EasyJet's Free Pet-Sitting Service: Travel with Peace of Mind

Traveling with pets isn't always straightforward—especially for owners of exotic animals like pigs, parakeets, or reptiles. It's heartbreaking to leave beloved companions with unfamiliar pet-sitters (or guardians) or shelters, particularly when they have special needs, like a sensitive stomach. Many pet owners forgo trips altogether. EasyJet recognizes this challenge and now offers UK customers a complimentary pet-sitting service. Brilliant, right?

Trusted Guardians

A survey shows 58% of pet owners would travel more with reliable, affordable pet-sitting options. EasyJet partnered with TrustedHousesitters, a premier house-sitting platform, starting in early 2018, to deliver this free service. The aim? Help pet owners vacation stress-free, matching them with vetted sitters who provide top-notch care for furry (and other) friends. For pythons or similar, disclose details upfront! Travelers can book during flight reservations and chat with sitters directly.

Pet owners worldwide—including in France—hope for similar perks soon, ideally before summer!
