Understanding our new review system

Reviews are a lovely way to reward both house sitters and homeowners following a house sit. Reviews appear on a sitter’s profile adding credibility, helping to build trust and can also help to secure future house sits.

A day in my life as a house sitter

When house sitting I often find myself in a state of elevated happiness, at one with the world and totally detached from the everyday problems encountered in a ‘normal’ life.

This adventure has been fabulous since I started 1 year ago. I had my first sit within 1 week of joining and am now sitting full-time and rarely without a place to rest, stay and play and now getting repeat customers which is very nice for all of us concerned. I'm loving exploring my own city and finding places that I would never have visited, some of them absolute gems to discover with the bonus of finding lovely people and pets along the way. It is a great way to live while helping each other out. Mazz
