Housecarers Founder Ian White Shares with Long time housecarers.com member Dr. Maureen Murphy, who spends 95 percent of her time staying in other people's houses.
We listen to our Members (23 years of "I hear you"), to constantly improve the matching experience, making Housecarers a Friendly and Safe place to explore both sides of the House-Sitting equation. We have not arrived. We recognise there is always, room for Improvement.
We believe in
Fairness, Compassion, Courtesy, Integrity, Excitement, Openness, Friendship, Community, and Fun.
We will never lose the personal touch and, are eager to guide you along the way. Helping each other out is a welcome change to self-interest. Our members lives are enriched as Sitters and Homeowners make the fair exchange in the HouseCarers Community.
An occupied home is a safer home when you are away. And your pets are happier at home with their environment and routines intact.
They can stay and Play when you're away. Founder Ian White, house sitting in Jewells, NSW, Australia
Why Housecarers?
We may not be the largest (we can claim to be the first!), but we have loyal Homeowners returning year after year. We have low overheads, and a worldwide network of Instigators, Partners and Helpers who get things done. We are not pressured in outlaying big marketing budgets to sign up more-and-more House sitters, or impress with fancy expensive office space. We are proud to be debt free!
We keep the balance right, so Homeowners are not inundated by applications. Quality not volume!
Our House Sitters tell us, they have Good Success by following our Guides. They find a whole new world of travel experiences, that they may not have been able to afford. We are more like a Housesitting Family than a Corporation.
Housecarers.com is now synonymous with House Sitting, and owns the domains Housesitting.com and Housesitters.com

Owner and Founder
Housecarers.com was founded by Ian White in October 2000, then in Narrabeen NSW Australia. After a long career in Marketing and Information Technology Ian was looking for a break from the corporate Rat Race. A colleague told him of an expensive entry in a printed House Sitting Directory that did not pay off.
Ian then Pioneered the Internet's first World Wide House Sitting Membership site; securely matching House Sitters with Home and Pet owners.
