Find the Right Match
Plain English search
Describe what you are looking for in everyday language — not clunky filters. Find sits or sitters that suit your lifestyle and location.
Location and dates
Search by area and date range so you see opportunities that actually fit your plans.
Browse listings and profiles
Homeowners browse sitter profiles. Sitters browse open sits with clear pet and property information upfront.
For Homeowners
Create listings
Post your sit with dates, photos, pet details, and what you need from a sitter.
Suburb-level privacy
Public listing cards show suburb and postcode only — never your full street address.
Review applications
See who applied in one place. Shortlist favourites and decline others with polite, ready-made messages.
Choose your sitter
Compare profiles, verification badges, and experience before you decide.
Pet care cards
Detailed per-pet information so sitters know feeding routines, medications, and quirks before they arrive.
Stay in Touch
Real-time messaging
Chat privately inside the app — no more lost Messenger threads or screenshot juggling.
Organised conversations
Every discussion stays tied to the listing and the people involved.
Trust and Verification
Verified profiles
ID, address, and phone verification available so members can show they are who they say they are.
Green tick identity check
Optional one-time Stripe Identity verification. See /how-identity-verification-works-on-hsa/
Optional badges
Police Checks and Working With Children Checks can be added to profiles. Optional — never forced.
Founding Member numbers
Sitters who join during the founding offer receive a numbered badge (FM-1 to FM-500).
Agreements and Records
Digital sit agreements
Digitally signed agreements help both sides start with clear expectations.
Agreement PDF export
Download a record of what was agreed.
Sit history
Listings, applications, and agreements stay in your account — long after a Facebook post disappears.
Safety and Privacy
Private addresses
Full street addresses live in private records and are shared only with your chosen sitter through the sit agreement — not on public cards.
