Detailed Review
HouseSit Match is operated by HOUSESIT MATCH LIMITED, registered in England and Wales under company number 07892745, with its registered office at 7 West Waye, High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire HP13 5PT. English courts have jurisdiction and English law applies.
The home page says registration is free, membership unlocks full access to listings and messaging, and there are no transaction fees. It says the network has run since 2014.
Plans for homeowners and sitters
Homeowners choose Value, Choice or Premium. Value lists one property; Choice and Premium allow up to three and include the 24/7 Vet Advice Line, and Premium adds a listing boost.
Sitters have the same three tiers, with the vet line from Choice and a profile boost on Premium. A combined account lets one person act as both.
What members get
All plans include reviews and references on profiles, on-platform video calls and discounts on upgrades. The pages show the plan names and features but the yearly amounts did not appear in the text we read.
The terms of supply say prices include VAT and GST where applicable.
HouseSit Match compared with Rover
Rover is a booking marketplace; HouseSit Match is a membership listing site for stays at the owner's home, with no commission on a sit.
Rover is far larger, and the pages we read give no member count for HouseSit Match.
Limitations to Consider
Prices are not visible in the text we read, there is no boarding or walking, and the network is smaller than Rover's. The hosting region is not stated. For public annual prices compare TrustedHousesitters.
