’t worry, our sitters know how important it is to keep in touch and update you – via texts, emails, pictures, even videos – while you are on your travels.

All of our Sitters have police clearances, are fully insured, mature and trustworthy. They range in age from 23 to 70. Some work full-time, or part-time, and some are retired. This means we can match your specific needs to the Sitter that would be most appropriate.

Please note our prices are based on several factors, including length of sit and number and types of pets.

Shirley was absolutely brilliant. She was everything we could have wanted and more. The dogs and our house were so well cared for.
Ted had a bad leg and needed visits to the vet weekly to get bandage changed; the kettle finally gave up and the front door lock seized. Shirley took all this in her stride, kept us informed and when we got home our house was so clean and a treat in the fridge for us.
She really is amazing and we were so happy with everything.
If we are using a 5-star rating she should get 10 and we will certainly use your services again and hope to be fortunate enough to get Shirley.
Also, we will refer our friends to you, it was all so well researched, organized and conducted with professionalism and love.
Thank you.
Kind regards,

Dear Jenny,
Myself and my partner Laura send this email with great pleasure. Your sitter Sarah is certainly one in a million! We returned today from our 3 week trip to the UK where we got married to a very happy dog, an impeccably tidy house and lovely presents.
Sarah regularly sent entertaining and loving emails regularly, regarding our dog Elliott’s well-being and adventures and left us completely at ease whilst away. We returned today and the house was spotless, mail arranged, food in the fridge, Elliott pleased to see us and a lovely framed picture of Elliott dressed up as if he had attended our wedding day. It was truly a personal touch.
We would recommend her highly and on our first dog walk back, we came to find that our friends that she met on her usual walk hold her in high regard too and had nothing but pleasant things to say about her.
She has done your service proud and we will definitely be using you again in the future.
Many Thanks,
Marcus and Laura

We would highly recommend this service and have done to many family and friends.

Our pets got really well looked after by a great couple and we were updated regularly, which was reassuring for us while being on holiday.

Hi Serena (house and pet sitter), Just a quick note to thank you so much for looking after Lulu, Tinka, Lily, Bro and Ali while we were away. You did a fantastic job with them all and I’m so pleased we had you. With poor Lulu passing, an unpleasant time for you and us, you handled it with dignity and love. Lily and Tinka looked beautiful after their makeover. Also, thank you so much for the flowers and chocolates. We had not noticed them until you had left. It was our first time using House and Pet Sitters and were understandably nervous. Now, we would always use this service in the future with complete confidence. Thank you once again

House was immaculate, dogs had been exercised and medication to the old dog had been exactly as if we had done it ourselves, they even visited the vet and obtained more. Absolutely great.

I wanted to send you a quick email as I have recently returned from my trip. I had Sarah look after my baby girl Jenna and I wanted to let you know how fantastic she was. The house was clean and well looked after and she was so thoughtful as to leave me a thank you card, chocolate, milk in the fridge and even made me some origami. Jenna of course was very happy to see me, but I can tell she was comfortable with Sarah and wasn’t stressed. I will be recommending your company from now on to all the clients who ask about pet sitting at the vet clinic I work at. I am now comfortable to say there really is a company out there you can trust with your pets and your house while enjoying a holiday. Thanks for everything.

Meet some of our team

Denize & Felipe - Sitters

We both had lovely dogs and cats back home, so we really miss our pets. We feel they are part of our families and also how great is the environment when they are around?
We have been house and pet sitting in WA since October 2015. We really love animals. It is priceless to know we have this opportunity with House and Pet Sitters to take care of them around Western Australia. As well as getting to know different areas around Perth. We have been meeting great people and families around, so it has been such a great experience for us!
Talita & Ruda - Sitters

We are passionate about animals and enjoy the opportunity to live in different houses and neighbourhoods. We started house and pet sitting in June 2017.

House and pet sitting is perfect for us especially being able to live with, love and care for the animals – it helps us not miss our puppy, who could not come with us from Brazil.

