42 Trending House Sitting Businesses [2023]

House sitters take care of customers' homes while they are away for extended periods. You may be able to offer house sitting to people with multiple properties for short-term or long-term, depending on how much time you have.

Starting a house-sitting business does not require a huge amount of capital. You can create a website or a social media page and advertise your services. Your typical duties as a house-sitting agent will include the following:

• Feeding pets, cleaning cages and grooming them
• General housework and cleaning
• Maintaining gardens and hedges
• Taking in the post, newspapers, and junk mail
• Watering houseplants

You can attract new customers by printing a few business flyers and targeting wealthy housing estates or apartments in the city.
