Built for pet sitting across Australia

    Better trips begin with pets feeling at home.

    Sitterly is an Australian marketplace where homeowners and pet lovers connect directly for live-in pet and house sitting.

    Real people, familiar homes and thoughtful care for much-loved pets.

    A simple exchange

    A place to stay, in exchange for caring for pets and home.

    The sitter stays in the homeowner’s home while they are away. In return, the sitter follows the agreed pet-care routines and looks after the home. No money changes hands for the sit itself.

    Homeowners can keep pets in familiar surroundings. Sitters can discover places across Australia while spending time with animals. Both sides decide whether the match feels right.

    Clear expectations from the beginning.
