Be the first sitter they hear from
The alert app for serious and full-time house sitters. Sitizen watches TrustedHousesitters around the clock and messages you on Telegram the moment a sit that fits your plans goes live.
Seconds, not hours
New listings reach you while owners are still reading their first applications.
Only what fits
Dates, places, pets, length. Sits you'd never take never ping you.

Open listingStraight to Telegram
A push on your phone, your laptop, or a group you share with your partner.
Running while you sleep
Owners post at all hours, in every time zone. Sitizen doesn't take nights off.
The good sits go in hours.
We house sat full-time for two and a half years. The sits we won, we won the same way: we applied early, and we wrote the owner a real message.
Sitizen does the early part, so you can spend your time on the message.
How it works
Three minutes to set up. Then it just runs.

Questions
No. Sitizen is an independent tool made by house sitters. It tells you about new sits; you still apply on TrustedHousesitters with your own membership.
Yes, to apply. Sitizen only gets you to the listing faster.
Telegram notifications arrive instantly on every device, it's free, and alerts can go to a group, so a couple sees them together. Email is too slow for this.
Yes. Add the bot to a Telegram group you're both in and alerts go there instead of your private chat.
No, and it won't. Owners can tell a copied message from a real one. Sitizen gets you there first; the message is yours.
