Would really appreciate your self or any experienced pet/house sitter given their opinion on the following :- I am a 71 years old, British, very fit, a great deal of travelling, working and living around the world and when Airbnb started up, spent three summers staying with owners having a great time seeing Europe. I would be a 'newbie' but was a volunteer at a Wildlife Centre caring and doing presentations for the animals they had, plus over the last ten years have for friends walked, kept an eye on and even have lived with me several dogs and cats. Ex RAF, Civil Engineering, DH Teacher and IT Trainer meeting a wide range of people in my time. A gardener, house renovator and good at dealing with problems or a crisis. Recently learnt nearby for maybe two years major construction works which will negate me sitting reading, writing and painting in my very quiet garden, thus the idea of pet/house sitting now appeals me. Trusted House Sitters have told me, I would be in great demand but research in reading many 'sitters reviews' are ALL females or couples, as yet have NOT come across and oldie and a male like me. Thus even though very much like the idea of house sitting, i.e. lounging about, painting in the garden and taking dogs for a walk and cuddling cats, I now suspect I have been 'naive' in believing I would be a popular choice by owners and even though the company 'say' they have a money-back policy if after 14 days a new sitter gets no bookings - I am not convinced I would get my money back plus the time and effort in applying to sit which would be places that were not popular, i.e. non-tourist type places as in most cases, been there and done it. Thanking anyone, who spends time reading my comment and any opinions or experiences would be most gratefully received.

Sitters should be paid it’s not a fair trade.

I’m here to review the site to know whether to sign up.

Do you ever worry about cameras in your bathroom or sleeping area?

I enjoy nice homes ! Just hesitant to trust it

I’m in the uk and hesitating to pay for the subscription

How ‘competitive’ is it to land a house? And how hard and how long was it to get your first stay when you started?

Great video! Thank you for this informative review.

do you meet the pet parents before they leave, or do they just leave instructions and you never meet them? how does that work

Hello, having watched your video, my girlfriend and I decided to become a member on the website. However, we are asked to give a reference to have our profile live. We don't know anyone. So, how can we have a reference? Could you help us with that?

So it seems to vary wildly, but like are you able to go out and be a tourist at all? Like how many of these owners want you to just stay home and be there for their pets? Otherwise I guess it gives you a free place to sleep/shower for a couple days but I’d just stay at hostels so I am not tied down to such commitments.

how good do you get paid? or do you even get paid? or is it more something to do on Holidays? I ffantasize about housesitting a few weeks, then travel around a bit an dthen housesit again. Would this be possible?

This video might as well say “if you want to breath open your lungs and inhale air” This shit is common since and if you are an adult that needs “tips” on how to house sit…. Then you should go back to the short bus that picked you up from the group home you live at

I did trusted house sitters and did not realize it was fucking free!!!! I had to watch two dogs and it was terrible. But my Lord imagine my surprise when I found out I was not getting paid for two days of work!

THS simply facilitates the haves taking advantage of free labour from the have-nots basically and the true winners in the equation are THS with a recurring membership fee and AI-driven customer service. But hosts also shouldn't ever assume that sitters are broke and desperate and easily taken advantage of. For example, we are simply childfree and digital entrepreneurs with flexibility (always looking for a site idea like THS to improve on!) so we likely earn more than hosts with regular jobs and a mortgage shackle. It's a trap in many ways so please do your research on all the THS Reddit threads, etc and never ever assume a 5* reviewed home is 5*. Take notice of any poorer reviews if they sound rational and balanced.

How great is the chance that you get the application? Does it ever really happen that they choose someone else over you? I'm looking at a 3 week application but ideally I'd only pay for the subscription if I knew i was gonna get it 😅 but obviously there is no guarantee.

What about someone with a shit house. I need someone to look after my budgie as me and my partner want to go on two holidays next year.

