House sitting, sorted

Your sitter deserves better than a note on the fridge.

SitMate gives every house sit a digital property guide — access codes, pet care, daily tasks, and a direct line to you. One link. No app download. Peace of mind.

Features

Everything a great house sit needs.

SitMate handles everything from the moment you hand over the keys to the moment you get home.

🔑
Full property access guide
Door codes, key location, alarm instructions, gate codes, parking — all in one place your sitter can check at any time.
📶
WiFi tap-to-copy
Your sitter taps the WiFi card and the password copies instantly. No squinting at handwritten notes.
🐾
Pet care cards
A dedicated card per pet — feeding times and instructions, medications, walk routine, vet contact, and personality notes.
✅
Live task checklist
Daily, weekly, fortnightly, and one-off tasks. Your sitter ticks them off — you see it happen in real time.
🛋️
Room by room notes
Add notes for any room or area — quirky appliances, things to avoid, how the TV remote works.
📍
Interactive local map
Pin your favourite café, the nearest supermarket, or the vet. Your sitter taps a pin and Google Maps opens with directions.
📞
Emergency contacts
Neighbour, plumber, electrician, vet — one tap to call or text directly from the sitter's guide.
💬
Direct messaging
Owner and sitter can message each other directly inside the app. No more switching between SMS, WhatsApp, and email.
📧
Automatic confirmation email
When you confirm a sit, your sitter gets an email with their guide link and sit dates automatically.
📱
No app download needed
Your sitter just opens a link. Works on any phone, any browser. They can add it to their home screen for quick access.
🔄
Reuse for every sit
Your property guide lives permanently in SitMate. Update it anytime. Each new sitter gets a fresh link — nothing to rebuild.
🔒
Secure token access
Each sit gets a unique unguessable link. Only the person you share it with can access your property guide.
Why SitMate

TrustedHouseSitters finds your sitter. SitMate runs the sit.

The big platforms stop at matching. Everything that happens after the handover is left to WhatsApp threads and notes on the bench. SitMate fixes that.

Real situations SitMate solves

Sound familiar?

"I left three pages of notes on the kitchen bench and my sitter still texted me four times in the first day asking where things were."
— Every homeowner, ever
"I couldn't remember if I'd told her about the alarm or the back gate code. I spent the whole first night of our holiday worrying."
— Common first-sit experience
"Our dog has a complex feeding schedule and medications. I ended up calling home twice a day just to make sure everything was okay."
— Pet owner heading overseas
FAQ

Common questions.

No. Your sitter just opens a link — it works in any browser on any phone. They can add it to their home screen for easy access during the sit, but there's nothing to install.
Absolutely. SitMate isn't a matching platform — it's a tool you use after you've found your sitter. It works with TrustedHouseSitters, Aussie House Sitters, Facebook groups, or a friend of a friend. If you have a sitter, SitMate makes the sit better.
Your property guide stays saved in SitMate permanently. When you add a new sit, a fresh unique link is generated for that sitter. You never have to rebuild your guide — just update it whenever something changes.
Yes. Each sit gets a unique, unguessable access token. Only someone with the exact link you share can access your guide. Your owner portal is protected by email and password login.
Starter ($19.99 NZD) covers one house sit — perfect if you travel occasionally. Lifetime ($99 NZD) gives you unlimited sits forever. If you travel more than a couple of times, Lifetime pays for itself quickly. You can start on Starter and upgrade anytime.
We create your SitMate account, build your full property guide, add your pets, tasks, emergency contacts, and map pins based on details you send us. We also walk through a test sit with you to make sure everything looks great. It includes the Lifetime plan and is ready within 2 business days.
Email us at hello@kiwicode.net.nz with the plan you'd like. We'll send you payment details and activate your account as soon as payment is received. It's quick and straightforward.
