Hi @TheBrandons0819 two of our firsts sits were in U.K. for homeowners who were also a newbies ( so no reviews ) we had video calls and both sits went well - we’ve since done repeat sits for both.
As it’s an international sit even more important to have a Plan B in case the worst happens and the sit is cancelled or curtailed by the owner (we had this happen to us twice this year in UK )
In the unlikely event that this happens to you I suggest that you make a back up plan for what you will do.
You are very likely will be able to find a replacement sit in U.K. as there are always more sits listed than sitters available.
However you may need to find alternative accommodation ; if a sit is cancelled . Are you Premium members and therefore covered by the cancellation insurance if the homeowner cancels within 14 days of the start date ? If not, do you have funds in place to cover alternative accommodation?
Finally, have you discussed with the homeowners who will be responsible for paying any emergency vet fees if required? You don’t want to end up with a big bill on your credit card .
If you’ve not already read this thread I recommend that you do ….https://forum.trustedhousesitters.com/t/sitter-has-to-pay-veterinary-expenses-up-front
Most of these scenarios are unlikely to happen to you but if they do you will be prepared .
Enjoy your trip to U.K. I am sure it will be a great experience and if you want suggestions about places to visit whilst in U.K. the forum members will be happy to provide suggestions if you want to tell us the area that you will be staying in.
