Combined memberships: all you need to know

Are you a pet owner with a passion for travel, meeting new people, and keeping pets happy at home? We often talk about the benefits of being a sitter—or the benefits of being an owner—but the reality is many of us fit into both categories. That can make choosing the right membership tricky. Good news: it doesn’t have to be.

What is a combined membership?

FurPetVo offers a combined membership that includes both owner and sitter access. With it, you can experience the joy of house sitting while also benefiting from FurPetVo’s trusted community of sitters—ensuring your pets stay happy and comfortable where they belong: at home.

What are the benefits?

Combined members truly get the best of both worlds:

  • Unlimited access to caring pet sitters whenever you need them
  • Unlimited access to house sits with pets around the world
  • First-hand experience of how the house and pet sitting process works—from applying for sits to creating your own listing and selecting the perfect sitter
  • Opportunity to care for different types of animals (e.g., owned a dog but always wanted to care for a cat)
  • Chance to make new friends—whether by hosting sitters or staying in homes as a sitter
  • Stronger, more effective future listings—better photos, clearer home descriptions, and deeper insight into what matters most to both owners and sitters

Is it really unlimited?

Yes—just like individual owner or sitter memberships, the combined option is billed annually. But unlike single-tier plans, it gives you unlimited access to pet care from trusted sitters whenever you travel—and unlimited opportunities to apply for house sits worldwide.

How do I start my combined membership?

Our combined membership plans cost only slightly more than a single owner or sitter plan. To sign up, simply select the combined membership option at checkout.
