Direct Sitters

Direct Sitters is a online web-platform that provides short-term house sitting.

Instead of waiting in all day for a plumber, repairman, BT, Virgin Media, or Sky engineers. They will send someone to your home to wait for them so you don’t have to.

All their sitters are CRB checked, fully insured house sitters for people who have Sky, BT, Virgin Media, British Gas engineers, builders and tradesmen coming.

Offering a service that saves people time, money, and the inconvenience of taking a day out of their annual leave, losing out on a days’ pay/work or rescheduling their diaries to accommodate for the inconvenient time slot e.g. 8am-1pm.

You can choose from 3 time slot AM (8am - 12pm) PM (1pm - 6pm) or All Day (8am - 6pm). The sitter will arrive before you go to work or pick up keys from your workplace. Booking and payment is done online and all sitters are directly employed, and come from a childcare background.

Working on a principle of the inconvenience these situations cause, and the fact that people have far better things to do than wait at home for repairmen to attend. They provide a convenient service which solves a huge problem.
