House sitting you can trust
Keep your home occupied while you’re away with a safe, human exchange: accommodation in return for light services (presence, pet care, small tasks), within a clear framework.
Why have someone stay in your home while you’re away?
It’s not only about security. A real presence helps keep daily life “normal”: small issues get spotted early, the home stays cared for, and you leave with peace of mind.
-
A lived-in home is naturally more reassuring
-
Basic upkeep helps prevent unpleasant surprises
-
Pets and plants can be cared for consistently
A modern alternative to traditional house sitting
ToitChezMoi is based on home sharing in exchange for services. Instead of a purely transactional arrangement, it’s a balanced agreement: you provide accommodation, and the other person commits to a defined presence and agreed tasks.
The goal is simple: clarity, respect and trust—with expectations agreed upfront.
How it works on ToitChezMoi
- Create a listing describing your home, dates, and expectations.
- Talk to potential guests and choose the profile that feels right.
- Put it in writing: tasks, frequency, house rules, and end date.
- Leave with confidence, knowing your home is occupied and respected.
What can be included in the exchange?
Keep it simple and realistic. Typical examples include:
- A regular presence in the home
- Collecting mail and deliveries
- Light day-to-day upkeep
- Watering plants / basic garden care
- Pet care
- General supervision of the property
Trust, safety and clear expectations
Trust is built through transparency. We recommend a written agreement and clear house rules. To support both sides, ToitChezMoi provides a code of conduct and a safety guide.
- ✔ Clear communication before committing
- ✔ Written agreement recommended
- ✔ Shared code of conduct
- ✔ Practical safety guidance
Who is this for?
This solution is especially relevant for homeowners who travel, people away for extended periods, families, pet owners, and anyone looking for a trust-based way to keep a home occupied.
