The House Sitters Review

BEST FEATURE 1:

Competition for house sitting jobs is not as tough as it is on other house sitting websites.

This is because The House Sitters work hard to maintain a fair ratio of home owners to house sitters.

Better than industry standard, the result is house sitters enjoy a higher proportion of successful applications than they do on other house sitting websites, where competition can be tough.

The House Sitters achieve this by focusing marketing efforts on attracting new home owner listings - an admirable practice, because no income is received from home owners who join, for free.

BEST FEATURE 2: 

The House Sitters email members to advise when a house sitting job they apply for has been filled.

This is very helpful, as it means hopeful house sitters are not left wondering if they're still in the running for assignments they apply for.

Not all house sitting websites let members know when a home owner has selected their house sitter/s.

This puts house sitters in the position of having to decide whether or not to apply for other assignments - especially difficult when the job they're waiting to hear back from is purrfect for their needs.

First In, First Served
House sitters have no guarantee of securing a particular house sitting job.  Therefore it is common practice to apply for multiple assignments simultaneously.  

Because of this home owners should put aside time to respond to application messages as soon as they're received.  Start the 'negotiation' process sooner rather than later.  Later, and that great house sitter/s may no longer be available.

UNIQUE FEATURE

House Sitter profiles are not on public view!

Aware some people's preference is that their personal details are not on public display, The House Sitters shield profiles of house sitters from public view.

Profiles of house and pet sitters are seen only by home owners who receive an application from that person for their house sitting assignment.

There are any number of reasons why house sitters want their personal profile seen only by home owners with whom they choose to connect.

Some may wish to put distance between them and a difficult relationship.

Others might have a high public profile and prefer the fact that they are house sitting to not be public knowledge.
