So I’ve been a house sitter/dog watcher for a number of years. It’s truly easy money. I’m excellent at what I do. Odds are your place will be cleaner than when you left for your vacation or work trip. I’ll collect your mail and organize it by the date it was delivered, wash all my towels and bed sheets, never have guest over, etc, etc. However unknown to you and every person who has let me house sit. I’m going to go through your things. Specifically your clothes. Mainly just your clothes. I’ll open and go through every closet, and open and go through all your drawers. Dresses, suits, bathing suits, sweaters, pants, skirts, underwear, scarves, jackets, hosiery, hats, you own it, I’m going to take a look. If I really like something, if it really catches my eye or gets my heart going, I’ll try it on. I’ll stand in front of your mirror and see how it fits me. I’ll wear it around the house and see how it feels. Especially if you’re married woman, for some reason your things in particular I love to look through and wear.
Yes the thrill is doing something I’m not supposed to be doing and the thrill of possibly getting caught in your sexiest outfit. But mainly, if you thought it was nice enough to buy and wear, I want to see why. When I’m done, I’ll fold it back up, or hang it exactly how I found it. You never know. How do I know, because you’ve asked me to house sit again and again and again.
It started when I was back in high school. My friends would have a party, and when everyone was outside, I’d go upstairs and see what their mom had tucked away, then I’d try it on see how I looked, the fold it back and put it away like nothing ever happened. Then I started house sitting, and found out I could have free reign and not have to sneak around.
I’m sure this all sounds incredibly creepy, and like a breach of trust, I’m not looking for advice, just wanted to get it off my chest.
Looking back it does feel wrong, so I regret it, now.

This is so unhinged. Guy pretends to be Buffalo Bill while he house sits for you lmao
You’re cooked if the house has security cameras
~I’m excellent at what I do.~
No you’re not if you are going through peoples stuff. That’s trashy and gross. You’re paid to do a job, not go through peoples stuff.
So your confession is that you’re a creep
I hope you don’t include your Reddit account in your “contact details”, when you house sit!
That sucks of you to do to people who are paying and trusting you-but I guess I do get the curiosity. However, I wouldn’t be trying other people’s clothes on.
Are you or have you ever been tempted to steal something? Have you stolen anything?
I feel that doing this might be a slippery slope toward theft or some other bad end. Also, seconding the statement that you’re cooked if the house has cameras.
Since you now regret it, hopefully you’ll no longer be doing this.
Wow. Thanks for making me want to never have someone I don’t know house/dog sit.
Dude cameras are like $20, you are 100% getting caught one of these days.
lol, nice. Very creepy, very human. I mean, I get the urge, but you’re not actually supposed to do it, man.
Yikes, you’re only one step away from being recorded and confronted by a homeowner. Does that not scare you?
Just a matter of time….
You know, you are an adult now. You can buy your own pretty things.
You would love the book Missing Something by Matthew Dicks
Yikes!
I’m so glad you have told me this. From now on I’m going to tell my house-sitters that I have cameras in every room.
Edited typos.
You can’t trust no damn body 😂
This is so funny to me. I keep money in a few different spots around the house, but whenever we’ve gone out of town and hired a housesitter, I always hide it in spots that it would be impossible to find.
Mind you, my money is not just laying out in the open to begin with. It’s sequestered away in drawers and dark corners. I just like having a little stash of cash that I can lay my hands on if I need to.
My husband has laughed at me for making sure I remove it from all the normal places and hide it somewhere impossible to find whenever someone is housesitting. My husband swears that nobody would go through our belongings. I will be showing him this post!!
Also, I’m not implying that OP would steal money— but I definitely would not trust someone I hired to housesit to resist the temptation. And I always operate on the assumption that they’re going to be going through my stuff— even though that’s creepy as shit and I would never do that to anybody else.
But I guess thanks OP — now I have a way to prove my point!
I have a camera in my room lol
This is disturbing
Sea kelp.
What are you going to say when you’re eventually caught?
this is scary af
I’m strangely ok with this as long you organize my closet and drawers in penance.
This is soooo fucked up
I would NEVER go through anyone’s stuff, just because they could have cameras…… but years ago, before cameras were popular, I always went through peoples’ medicine cabinets looking for prescription pills 😂 now I’m sober and smarter though, so no more snooping.
And this is why hidden cameras are a great idea!
Now I’m waiting for the confession from the person who gets off on watching their house sitter try on their clothes.
You must know that most everyone has cameras. I hope you stop before it ends up as badly as I think it will for you.
Cameras are a thing. You’re going to get caught.
Weirdo, dude. Like “it rubs the lotion on its skin” weird.
Ew. I house sit too. It’s definetely very interesting to see how other people live. But going through their stuff is just creepy and makes you really bad at your job. People pay you because they trust you… Why would you even want to do that? I once accidentally found a vibrator when I was looking for toilet paper in a closet. It was so uncomfortable to see its owner afterwards…. Like I don’t want to know that much details about other people’s sex life
You can come play with my clothes if you’ll organize it.. it’s currently a disaster lol
I’m so fucking stoned and this is wild. This is why I don’t let anyone house sit for me lol.
I know this is absolutely not the point but “organizing the mail by the date it’s delivered” is very funny to list as a perk. Oh you mean you put today’s mail on top of yesterday’s and then tomorrow you’ll put that mail on top of that? Truly a gem, I must hire you again
super weird. one day you might not be so lucky they may have cameras hidden inside. my sister in law has them you would never know!
