"I think this might be a scam"

I think this might be a scam. I had signed up to them a few months ago and was receiving regular emails, then that stopped. When I tried to log into the site I was told my email address or password didn't match their records. When I tried to change my password it wouldn't let me. I have tried emailing them and contacting them via Instagram with no response. Money taken with nothing to show for it.

"Housesit Match has been an incredible"

Housesit Match has been an incredible blessing in my life! From the very start, Lamia personally handpicked me for several amazing housesits, recognizing my skills and professionalism. She thought I would be a great fit—and she was right! One of my first opportunities was a paid sit in Jamaica (just a short hop from Miami!) which is where I was on living at the time. Where I cared for two beautiful birds and a dog. That experience opened doors for me, and since then, I’ve had the privilege of house sitting all over the world through their platform.
Most recently, last week March 5-10 I completed a fantastic sit in Spain, and I loved every moment of it. Lamia and her team—Karen and all the staff—are simply outstanding. They are professional, responsive, and communicate clearly every step of the way. Lamia, in particular, is the ultimate professional—she follows up, returns calls, text on WhatsApp in minutes, checks on you during the sit to make sure everything is going well and if you need anything and she truly cares about matching the right people with the right opportunities.
If you’re looking for a trusted, well-run house sitting platform, HouseSit Match is fantastic. They’ve changed my life and given me unforgettable experiences worldwide. I can’t recommend them highly enough. Thanks Lamia.

"Unbelievably good service!"

Unbelievably good service! HouseSitMatch take the worry away from leaving your dog. Lamia and her team helped me through the whole process of finding the right sitter for my slightly nervous dog.

HouseSitMatch's professional, caring, approach and secure platform allowed me to have confidence in the people who applied to look after my dog. All sitters are checked and referenced before they can approach available 'sits', so I found it easy to select the person based on their likelihood of getting on with my pet and our home location.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Lamia and the HouseSitMatch platform if you want to feel safe and secure when choosing a stranger to look after your home and your beloved pet. The cost of registration gives you the peace of mind that you have a responsible and trustworthy sitter. Much better than trying to find a sitter via Facebook pages etc!!!

"Just Great!"

I signed up with HouseSit Match last year as my friend had been raving about the dog sitters they found her.
Well, what a find, great to go on holiday for two weeks knowing my dogs would be looked after by a wonderful couple. Lamia helped so much and we will be using them again. Many thanks.

"We joined HouseSitMatch last year."

We joined HouseSitMatch last year and were able to go away for all of August knowing that our house and garden were taken care of. We will certainly be rejoining this year.
The company are helpful and always available to answer any queries you may have.

"Saved me thousands"

Hello, just writing to say that HouseSitMatch over the last couple of years has saved me thousands in between rentals while I finished my Masters. Feel lucky to have enjoyed several fantastic housesits in and around London, meeting wonderful people and pets in the process. Would recommend. Even though I will be less active for now as I ease into a new rental, I am looking forward to seeing what the new website brings with interest. Cheers, Alex.

"Disappointing so far but still hopeful!"

UPDATE: Dear Lamia,
Thank you for your fast and understanding replying! It is very encouraging to know that you have already been working on the new site, and of course I'll hang on in there for it - can't wait to see! Do count me in for testing, I'd be more than happy to provide feedback and suggestions. :)
In the meantime, is there any way your web developer could please just fix those broken links? It would help to be able to view people's profiles at least, even if everything is not perfect. Should be pretty straightforward to do that - I could do that!! :)
I have a different username (Seren isn't my real name) so I will contact you directly through the website soon. I promise that if the new website is a big improvement, then I will increase my rating, delete this review and write a better one for you!!! ;)
************************************************************
Hi! I have just signed up to the site, paid for my membership, and so far I have to say that the site is not user friendly. I click to look at someone's profile, and I am taken right back to my own profile. I click to search for other sitters to see what I'm competing with - it takes me back to the sign up page, even though I've already signed up and am logged in at the time!!! I'm generously giving 3/5 because I want to give it a chance and it's too early to judge everything else. But based just on the website itself I would only give 1/5. It's really poor, and someone commented on this in another review all the way back in 2019!!! Reply from HouseSitMatch says you're on it and improving the site. 6 years later!!!!???? Please! It is time to deliver that promise! I can't make head nor tail (excuse pun) of anything on this site and I can barely navigate it!
ALSO.... on your info pages it says about wonderful opportunities in Beijing, China and other places, where are they?? I've run a search and there's literally nothing in China or most other countries.
Question - am I on a trial with cooling off period and can I get a refund if I don't get enough of the opportunities I want on this site please ?

"Would suit anyone who loves walks,nature,cycling,bird watching"

This Housesit was a pleasure…a warm,comfortable home, bikes to borrow in garage, peaceful locality set in quiet lanes ,10 min walk to coastal walkway , 30 min walk to town …a short car drive to New Forest.
My patrons were thoughtful, kind and welcoming , responding quickly to queries whilst they were away. Little dog Millie well trained and a joy to care for ..
I’m often asked which company I use and quick to recommend Lamia and her team at Housesitmatch....the service/ support they provide is exceptional.

"Housesitting service par excellence!"

I joined HousesitMatch earlier this year having become very disillusioned with another much larger house/pet sitting company. From the very outset, I have been impressed by the help, advice and personal contact that HSM have offered. Any questions I had were answered very promptly and I have felt that their intention is to offer the very best service possible.They have certainly done so!
It is reassuring to know that all sitters are checked as our pets are most precious and this gives great peace of mind. The person who came to look after my 2 lovely Irish rescue ex racing greyhounds was wonderful and I was able to go on holiday reassured that they were in good hands.
I genuinely believe that the priority of sitters on HSM is to care for others pets, and not just to have a free holiday.
I fully recommend HouseSitMatch.

"Great value House sitting option"

We have been using HouseSit Match for a few years now as we have a dog and a cat, so the alternatives are somewhat complicated. It is great to know that your house and pets are in good hands and HouseSit Match gives you that assurance.

I was recently quoted £85 a night for someone to come and house sit for us privately and was shocked at the potential cost ..... at £595 a week that is quite a significant additional cost to your holiday and makes the annual membership of HouseSit Match (£89 a year) look like a total bargain!

The house-sitters are all vetted and reviewed and you get to choose who you think would be best suited for your house-sit. We will be using them again for our next trip.
