Average Response Time by Zone
"I fly to Frankfurt every Monday and return Thursday. My sitter has been in the house every week for 11 months. The orchids are thriving. The mail is sorted. I haven't thought about my house once."
Marcus Thornton
Management Consultant, KPMG
"I spend November through March in Portugal. Three winters now with Sitter. The boiler pressure has been checked weekly. My neighbour says the house looks lived-in. That is exactly what I paid for."
Fiona Abernethy-Walsh
Retired, wintering in Cascais
"Reassigned with 3 weeks notice. Sitter had someone in the property within 48 hours. Fourteen months later, I came home to find everything exactly as I left it. That is a professional service."
Cpt. James Osei-Bonsu
British Army, posted to Catterick
"Client secondment to Singapore for six months. I needed someone who would treat my flat like their own home, not a hotel. My sitter repotted my monstera. Unprompted. That is who we hire."