Ew weirdo
You don’t even wash them? Sir. Please just buy your own clothes. You can buy dresses if you want, we won’t care.
Cross dressing pervert was not the confession I thought this was gonna be.
Bro discovered free will and is using it for evil. Funny how you regret it after actually thinking about it.
Ok. I will never do this scenario.
Yeah, I’m not getting any regret vibes from you after reading that. That sounded more like a brag. Someone made a good point, you can buy your own pretty things now, you’re an adult you don’t have to hide what you like.
I’m speaking from experience here.
You will get caught. At best, it’ll be embarrassing as hell. More likely, you’ll lose your clients. Your safety might be at risk.
You might be telling yourself, “I’m not hurting anyone, because they don’t know.”
Once you get exposed, all of the harm from these violations will hit the people you’re snooping on. That bill comes due.
Additionally, anyone who you’ve had opportunity to snoop, and didn’t spy on them, they’ll also feel violated, because they won’t know you didn’t do it to them.
Please, and I’m asking as someone who’s ‘thing’ was very similar to you, talk to someone. Get some help, find someone you can talk to. While 12-step programs aren’t the only way, they’re a way. Talk to some sex addicts in recovery.
Lots of people on this thread judging you. I’d love for tonight to be the last time you feel that.
This is why I don’t trust people
I notice when *anything* in my living space is not the way I left it. I also have a very specific way of folding things since I worked in retail for 10 years. Guess this weirdo hasn’t housesat for someone with managed OCD yet.
You justify the each and every one of the cameras and door sensors I have all throughout and around my home. Please house sit for me, I want to see something.
I’m too paranoid! I would definitely be thinking there is a hidden camera in every room. I clean for people and I swear they leave things hidden under furniture to see if I clean it! lol. Paranoid
That’s disgusting man. Keep your fetishes to yourself, don’t include people who haven’t consented. Paying you to house or pet sit is not consenting.
My bedroom has a camera in it, it’s not hidden. If someone wanted to dress up in my clothes even after seeing the camera … I guess just put everything back where you found it and enjoy housesitting for me for the last time.
This is copypasta
Creepy
Weirdo
In other r/confession posts: I keep hiring this house sitter, and secretly film him wearing my knickers. I then make millions uploading it to OnlyFans.
Yeah. Ur a creep. You can’t be trusted.
People like you are why security cameras were invented.
Single handedly ruined house sitting business. Congratulations
Seek professional help.
God damn dude. I have a hard time knowing what emotions to feel when reading this.
Seek some help. We’ve all got our quirks and stuff. But this is too far…
Why I don’t let strangers in my house. Fuck u man
And this is why I have bedroom and closet locks.
> I’m sure this all sounds incredibly creepy, and like a breach of trust
“Sounds”? As in, you typed all that out and you only think it SOUNDS creepy???
> Looking back it does feel wrong, so I regret it, now.
The rest of the post is written in the present and future tense. “I’m going to go through your things.” “I love”. “The thrill is”.
So you’re “looking back” on what? Last Tuesday? If you really regret it, then quit your job, tell this all to a therapist, and never let yourself be unattended in another person’s house until you’re fully rehabilitated. It took you roughly 20 years of this behavior to realize it “feels” wrong, and all that regret makes you want to do is make a slightly smug anonymous confession on Reddit and “get it off your chest”?
And this is why I’ll never have a house sitter.
Annd its reasons like this why ill never pay for anyone other then family or friends to house sit or watch my pets..
If you house sit and go through people’s shit then you suck at what you do tf are you talking about. Your entire job is to be there without being a weird creepy person
Especially a married woman’s ??? wtf
Yes, it’s incredibly creepy. You are violating people’s trust in you.
And there’s this. I have cat sitters at times and my house is covered in small cameras. The bathrooms are the only place where I can’t log in and see what’s going on.
If I saw someone going through my clothes, I would be very upset.
Awesome confession! I think everyone secretly suspects anyone who has house sat.
I don’t think OP thought this would be the response to his confession….Sorry OP what you are doing is an invasion of peoples privacy. You can clean and organize all the mail you want, you are not good at your job, in fact you are failing at the one thing you are hired to do, which is to make make sure nobody messes with their stuff.
What would you do if you found out the owner knew and was masturbating to your pageantry?
At least wash it properly after, cmon now
You can clean and organize my flat, wear all the clothes you want
I’d be fine with this but you’d be extra disappointed lol
This confession made my blood run cold.
New fear unlocked
Yeah this just reinforces the sentiment I wouldn’t let anyone I don’t know very well stay in my home unattended.
As well as the sentiment some places will remain locked even if there is a trusted individual staying in the home while we are away.
Sometimes before traveling, I place random things in very specific ways and take a picture, if it’s changed when I get home I know the person looked through my things. Am I the only one who does this?
> sure this all sounds incredibly creepy, and like a breach of trust
That’s because it is
Sooo many people have cameras in their houses. I worked for a nannying agency that explicitly asked the families if they did so you could make an informed decision about taking the job. I understand cameras outside but inside creeps me out. Most of the people were extremely wealthy so I guess they’re just protecting their assets or trying to catch their house sitter wearing their clothes lol
