What Is Christian House Sitting?
Christian house sitting is a simple arrangement in which a Christian homeowner asks another Christian to live in and care for their home and pets while they are away. In return, the house sitter receives accommodation without paying rent.
Christian House Sitters is a worldwide Christian house‑sitting ministry that brings homeowners and house sitters together.
How does Christian house sitting work?
If you are a homeowner planning to go away, you can register your home with Christian House Sitters free of charge. Your property details are then made available to registered Christian house sitters.
House sitters can look through available opportunities and enquire about a property that interests them. The homeowner then contacts the potential sitter, checks their references and decides whether they are the right person for the house sit.
The homeowner and house sitter agree the arrangements directly with each other.
Why use a Christian house sitter?
Leaving your home and pets while you are away can be a concern. A Christian house sitter can provide someone you know and trust to live in your home, care for your pets and help keep your property secure.
Because Christian House Sitters is specifically for Christians, members are required to provide details of their Christian church connection when registering. Homeowners are encouraged to obtain references, including a reference from a church leader, before agreeing to a house sit.
What does it cost?
Homeowners register for free. House sitters pay £25 per year for membership. There are no other charges made by Christian House Sitters for arranging a house sit.
The membership income supports vulnerable children at Home of Peace Children's Home in Kenya through TLC Children’s Trust (UK Charity No. 1156786). View the TLC Website
Can house sitters really stay rent‑free?
Yes. The house sitter does not pay rent to stay in the homeowner's property. The sitter is responsible for their own normal travelling and personal expenses, including getting to and from the house sit and providing their own food.
The exact arrangements and responsibilities should always be agreed between the homeowner and sitter before the house sit begins.
Where can I find Christian house‑sitting opportunities?
Christian House Sitters is a worldwide service. Registered sitters are notified by email of all new houses and can then log in to see more details and apply. Opportunities vary depending on the homes listed by members.
