Housekeep
Housekeep is an app-based booking platform that matches customers with vetted local cleaners for one-off, weekly or fortnightly visits, billed automatically by the hour. It is not a staffing agency in the traditional sense: there's no live-in placement, no employment contract between homeowner and housekeeper, and no reference-checking service for a permanent hire. Its scale is the standout feature, with a review base many times larger than any agency on this page.
What people praise
- Fastest way to get a cleaner into your home on short notice
- No contract, cancel or change a booking online
- Vetted cleaners matched automatically by postcode
- Cashless, automatic billing per visit
Worth knowing
- Not a placement service, so it won't help you hire a dedicated live-in or live-out housekeeper as staff
- Several recent reviewers describe inconsistent standards on individual bookings
Our take: Useful for regular gig-style cleaning visits, but not the right fit if what you actually want is a vetted, dedicated housekeeper placed into your household. For that, look at the specialist agencies below.
