OUR STORY
Built on aneighbourly idea
Popular suburbs
How it started
A problem felt close to home. A solution found like next door.
It started the way the best ideas usually do — not in a boardroom, but over a problem that felt uncomfortably real.
People wanted local, affordable, human storage — and the people nearby often had the exact space needed.
Katie and Alex launched Keepsakeit with a simple belief: that the neighbourhoods we live in are full of untapped goodwill, and that with the right platform, trust could be built systematically — background checks, verified photos, binding agreements, and Stripe-secured payments doing the hard work of making strangers feel like neighbours.
The garage next door might be exactly what someone needs. And the person who needs it might be three streets away!

Our journey
The values we never compromise on
We built Keepsakeit the way we’d want a platform built for ourselves. These aren’t words on a wall — they’re the decisions we make every day when building the product.
Trust is earned, not assumed
We verify every host through identity and criminal history screening. Trust on Keepsakeit is systematic — not a feeling, but a process you can rely on.
Community over corporation
We believe in the power of neighbours. Every booking keeps money within the local community — not a faceless facility. That matters to us deeply.
Transparency
Pricing is clear. Agreements are plain-language. Every review is from a real booking. We refuse to hide anything that could affect your decision.
Fair for both sides
Renters deserve affordability and access. Hosts deserve fair income and control. We’ll never sacrifice one for the other — our platform only works if both sides win.
Real Stories
From our community
Emma R.
I was paying $280/month at a storage unit 45 minutes away. Found a host 3 streets from home for $95. Wish I’d done this years ago.
My garage was just collecting junk. Now it earns $220/month with minimal effort. Keepsakeit handled the whole process — I just handed over a key.

Newtown Host Moving overseas for 2 years and didn’t want to throw everything out. My host even sends me photos when I ask. Truly neighbourly.
