Traditionally, finding the best pet sitting at home while traveling has been difficult for pet-owners.<\/b><\/h3>

We\u2019ve all been there: Making wonderful plans for an extended trip through Mexico, Europe or another far away place, just to soberly realize that it would be extremely difficult to find the best pet sitting at home while traveling. <\/span><\/p>

But with Trusted Housesitters, you can ensure your pets are cared for right at home by top-rated sitters, allowing you to travel with peace of mind.<\/p>

While it is occasionally possible to find a responsible pet-companion, they might not always be available during our desired vacation period. And more professional boarding care for pets is often completely overpriced \u2013 coming close to the price of an all-inclusive stay for an adult.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Recent digital innovations have however enabled the creation of a smart solution to the issue: The platform Trusted Housesitters connects pet-parents with verified travelers willing to pet-sit their beloved animals in exchange for a place to stay.<\/span><\/p>

Andy Peck founded Trusted Housesitters in 2010 after house sitting in Spain, where he met the owner’s dog, Dave.
