What Checks Are Done on the Carer?
All house sitters are selected from PrivCare’s trusted network of carers. Before being matched for house sitting, they must meet the following criteria:
-
Verified PrivCare Member
-
Profile reviewed by our team
-
Enhanced DBS Check completed
-
Professional references or care experience
-
“Available for House Sitting” added to their profile
Can the Carer Leave the House?
Yes — but with agreed boundaries.
Carers are not expected to remain indoors 24/7, unless specified. However:
-
They must never leave the property for extended periods without notifying the client.
-
Any short errands (e.g. shop visits) should be communicated in advance.
-
If continuous presence is needed (e.g. for pet care), that should be agreed before the booking.
