I recently rejoined Aussie Housesitters as a sitter after several years paying rent. It was really easy to update my profile & I received a discount on the joining fee. I love the new features on the site. I have several references in an attachment plus I receive regular email alerts of new housesitting positions. As well I received an offer of a wonderful sit within a few days! Thanks for a wonderful efficient service. Claire
