House sitting isn't just about handing over a key — it's about handing your home to someone you actually trust. Cupcake is a two-person West Sussex team: Kirstyn on pet and interior care, Glen on outdoor and property maintenance. Together we cover every corner of the job.
We look after primary homes, holiday cottages and second homes from Worthing through Littlehampton, Arundel and out to Chichester. Every sit starts with a free meet-up so we can walk the property with you, note the little quirks — the boiler, the alarm, the dodgy back-gate lock — and agree exactly what you want done while you're gone.
You'll come home to plants that are alive, post on the side, bins where they should be and, if you'd like, a home that's been given a clean before you walk in the door.

Frequently asked questions
What does house sitting cover?
House sitting keeps a trusted presence in your home while you're away. That includes security checks, collecting post and parcels, watering plants, putting bins out, opening and closing curtains and giving the property that lived-in look burglars avoid.
Do you house sit for holiday homes and second homes?
Yes. We look after several second homes and holiday lets across West Sussex, including inspection visits between guests, cleaning, gardening and small maintenance jobs.
Can you house sit and look after pets at the same time?
Absolutely — this is our most-booked service. One person, one trusted key, pets in their own home and the house properly looked after.
How far do you travel in West Sussex?
We're based in Worthing and regularly cover Worthing, Littlehampton, Rustington, Angmering, Arundel, Chichester and Bognor Regis. Get in touch for anywhere in between.
