My house and pet-sitting business: 'Irish people are great travellers, but the single biggest barrier is the stress of leaving the home empty'
"Tom Gilligan set up MindMyHome.ie to allow people to be house-sitters and pet-minders for holidaymakers"
"Mention the word 'house-sitter' and the first thing to come to mind will probably be the 1992 romantic comedy of the same name starring Goldie Hawn and Steve Martin."
"While all hell broke loose in that Hollywood scenario, in real life, it's much less chaotic, insists Tom Gilligan, the Mayo man who set up house and pet-sitting service mindmyhome.ie this year."
Tom Gilligan launched MindMyHome.ie to connect house-sitters and pet-minders with holidaymakers. The platform enables homeowners to find reliable people to stay in and care for properties and animals during holidays. The term 'house-sitter' often recalls the 1992 romantic comedy starring Goldie Hawn and Steve Martin, but real-life house-sitting differs markedly from the chaotic movie portrayal. The service emphasizes calm, practical arrangements and trust between homeowners and sitters. Gilligan, from Mayo, established the site this year to provide a straightforward, organised option for property and pet care while owners are away.