You should DEFINITELY get paid for it. Sure it could be a great experience but as I’ve just finished my first 2 house sits… it should definitely be something that’s rewarded, you’re caring for and walking pets, it’s not completely like a airbnb where you can actually do everything you want on your own time. Plus it depends on the owner. Some owners are just so anal about things and wants excessive updates and although you’re staying in their house.. you paid the same amount as them for the platform so you’re obviously genuine and in it for the love of pets… some owners can give such a weird vibe than what’s displayed on trusted sitters. This last one was a contrast, although I didn’t get to meet her, key was left in Dropbox, everything was explained once in the beginning and that’s IT. She left me free to my own devices and trusted my care with her dog and the difference was nice. I didn’t feel like I had to be on eggshells or anything, and she was very chilled and so was the sweet dog…. BUT still. 2-3 walks a day is lowkey labor for a pet that’s not yours. It should at LEAST be compensated because you’re spending all that time with the dog which is fine, but when you could be exploring more. It should at least be payed for so you don’t feel an uneven exchange of time and then you can use that to explore and recharge to walk the pets some more. Like it’s only common sense but those are the only downsides. It’s true the homes on there are very lovely, great places to stay and great locations. It’s a good opportunity to travel or just stay in a good place with pets.

It’s definitely a cool idea, but just like so much other gig work, such as door dash, it is exploitation to the max. That is absolutely insane, not only do the house owners have to pay money to list it but you as a potential sitter have to pull money and then you do not get paid at all! They are just literally having the technology to host the app. Such expectation so just a few young entrepreneurs can have a yacht

Housesitting can be quite demanding. It depends on the host. If they have lots of pets its tiring, its more of a chore 😁 we had a host who demand to much like wanting us to let them know from time to time if there pets are okay… lol anyway, we have been living in a van and we just try housesitting if we like it. We did find some good hosts who does not demand a lot… to make the story short, just be mindful if they have lots of pets, dogs are really tiring you have to walk them and pick up their poop 😁 of course and they’re so needy… if we housesit again, we prefer just cats no dogs, chickens are fine as well…

I understand that people have more control with this site, but I would never pay to house sit. I get paid $200 a day and $300 on a holiday and sit homes every day of the year. I also work remotely so I am making ~$100k just from the sitting a year and then my realtor commissions. If people like this site, more power to them, however, there is a lot of demand and people willing to pay you for it. I do 0% prospecting and all of my leads are referrals through book of business and some sites. Being a sitter, as it is as close to passive work, was the best decision I could have made.

All this whinging about not getting notifications from messages. With the app you get notifications for every message, if you don't have the app you still get an email when you have a message unless you turned it off.

Just one question.... Do premium members get any preference over Basic members? Do they go to the top of a list? There are three different types of membership ranging from £199 Premium; £129 Standard or £99 basic. Which do you have and would you say the 'extras' of a Premium membership are worth the money? i appreciate £199 isn't expensive but I do like VFM. If I can save £100 its 4 return flights with Ryanair. 🙂

Did you choose where to travel based on where you got a gig? It seems difficult to line up the location, exact dates, etc if you choose a location first and then look for what gigs there are. Also do you find it to be very competitive?

and what if the pet owner cancel last minute and you booked far away? I mean is there a protection for your flight costs? :-)

Ive just discovered the website, it looks so awesome! I’ve pet sitted before just not through the website. How easy is it to find a house sitting job when you don’t have experience on the website itself?

Perfect. Great tips. So helpful. Thank you.

is it hard for them to accept. or if you apply to one you like do they normally say yes or is there big waiting list? when you start an account how quickly can you get a house to sit as you wont have any views /experience doing so

Hi... I came across your videos yesterday and watched the one where you started your THS experience. I've been with them a year now, just about to do my 6th, a month in a beautiful hamlet in North Yorkshire and finish with a 3 week sit in Somerset area in November. This has been the best choice for me in a long time and I'm loving it. I've only done UK so but hoping to get to Portugal next spring as I'm really interested in exploring Portugal as a country. I'm 65 and found this to be a very safe and affordable way to travel. All my reviews have been 5* too and l get a lot of requests to sit too, mostly l have to decline as dates are not compatible. On the subject of notifications though, l still get an email whenever l receive a communication and once l am confirmed, their profile then says 'no longer in need of a sitter' so l would suggest, once someone books you, get them to confirm on the site, it then goes into 'upcoming sits' l'm going to watch your sits abroad now, see how they have gone ... Keep enjoying THS 💛

OMG! I charge $90 per night. I would never work for free! I don't care where that place exist. I also would never have someone think that they can stay at my home as payment for their services! This whole business of trading labor for room is idiotic!

Hi fellow housesitter. Currently coming to the end of a 3 week sit in Copenhagen via trustedhouse sitters. I think the changes they've made recently removes some of the points you raised especially listings being paused once 5 sitters apply.

So you dont get paid for house sitting?

It’s awesome that you get to stay in the home for free! But do you get any payment to house sit at all?

I do get emails that someone has messaged me from housesitters
