“Have been a Happy House Sitter for many years now & "Happy House Sitters" have been a wonderful platform/website to find suitable homes & pets to sit in Australia.”
“Overall happy with the Happy Housesitters experience. I would just like to see the dates of housesits included in the messages that I receive via email from potential house sittees, which would help me quickly ascertain if I am available and keep track of different potential sits without constantly referring to the website. Thanks!”
“Very easy to operate website. My only criticism is the site give plenty of time for house owner to choose Sitters which makes it harder to coordinate sittings”
“The website is very straightforward and easy to navigate. In my early days of joining l contacted customer service only once for support and it was given. Still very happy with this company.Regards Lyn”
“I have found Ruth & Happy House Sitters Team excellent any time I have needed to speak and have things clarified.
The website is really easy to navigate.
My only concern, not for me, but for people needing/reaching out for House Sitters, is the number of times people who have committed to a House Sit ‘cancel’.
I understand there is extenuating circumstances ‘ sometimes’, but I ‘believe’ it is related to persons booking many House Sits then cancelling when they get ‘back to back’ or longer sits etc.
As this is a ‘Life Style’ now for so many people.
As I hope, when I retire it will be for me.
I don’t know the answer re policing this.
Maybe reviews…I don’t know.
But I think it is something to perhaps think about navigating.
Kind regards,

“The website works well and I haven’t had any problems communicating through the links.
However this is my second year of membership and once again I have not found a sit for September. One homeowner had found another sitter. Another one did not reply at all to either of my 2 messages.
I also did not find anything suitable in my 2021 attempts. Disappointing. I have found great homeowners through another website so will likely not renew again.”
“Thank you for giving us the opportunity of having 2 wonderful sits with 4 dogs, 3 cats, 2 horses and some fish. I have also had sits from other sites too. What I find difficult to understand that people advertise there sits for free and twice now I have not been answered and or have been 'mucked around' by sitters and they are allowed to advertise for free. It does cost for a sit with fuel, time etc. Cheers Mary-Anne”
“The website is easy to use, and daily emails keep me up to date on what’s available.
Customer service has always been good. Prompt responses and willingness to handle any queries.
I enjoy using Happy House Sitters.”
“Happy House Sitters is a great site to use. Very easy to contact and reply to housesitting ads.
Had to change something on our profile and customer service response was very quick.”
“Hi I find your website a bit frustrating when searching for house sits as I’d like to flag them or save them to favourites or possibilities… the only way you can get them in your list us to reply. Often I lose one I might be interested in and can’t find it again..,”
“Your website is so clear and easy to use. And there are always PLENTY of new listings. The details you have in listings is just what a sitter needs to know. Great work!!”
