House Sitting / Vacation Care

Peace of Mind While You’re Away

Going on vacation or leaving town for an extended period can be stressful, especially when you’re worried about your home and pets. With House Sitting and Vacation Care from Everyday Helper, you can relax knowing your home is in good hands — whether you live in Coralville, Iowa City, North Liberty, Tiffin, West Branch, Riverside, Oxford, or Swisher. Our reliable team provides care for your property, pets, plants, and everything in between while you’re away.

We’ve supported travelers across the Corridor since 2015, and we know that “peace of mind” really just means someone dependable checking in exactly as often as you need.

What We Offer:

Home Security & Maintenance Checks

Collecting mail, taking out the trash, rotating lights, and general checks to make sure everything is in order and your home looks lived-in.

Pet Care While You Travel

Feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship for pets who stay home — so they're comfortable in a familiar environment instead of a kennel. (See our Pet Sitting page for full details.)

Plant & Garden Care

Watering, light garden upkeep, and seasonal attention so you don't come home to wilted plants or an overgrown yard.

Flexible Visit Schedules

From a daily drop-in to multiple visits a day, we build a schedule around your trip — not a fixed package that may not fit.
