Software for house sitting business owners

Make the agreed stay easy to pick up again.

Mail collection, plant care and an overnight stay need different arrangements. Keep the accepted dates and household tasks beside the client's contact and invoice, with sensitive access information handled through your secure process.

Unleash your potential.

The everyday details

You know the work.
The admin adds up.

An arrival change affects more than the calendar

A client returning early or extending a trip changes the work you have reserved. Agree the revised stay and its charge before an informal update leaves your diary and invoice describing different arrangements.

Household routines are easy to assume

Collecting mail, bringing bins back and watering indoor plants are distinct tasks. Establish what is included and what requires a separate arrangement rather than relying on the phrase look after the house.

Access details need care

Keys, alarm arrangements and household privacy matter. Keep ordinary job notes focused on the agreed work and use a secure process for credentials or detailed security instructions.

A day in the life

From the first quote to paid.

  1. Discuss the household's expectations

    Confirm the stay, visits and tasks you can accept. Establish your own handover and emergency arrangements, keeping sensitive access instructions in the secure process you use for that purpose.

  2. Reserve the work directly

    Check the schedule and record the dates agreed with the client. Add preparation or handover appointments if needed and review any overlap before accepting another request.

  3. Handle a changed return plan

    If the client asks for an extension, check availability and agree the billing effect. Update job tasks and appointments so the business record matches the arrangement you have confirmed.

  4. Finish the stay's paperwork

    Review completed tasks and any approved purchases. Prepare the invoice, share its PDF from your device and record payments received through your existing collection method.

A few useful answers

Questions from house sitting business owners.

Is Microtra a place for owners to find a house sitter?

It is software for running your own business, rather than a sitter marketplace. You arrange the client relationship and use the app to keep the accepted work and billing organized.

Can I store alarm codes in ordinary client notes?

Use a secure process suited to access credentials and household security information. Keep ordinary business notes focused on dates, scope and the people authorized to agree changes.

What if I want a record for each house?

Other uses Job and Client with linked records initially off. Enable linked records in Modules & terms if separate property context would help your business.

Does it automatically notify the homeowner after a visit?

Server email and SMS delivery are coming soon. Provide agreed updates yourself through the channel you and the client use; marking a task in the app does not send a household report.
