Creating clear guidelines for house sitters is important to ensure your expectations are met, your home is well-maintained, and your pets are properly cared for in your absence.

Providing a written copy of these guidelines for your sitter can help ensure everything runs smoothly. The “Welcome Info Pack” located in your My Account menu is a great tool to utilise for this purpose.
By clearly communicating your expectations and providing detailed instructions, you can ensure a smooth and worry-free experience for both you and your house sitters.
