A BRIGHTON business which has become the world’s biggest house sitting community has partnered with a huge national pet retailer.

TrustedHousesitters will be working with retailer Pets Corner which opened its first store in Haywards Heath in 1968.

Through the partnership, TrustedHousesitters UK members will get access to exclusive offers that can be redeemed at Pets Corner.

Members can also benefit from the expert knowledge of Pets Corner’s staff who are classroom trained in pet food, nutrition and products.

Andy Peck, founder and CEO of TrustedHousesitters said: “Pets Corner and TrustedHousesitters are both recognised as industry leaders for animal welfare in the UK.

“Both organisations strive for happy pets and happy owners.

“We’re really excited about this fantastic opportunity to work with a caring family-run business that shares our values, helping more pet owners choose an ideal pet sitter at home so they can travel with peace of mind.”

Pets Corner customers will also have the opportunity to join the TrustedHousesitters community - which now consists of more than 300,000 people in 140 countries - with a month’s free trial, giving them unlimited access to an unrivalled world of leading, in-home pet care solution.