We are very responsible and friendly and we have the greatest love and care for all the animals we take care of!
Jesse & Sally - Sitters

We both love animals! They’ve been a big part of both of our lives, so we really enjoy meeting new furry friends and spending time with them. We also enjoy being able to experience the city from different perspectives. We have been house sitting casually for the past two years but have been with ‘House and Pet Sitters’ since May 2017.

Between us, we have ample experience in caretaking properties, houses, and pets. We pride ourselves on our reliability and cleanliness. We’re both very versatile and adaptable, so easily adjust to personalities, needs of animals and requests of owners.

It is our mission to make your pet and property feel as loved and secure as possible in your absence, to maximise your peace of mind and enjoyment whilst away.
Ana - Sitter

Hello, I’m Ana, I’ve been living in Australia as student since March 2016. I have always had pets. When I was a little child my parents gave me a cat and I had a dog that I looked after too, I loved it! I’ve had many experiences with pets all my life, living with me and my family. Since I came to Australia I haven’t had a pet and I have missed this contact. That’s why I’m a House and Pet Sitters team member, I really appreciate being able to look after pets and help people. My first house and pet sitter experience in Australia was January 2017 and it was lovely. Being a sitter has taught me how important it is to be kind and patient with pets. When they don’t know you it is fundamental to follow all their routines. I’m gentle with animals and respect them and in return the families trust me to stay at the houses with their precious pets.
Aline - Sitter

Hello, I’m Aline, I grew up with cats and dogs and really love them. I enjoy taking care of pets and giving them lots of cuddles and love.

I started with House and Pet Sitters in April 2017 and believe the role is a great fit for me. The way I relate to looking after someone’s precious pet is that it is my job to make sure they are happy. So, we have fun all the time by going out for walks or just relaxing under a tree. Simple things make me feel extremely happy.
Marilia - Sitter

Hi, I’m Marilia, I started house and pet sitting about March 2017 because I miss my animals from my parent’s farm, back in Brazil.

I love taking care of pets, I always learn a lot from their personality because they are all so different. Like us as human beings, all similar but inside, very different. That’s what makes me passionate about pet sitting. The love I have found in this relationship between animals and us is indescribably beautiful.
Pat & Don - Sitters

We first housesat for a friend of ours who went overseas and liked it so much we approached Jenny at House and Pet Sitters about being regular sitters. That was December 2014 and the rest is history.

Being HPS sitter is great for a number of reasons, firstly, Jenny is ‘mint’ and the clients are fabulous people. Add the pets and bingo, you have a winner. We find that if you treat the people, their pets and house as your own, you can’t go very far wrong.

The photo is Pat with Obama and Rocky, these full brothers have just turned seven – where’s Don you ask, well he took the photo claiming a photo of him would send everything blank – lol.
Adrian - Sitter

I’m a self-employed Repetiteur (how many people know what that is?) I have been a HPS sitter since January 2015.

I enjoy being of service to people; the companionship of their pets and the interactions with other dog owners on walks. The variety of living in different places and exploring different areas also appeals to me.
Sarah - Sitter

I really like animals so when the opportunity came along to be able to have (however temporarily) a pet, I jumped at the chance.

I have been a HPS sitter since April 2015. I enjoy the satisfaction of knowing pets are the primary focus of care and attention, and thus happier. It’s wonderful to have someone who’s always happy to see you.

Plus, I get to meet new people/animals and being a sitter expands my knowledge of other areas of Perth.
Helen - Sitter

I’m a huge animal lover who believes our pets are an integral part of our family. I love getting to meet and care for so many wonderful animals in my role at House and Pet Sitters and my primary concern is always to make sure your pet is happy, healthy and loved so that you can confidently enjoy your time away from home.

I know how difficult it can be to leave a beloved pet, especially if they have special needs, and I always ensure, if requested, you will get regular updates and contact so you can rest assured they’re in good hands.

My goal is that you will get to return home after a well deserved holiday, to happy, healthy pets and a clean, immaculately maintained home so all you need to do is catch up on cuddles with your animals.

Helen
