Go. Someone you trust is home.

The moment a trip comes up, the next thought is rarely the flight. It's, "What am I going to do about my pet?"

Most people don't mind leaving. They mind leaving someone else in charge. Will they follow my routine? Will my pet be scared? Will I actually hear from them? Heart & Home answers those before you ask. Your pet stays in their own bed and routine, a sitter matched to them is in the home most of the day, and you hear from us every single day.

You are not scrolling through strangers and hoping for the best, and you are not dropping your pet at a kennel and hoping they cope. You meet your sitter before anything is booked, and when you get home, it feels like you never left.

The Heart & Home Promise

Every sitter on our team keeps it.

  • Work-from-home sitters, present most of the day
  • One household per stay, always
  • Every sitter is background checked
  • Basic home care included on stays of 3 or more days: mail, plants, and a watchful eye on the house. Your home is left as good as we found it, or better
  • Walks included if they are part of your pet's routine
  • Updates as often as you like, agreed together, and a check-in every single day
  • A Complimentary Consultation Visit before your first stay

A booking app

You browse profiles and pick someone you have never met. Standards depend on who you happen to choose, and nobody is matching that person to your pet.

A kennel or pet resort

Your pet leaves their home and routine for a new place with new smells, new sounds, and other animals. Staff work in shifts, so the person caring for your pet can change. Rates vary widely, and extras like playtime or medication often cost more.

Heart & Home

A small team of in-home sitters who share one standard of care. You are matched, not left to guess, and your pet never leaves home.

$60a day for your first pet

$25 a day for each additional pet. The same rate with every sitter, and all-day care is included. A $25 booking fee holds your dates and comes off your total.

Find your sitter.

Five quick questions, and we'll point you to the sitter who fits your pet and how you like to be kept in the loop. It's also the easiest way to get to know us.

How we match

Instead of handing you a list of strangers, we match you with the sitter who fits. You meet before anything is booked, and you can always ask for someone else.

  • Your result is a recommendation, not a rule.
  • Every new client starts with a Complimentary Consultation Visit.
  • Every sitter keeps the same Heart & Home Promise, at the same rate.

The people behind Heart & Home.

Every owner knows the moment. Bags by the door, your pet watching you, and someone you barely know about to take over. We started Heart & Home because that moment should not feel like a gamble.

We are two sisters who love animals: the quirky ones, the anxious ones, the silly ones, the old ones. We also know that letting someone into your home takes trust you should not hand to just anyone. So we do not leave the match to chance. As the team grows, every new sitter is held to the same standard.

We built this so no one has to hope for the best when they leave their pet.
